    Nothing Indian about this place. All the food tasted like it was reheated from a frozen box, not taste at all. Very overpriced for the lack of quality and service. Owner kept saying they are more focused on serving the non-Indian customers. Also on the way out found a roach hanging on the curtain.

    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Thierry T.

    This is our first time here, we came for dinner. 1. Service - the friendly waiters came and checked up on us quite a bit, but not too much to where you feel disturbed. They serve a-la-carte during dinner hours. You get seated, order, and pay at your table. 2. Price - fairly priced, and a bang for the buck. There main entrees are about $10 a person. 3. Ambiance - this place can use some more decorations. Cute, petit, but not very romantic. They can use some more booths and some partitions. Dress code is casual. 4. Food - I had the Tandoori Chicken, Garlic Naan, and the wife had the Chicken Tikka Masala. The Tandoori dish is served with a lemon flavor, and ordered at medium spicy. In my opinion, it was not spicy enough if you can handle sriracha. The wife thought that her Tikka Masala was flavorful, and also ordered it medium spicy. She also could handle more spicy. Garlic Naan was not bad, but not as flavorful as we wanted it to be. 5. Cleanliness - dining area visually looks clean. Also a plus that the table, utensils, and cups were not sticky. I'm impressed and I recommend this place. I'm definitely coming back to try out the other dishes.

    I haven't dined at many Indian restaurants, but growing up with childhood friends from India and Pakistan, I have few but authentic experience with the food. Visiting Tandoori Indian Cuisine on 2920 tonight was nostalgic... and delicious! I have have so many great things to say about this place, so I'll just name a few reasons why I would happily recommend it: - The humble & welcoming service felt as if you were eating in someone's home, rather than a restaurant. Iman was a sweet and gracious hostess. And Rashik was eager and pleasant as he refilled our waters and cleared our table. They both stopped to explain each dish and ingredients to me as I walked by the buffet. Mody, the manager, made sure to visit each table and shared background on the chef/owners with us. He was both enthusiastic and modest. - The food was fantastic! I enjoyed everything I sampled, but my favorite dishes were the silky chicken masala, the not-too-gamey-not-too-spicy goat curry, the complimentary fresh naan bread with its perfectly chewy texture (you won't regret dipping it in the mint chutney... and everything else!), and the gulab jamun (airy dessert balls with a surprising texture & unique flavor profile). The self-serve carafe of masala chai (think chai latte) was a wonderful finish. High regards to Chef Shahid! (*Sorry if I misspelled any names!) - Personally, as a fan of ethnic cuisine, I'm excited to see a new addition of this kind to the area. - It's a bargain! At $9.99 for the lunch buffet offered every day and fair prices on their full a la carte menu, as a diner you'll get your money's worth. Well, I enjoyed my visit very much!!! The restaurants is only 3 days old, and I wish great success for this family owned & operated gem. I will definitely be back again and very soon! :)

    This Indian restaurant is located in an area where there really isn't much other competition. Upon arriving during a weekend lunch, the greeting with the waitress was a little awkward, as they were hesitant to allow me to look at the buffet line or go directly there when entering the restaurant. They said it wasnt quite ready yet, even though it was already 11am. I set my sunglasses down on the table and started to walk up to the front but they wanted me to place my drink order first. I just ordered an ice tea, waited about 5 minutes and then went to the buffet line. I was the first customer of the day and finally one other customer came in before I left. The buffet is medium-sized I would say with 4 entrees (3 chicken and 1 goat), about 6 veggie dishes, chutneys and raita. On the day I came, the buffet didn't have palak paneer, darn! They bring your naan to your table shortly after you return from the buffet line. Lunch buffet is supposedly available 7 days a week! Overall, all the food items I tried tasted excellent. My favorites were the pakora, goat curry, and butter chicken. One veggie item, the eggplant with potatoes was sorta cold, so their chaffing dish wasn't working right apparently. There were no dishes which were even remotely spicy, sadly. Lunch buffet was about average priced at $9.99. My only complaint is that they charge $3 for plain unsweetened iced tea, which is just a little steep while they charge only 2.50 if you order a soda.

    This is what you get for $17 Butter Chicken. Naan bread will cost you an extra $3.99 through UberEats.

    Minuscule Portion Sizes -- Figured I'd give this place a try as I was craving Indian food and this seemed like a great option. I ordered the Butter Chicken for $17 through UberEats and this is what I received. If I'm paying $17 for butter chicken (naan bread naat included btw), I would think the portion sizes for the chicken would be... more generous? Basically paid $17 for small chicken breast pieces in a bowl of super watery butter broth. The garlic naan bread was pretty good but the portion sizes for the chicken simply ruined the whole meal for me. Tried getting a refund on Uber eats but apparently they don't consider small portion sizes enough of a problem to justify a refund. Going on 12am and still hungry... and I'm not even a big guy! Frustrating as now everything is closed. Won't be reordering.

    Peshawari Naan
    Michelle O.

    I ordered takeout Butter Chicken, Peshawari Naan and Paneer Makhani. Both dishes came with a small takeout box of basmati rice. They tasted similar to me as they both had a thick tomato sauce, but the Butter Chicken had a bit of spice. The chicken was cut into a variety of sizes. The paneer was cut into small cubes. I thought there was an okay amount of chicken in the Butter Chicken, but the Paneer Makhani needed a little more cheese cubes. The Peshwari Naan was like dessert bread. Ordering takeout wait time is about 20 min. The interior looked clean. They have Bollywood music videos on the tv.

    Lunch buffet

    Yes yes yes! I'll Admit, we've only been for the lunch buffet. Thats why we love it, small, fresh, hot, and delicious. I've found the small buffet and smaller food pans keep the options fresh. Don't be afraid to try the goat curry!

    Butter Chicken with barely 3 pieces of chicken. So watery and bland.

    A good Indian restaurant if your ever in Waco. Go for the food and service, not the atmosphere.

    This place was so good! We got take out here and I made a mistake and forgot to add rice on the app…read morebut the lady working was kind enough to show us how to put it in so we get what we're asking for and gave us rice. The samosas were delicious! My fiancé and I both loved our dishes. I ate most of the naan because he's not a cilantro guy. Honestly cool with that--I loved the naan. The ambiance was cool inside, cozy and I bet families come all the time and make core memories here. 10/10. We both got medium spicy and my nose was running but it was worth it. I got the qeema aloo muttor and my partner got the spinach with chicken curry and we both loved our dishes. Next time I'll try the muttor rice and try another dish.

    Let me start by saying that the service was excellent! Something that is always appreciated…read more The food was good, but it unfortunately wasn't to our taste. My husband is from India (Gujarat) so we eat authentic Indian food on a regular basis and we found the food here to be a different flavor than what we're used to, probably because it's more Pakistani than Indian in terms of flavor. Both of the curries we had were more sweet than what we're used to, but they weren't bad. Just didn't satisfy our cravings! My husband ordered the Paani Puri as it's his all-time favorite dish and they prepared it here much differently than what he's used to. He really wasn't a fan. Their Masala Fries (an appetizer), however, were absolutely incredible! I haven't had fries like this before and the crunch fries paired with the assorted sauce combination was so delicious. If you're looking for Indian food and are searching for a specific flavor palette, I might recommend trying elsewhere because your tastebuds might not be fully satisfied here. Otherwise, give this place a try as they have a variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options to choose from!

If you're not a fan of spicy, I would stick with level 1 or 2. I ordered mine with basil rice. Pretty good. I'll be back for sure. The restaurant itself is nothing fancy at all. Decor was very basic. I noticed one table that needed to be cleaned the entire time I was there. Bottom line - Really good Indian food. However, The lack of attention to detail in the dining area cost them a star. I'll be back. Bon appétit, y'all.

    The Best Indian Food Experience of My Entire Life…read more Listen... I thought I was about to order some basic, predictable Indian food. But the owner stopped us mid-menu and said, "No. I've got you." And THANK GOD he did, because what he brought out changed my entire understanding of what good food is. First came the cauliflower appetizer and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the single most amazing thing I have ever put in my mouth. Perfectly crispy, perfectly sauced, perfectly everything. I will be dreaming about that cauliflower for the rest of my life. Then he brought out two more dishes that were so good I had to just sit there in silence like I was having a spiritual awakening. You can feel the love and passion in his cooking. This man didn't just serve us food he served us his heart, his culture, his everything. The hospitality? Immaculate. You can tell this is his passion and it shines through every second you're there. Nicest man ever, best food ever, best experience ever. I am genuinely thankful to the universe for leading me to this restaurant. If you're wondering whether to go GO. And let him pick your food. Just trust the process. Absolute perfection.

The chicken was perfectly cooked, super tender, and packed with flavor. Every bite had the right balance of spices without being overpowering. You can tell everything is made fresh and with care. The samosas were crispy on the outside with a flavorful filling, and their tikka sauce on the side took it to another level. The chicken pakoras were just as impressive -- crispy, well-seasoned, and not greasy at all. And let's talk about that desi spicy ranch... absolute game changer. It paired perfectly with everything and honestly made the whole meal a 10/10. This is officially my new favorite Indian spot. Highly recommend if you're craving bold, flavorful, and perfectly cooked Indian food. Also, the prices are out great and the service is extremely fast! I'm editing this review because I just tried the tikka masala and the coconut curry as well as the garlic naan at a different location and even their chicken Pecora's at the other location in Montrose was not as good. I would rather drive to spring and go to this location tasted better. coconut curry was good however it's not better than the tikka masala so I wouldn't get it again same with the garlic naan it was good but not something I need cause it comes with basmati rice and I need to remember next time to get the tikka masala at normal heat rather than hot. I feel like the hot overpowers the flavor.
