Tandoori Express is the latest eatery in the Dhaba sweepstakes that sometimes overwhelms Mississauga/ Brampton. I had done take out 2 twice from here both times my chosen curry was swimming in oil and leaking. This time as I was passing by I though I would trying dining in to see if I would get better results. Decor wise the place is small but done up very nice and step up from most places which tend to open up in previous restaurants thus having low start up costs and tend to have a minimal atmosphere.
I started with the Hara Bhara Kebab, which didn't have much minced meat in it. The kebabs had a bad oily after taste to it. I ate 1 and left the rest. Next up was the lamb Kadai which I ordered with the naan and a roomali roti. Interestingly the take out menu includes a naan while dining in it is extra. The lamb quality was good as many places use a lower quality meat or over cook it and thus it tends to have "rubbery" texture. The dish was again overly oily for my tastes but I guess that is pretty much the standard sadly in many but not all Indian/ Pakistani places.
Interestingly as I'm paying the manager/owner asked why I left kabab starter uneaten and I told him. He went to the kitchen for a few minutes and his only response was to give me a "10%" discount on the meal !
Overall: This place is new so it has potential but as I eat Indian food often in Mississauga there are better places for about the same prices.
