| - If I weren't a kind and generous person, Café Tandoor would get a single star, but that just seems mean. I like to reserve space and hope for improvement, and it wasn't totally awful. I mean, I'm not vomiting or anything.
My sweetheart and I were very much looking forward to our delivery order arriving. We eagerly opened our order of butter chicken, saffron rice, aloo jeera, and bainjan bharthai. We happily spooned servings into our bowls and settled in for some deliciousness, except that it was, well, not delicious.
While we had both ordered a medium level of spice, all of our dishes were bland. Actually, that's not entirely true. Both the aloo jeera and bainjan bharthai had a peculiar smoky flavor that we struggled to define. We finally settled on "unpleasant" and "bitter" and, we hope, "not rancid." The butter chicken's flavor was better, in that it tasted like very dry, very bland butter chicken rather than smoky mystery spice. The rice was fine. Overall, the food was barely mediocre.
For $50 and an hour's wait, this dinner was a big disappointment. We'll be looking for other options next time. On the upside, the delivery driver was nice.
