Was very surprised by this meal. Lots of vegan options. Had the Dabeli, which was a potato based…read moresandwich with onion and crispy peanut, on a soft bread. Really interesting texture. And then a deconstructed samosa bowl, so much flavor. Favorite thing about this place was that they didn't prepare the food with a ton of oil. I ate quite a bit and it didn't feel heavy. Talked to the owners, nice people, and the place is very clean. And the prices were reasonable. This place is a find, especially for vegans.

Someone call the EPA, because there's been an oil spill in the Hackensack area and it seems like…read moresome of it seeped into Tandoori Chef's kitchen. I ordered the daal fry but one look at it made me think "daal cry". Because I was sad that I spent so much money on this ecological disaster. The yellow colored daal sat in a bowl, drowning in what looked like about a 1/4 cup of reddish cooking oil. If John D. Rockefeller ordered this, he'd be dancing in the streets because of this discovery. Pouring out the oil, in order to the get to the bottom of the greasy ocean, to dig for daal wasn't on my bingo card. And it shouldn't be on anyone else's bingo card. I can't comment on other items on the menu. But I'm hoping they were protected from the spill. You can always make daal fry at home I guess. But if you order it from the Tandoori Chef, be sure to bring your scuba gear. You're gonna need it.

I ordered takeout from this spot on Saturday night around 7:30, and honestly, the experience was…read morepretty disappointing. I expected a bit of a wait since it was a weekend, but the food wasn't ready until almost an hour later. Had to sit in the car for nearly half hour. Saturday nights are busy, but a restaurant should be prepared for that. The bigger issue was the Chicken Tikka Masala. It felt like they ran out of their usual portions because the chicken pieces were unusually large, and two of them weren't cooked all the way through. I bit into one and immediately knew something was off, the texture was almost cartilage-like, and it definitely wasn't fully cooked. I couldn't even cut it with a fork. Some of the other pieces were okay and cooked through to be considered edible. The flavor was fine, but the inconsistency and undercooked chicken really ruined the meal.

They had noticed this and tried to get ahold of the seamless driver to come back but he never returned. I wish I had not tipped ahead because that is really poor service on the driver's part. I could not get ahold of the driver directly either, he had left the bag in the wrong place and bolted. I had to get the 2 items refunded because we weren't driving there for just naan. This is not a fault of the restaurant, but the food we did get was just okay. We were able to try the chicken Tikka masala, Gobi Manchurian, okra, lamb samosas, and extra rice since I wasn't 100% sure the food was coming with it already. Lamb samosa was decent flavor but a little dry. We wished the Tikka masala was creamier/sweeter and the chicken wasn't very tender. Gobi Manchurian tasted good but might be better eating in house so it might be crispy. Okra flavor was good but a little slimy, I have had it other places that make it more dry and avoid the okra slime. Rice was standard. Looks like we are still on the hunt for Indian in our area.
