    Sides and lentil soup

    Small family owned restaurant with well presented Indian food. We came for the lunch buffet after church and were impressed by the offerings. The sweetest surprise was the chai tea is also included in the buffet. I am really picky when it comes to naan bread. Theirs is actually in my top 3, and l LOVE Indian food (read: l eat a lot of it). Even when l came back to it maybe 10 mins later, it was still pillowy soft. Amazing! The inside has maybe 4 tables and there is also seating outside. We will definitely come back. I am thankful to Yelpers not leading us astray on this one. Wish l had come here 3 years ago when we had just moved here. We have been missing out!

    I ordered the chicken Tiki masala with some butter naan bread. Food was flavored nicely. The sauce for the chicken masala was different than I've tried a different places but still fine. Naan bread was very stale and overcooked. Might come back and try something different.

    Six indoor tables and outdoor seating too.

    Finally-authentic Indian cuisine plus personable, excellent service in North San Diego County! We enjoyed the amazing dishes with mild spice levels as requested (yes, they actually listened!) including aloo gobi, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, and more! Be sure to chat with the owner. She's terrific. We will definitely be back.

    When is the buffet?

    It's on the weekend, I believe between 11:30 and 2:30

    Is it safe for someone with a shellfish allergy to eat non-shellfish dishes? Does this restaurant practice cross-contamination safety?

    Not sure ..

    Are the meats halal?

    The meat is 100% Halal

    Hey Yelpers. I have been so excited for this place to open, anyone know if they have gluten free options? I'll likely be calling and asking the restaurant so I can write a review but thought I'd throw it out to see if anyone has asked yet :)

    Yes we do have gluten free options . Except for few appetizers and breads .. most of the curries are gluten free . Please ask , if u have any queries .. before you order ..

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.

I loved my blt. The two Caesar salads for the table disappeared quickly because their dressing is unbelievable! Let's see .... what didn't we eat is probably smarter than what did we eat. Beet ketchup, The C Word (braised cabbage), a couple of cronic sushi rolls, and there was a special lemon creme brûlée.
