Ambience: 4/5 We decided to give this place a try for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. When we walked in, there two other groups of two people but no workers. We decided to just sit and as we did a worker came out of the kitchen and we just nodded at each other as we sat down. That pretty much sums up the service we had - very no nonsense and no conversation. This doesn't bother us much, but if you are the kind of person that likes to be attended to then you might have felt a little weird about it. They also weren't playing music for the first 10-15 minutes, so it was a little awkwardly quiet. Once the music started back up, I felt like the atmosphere got a little better. Food 5/5 I had checked out their menu online and was really excited to see they had Pani Puri! I have always wanted to try it, but it isn't very common in Indian restaurants. We really enjoyed it but I personally would have liked an option to up the spice or maybe have some chilis on the side. Veg Samosas were perfect - no notes! So yummy with the green chutney Tikka Masala with Chicken - really can't go wrong with this dish but man this one had us scraping the plate! So good and the rice comes included which is not always included so that was nice. Garlic naan and was also good! Perfect with the Tikka Masala Mango Lassi was good - not the best I've ever had but it was still refreshing in this hot afternoon. All in all we were really happy with our meal and we were already talking about the things we would order if we came back. read more

Wonderful service! Don't even think about it, just go! read more

Flavors were great, I really loved the butter chicken sauce, the chicken was a bit of a let down, had a tendon-y texture. They use a mix of light and dark meat I noticed. If i could choose chicken breast only I would. Anyways, ambiance is great, not too busy during the day, i noticed it starting to pick up a little later. Garlic naan was almost $9 tho , a bit expensive if you ask me. read more

I love Tandoori guys. I'm a sucker for Chicken Tikka Massala and Garlic Naan bread and this place does not disappoint. Amazing flavor and the perfect level of spice. I highly recommend this place, not only for it's amazing food, but for its amazing decor and ambience. If you enjoy people watching, the front patio right on PCH is great too. Be sure to ask for Mandal. He's friendly and takes good care of all his customers. 5 out of 5 stars! read more

When the Itch for Indian food needs scratching, the Tandoori Guys is probably the best option you have in Oceanside. This is one of four locations in San Diego County. I placed my order over the phone for take out, and it was ready in about 20 minutes. When I walked in to pick it up, the place was about 80% full and the food smelled great. Tandoori Guys did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was excellent. Chicken Tiki Masala, Butter Chicken Curry, Sag Paneer, Yellow Dall, Chana Masala, Basmati Rice, Garlic Naan and Papadams. The food is very flavorful and the chicken was nice and tender. We ordered everything medium spicy, but it really tasted like it was hot spicy. We all worked up a sweat eating it. I'm not complaining. Usually when I order food at a medium spice, I can barely taste the heat, but there is plenty of heat to be had over here. Definitely delicious. The Tandoori Guys make some delicious food, and I look forward to going back for more. read more

This place is great! The lunch special really gives you enough to eat and a nice variety. It's a great way to try their food if you're a first-timer to Indian cuisine. Their food is mildly seasoned. I would have liked a bit more of a flavor punch, but it wasn't lacking at all in overall food enjoyment. The dining area is airy and feels like you're dining both inside and outside which is a nice experience for that area. read more

I told my local friend I tried Indian food for the first time, and he immediately said, "YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE TO TANDOORI GUYS!" Luckily, I did! The butter chicken, garlic naan, and chai tea knocked my socks off. It is ridiculously flavorful and unlike any other cuisine you'll find. Kind staff and a great environment only add to the enjoyment, this place is great. read more

If I had $100 for my last meal I would order the chicken tikka masala (extra chicken) , garlic naan, and save the extra 70 bucks for my funeral cause this food is BUSSIN'. Portions are just right!Garlic naan is soft and delectable- not to mention the staff is very nice. All jokes aside I've tried all the Indian restaurants near Oceanside pier and this one is knees and shoulders above all the rest. FIH STAH read more

Got take out. The pani puri was good - the water was perfect combination of tangy, spicy, and sweet; the puris could be crispier. The samosa chat was good but it was lukewarm and difficult to reheat. The gobi Manchurian was solid. The Ras malai was spoiled! It smelled odd and the "Ras" was solidified and one bite left a terrible bitter taste. Very disappointed! read more

The best authentic Indian food in the oside/ vista/carlsbad triangle. The lamb or goat curry ( chefs special) are the standouts. But they also have great chicken, fish, veggie options. Definitely check out the luch specials. read more

The BEST Indian food in Oceanside, wether you're dining in or doing takeout this is the place to order from! The aesthetic inside is very cute and open, however there is limited seating so be sure to get here before the dinner rush if you want to dine in! Service is always friendly and fast. My husband and I love the butter chicken and chicken tikk masala, both are absolutely delicious! read more

I knew upon entering that I would absolutely love this place; the ambience and decor are elegant and stunning! There's lots of black, some gold and walls of mirrors that open up the interior. Sounds Vegas-y, but it really works. I ordered a mango lassi, the veggie samosas and tandoori chicken. I ended up with the drink to-go as they made it fresh and it took a bit longer than expected. The food came out fast; everything was delicious without the sauce accompaniments. The samosas were a bit salty but I had a huge carafe of water to myself. I didn't know the chicken was going to be bone-in; I was so happy to get drumsticks! My server was friendly and calm (which translates to: soft-spoken). I arrived close to opening time with a few other patrons... it was fairly quiet but I had trouble hearing him even when he was right next to me. Overall, I LOVE this restaurant and am looking forward to trying the curries and lunch special. Pros: - ambience and decor - fairly small, concise menu - water is not tap - friendly - reasonable prices + lunch special - food presentation - open all day (many Indian places close midday) - bar seating and table options, lovely patio Cons: - parking sucks (can park free at transit center and walk over) - none really read more

This place is so good!! The service is great, the food is fresh and delicious, and the restaurant is clean and has a really cool vibe with a fun wall mural and a very nice bar area with beer and wine. It's right next to the Fin Hotel and Switchboard on the 101 in O'side. We ordered so much stuff and the only thing that I'sd skip are the Peri Peri wings, just because they were lacking in flavor. The fish curry, mushroom tikka masala and paneer tikka masala were all delish. The garlic naan and cheese naan, also wonderful. The stand out was the fried cauliflower appetizer. So goooood!! I sure hope you all will try it so we can keep this great restaurant in Oside! read more

Tandoori guys has just opened in Oceanside!! We stopped by a few minutes before they opened, but they saw us and opened the doors so we didn't have to wait outside. Our experience is below.. Eats. * Butter naan. Delicious! * Garlic naan. Really can't go wrong, especially if you like garlic. It's delicious and addicting. * Mango lassi. Kids split a cup and loved it. * Chicken korma (comes with rice). This was my favorite. I love the chicken peshawari from the Carlsbad location, and was pretty happy when they said the chicken korma was the same thing. The chicken was tender and the curry itself was packed with flavor. * Tikka masala (comes with rice). A great option if this is your fave/go-to. You can't go wrong with it. We ordered both the korma and tikka masala mild - but both dishes had the perfect flavor with a little kick to it, it was perfect for someone who can't do anything spicy! Location. Next to North Coast Roastery, to the right of the Finn hotel and the Switchboard restaurant. We love the Carlsbad location, but it's a little far for us so it was great to see they opened up here! Service. The people are very friendly and helped answer our questions. Welcome to the neighborhood! We look forward to coming back. Everything was delicious!! Would love to see some lunch specials, too. read more

Great place! Indian food is typically pretty expensive, but Tandoori Guys has really reasonable prices and even have happy hour for wine. Food was really good, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you're eating at a 5-star restaurant at a 3-star price. We stuck to the staples (saag paneer, tikka masala, samosas) and we were definitely happy with our choices. Looking forward to going back to try some different items! read more

We liked this place. We came here on a weekend night and it wasn't too crowded. We ordered the reshmi Malai kabab, the Malai kofta and garlic naan. The food tasted good, no doubt about it. However, the reshmi Malai kabab was a gravy based dish instead of melt in the mouth dry kebabs that we expected. Pricing is decent for the Oceanside area. There is street parking around the area. The service was decent. read more

Indian food is probably my favorite food and I've had some really incredible meals at other places. I had Hugh expectations based on the reviews here and was underwhelmed. The butter chicken was decent-nothing offensive but nothing to write home about. Saag paneer was so salty I couldn't eat it. Unfortunately I ordered takeout so not much could be done. Veggie samosa was another decent item. A little lacking in flavor and mostly just potato but the sauces were good. Overall it's fine, but wouldn't go back because there a couple really great spots in Carlsbad that set the bar. read more

Lunch special was very good!! Quality food. Very nice restaurant. Service was great.

This incident happened back in March 2026, but I still felt the need to share it. I visited Tandoori Guys for dinner and decided to order the lamb seekh kebabs and chicken tikka masala. When the food arrived, everything was hot, tasty, and seemed to be cooked properly. However, when I tried to finish the chicken tikka masala, I could not eat the entire portion, which was unusual for me because I normally finish it without any problem. When I returned home, I felt completely fine, and I also felt fine the following day. However, two days later, I experienced what I can only describe as some of the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I woke up in the middle of the night with mild stomach cramps and went to use the restroom. While standing, I suddenly started feeling extremely weak and experienced pain throughout my body. I immediately felt the need to lie down. The weakness improved when I lay down, but it did not completely go away whenever I stood up or walked around. Eventually, I had diarrhea, even though my body was not initially giving me a strong urge to have it. After that, I started feeling less weak and the stomach pain also decreased. However, the diarrhea did not completely stop, and I continued to experience some diarrhea over the next few days. I do not eat food like this every day, and I have visited Tandoori Guys many times before without ever experiencing food poisoning from their curry. Based on the timing and what I ate that day, I personally believe the lamb seekh kebab was the most likely cause of what happened to me. Because of this experience, I would personally avoid ordering the lamb seekh kebab. If you decide to eat here, I would recommend sticking to some of their more popular menu items, such as chicken tikka masala, naan, paneer tikka masala, or butter chicken. Please do not make the same mistake I did. You never know what might happen, so be careful about what you order. read more

This restaurant is on the side of PCH making it perfect for people watching if you want to sit outside! I ordered the Mushroom Masala and Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan! The waiters made sure we had what we needed and food came out fairly quickly. The Mushroom Masala was so flavorful, it beat out the classic tikka masala in my eyes! This was fantastic for lunch with plenty of leftovers. read more

Tandoori Guys just set the gold standard for Indian food and customer service--and I owe a huge shoutout to Akash for making my last-minute order feel like top priority. I placed an Uber Eats order just before closing, and not only did they accept it without hesitation, they absolutely knocked it out of the park! Let's start with the food: I ordered lamb biriyani, butter chicken, garlic naan, and sev dahi puri--with a special request for extra achaar (Indian pickles), which they included generously. The butter chicken was heavenly. The chicken was perfectly tender, almost melting in my mouth, coated in a rich, velvety sauce that had just the right balance of creaminess and spice. The garlic naan? Outrageously good--steaming hot, fluffy yet crisp around the edges, with just the right char and fragrant garlic that hit all the right notes. It had that perfect pull and tear texture you only get from a truly fresh bake. Now the lamb biriyani--wow. Juicy, flavorful chunks of lamb tucked into beautifully seasoned basmati rice with layers of spices that built gradually. Every bite was warm, savory, and deeply satisfying. And I can't forget the sev dahi puri. Each puri was a burst of flavor and texture: crispy shells filled with tangy yogurt, spicy chutney, and crunchy sev that popped with flavor. It was the kind of dish that makes you pause after the first bite and just smile. What impressed me most was how quickly they got it all together and packaged it so neatly--utensils included, everything sealed and still piping hot on arrival. It's rare to find a restaurant that delivers this level of quality and care on such short notice. Akash, thank you for your outstanding service and attention to detail. You turned a last-minute dinner into an unforgettable meal. Tandoori Guys just earned a loyal customer. read more

Food: everything is so yummy, I was so surprised with the food presentation, it's a cuisine version, but with salad or regular vegetable set would be a plus. Service: only one server but looks like she can handle it coz not too many customers since it's a new restaurant? Ambiance: I was shocked and happy to visit this small but lovely restaurant read more

The rice was not was I'm used to at an Indian restaurant. Not recommended. This kids wouldn't eat it.

Really enjoyed it! The decor inside is lovely (the chairs are great). The service was nice. I got the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan, and both were very good. I will be coming back and bringing friends next time. Well done. read more

Absolutely amazing food and service! The dishes didn't just taste amazing, they were also presented beautifully. If you at all like fish, the tandoori fish was cooked to perfection--moist and flaky on the inside with a light char on the outside (and it's also healthier option, without any sauces added). The best Indian food I've had in the US, and better than plenty of places in India. I wish I had tried this place sooner. The only change I would make: Yelp and Google both say they open for lunch at 11:00am, which needs to be corrected. They don't open until 12:00 noon. read more

DO NOT EAT OR ORDER FROM THIS PLACE! I ordered through the Uber Eats app and realized I was ordering at the wrong location. I called this restaurant immediately and one of the staff members told me that I can cancel on the app to take care of this. I did exactly that. When I checked my checking account, I was still charged the full amount. I called the Uber Eats support line and they had to verify with this restaurant. After being on hold for a few minutes, she said the restaurant denied ever telling me this! Not only are they scammers, they are liars! Never ordering from these people again! read more

Today was my first day at tandoori guys, and it was great. My wife and I each got one of the vegetarian lunch specials and it was a lot of food and it was delicious. I will definitely be back and I recommend it completely read more

Tandoori guys is so good! They definitely have one of the best lunch specials in Oceanside. I got the Butter Chicken and it comes with a large portion or rice, curry chickpeas, salad AND 2 pieces of garlic naan bread. It's like 14 or 15 bucks and it's such a big portion and so delicious . Everyone who works here is also really nice, they take care of you and answer any questions you have about the menu really politely. The restaurant itself is also decorated really cool read more
