| - I have been eagerly awaiting the opening of Tandur! We made it in on a Thursday night, and there was a line to nearly the door (about 15 people deep).
We ordered the Naantachos (nachos on naan) as an app, and then the Tikka Masala with Chicken and the Tikka Massala with Paneer as our entrees. After we ordered at the counter, we looked for a table but there were none available indoors. After waiting a bit we found a table; we then waited about 15 minutes for our food.
The app and entrees came out together. The app was fine and the entrees were as well. The most notable thing about the entrees was that there was so little rice. There were 3 pieces of naan, a bowl of the tikka massala, and a small mound of rice. There was not nearly enough rice for the amount of sauce provided.
My friend quickly identified that the best way to eat the entrees was to dip the naan in the sauce bowl and then later add the rice to the bowl.
The portions are small - medium size. My boyfriend said he left hungry, even though he had an app and an entree (and even some of my entree).
The food was adequate for fast casual dining, but was not nearly as good as Copper or Blue Taj (other Charlotte Indian Restaurants). Also, the Tikka masala sauce was spicy despite being labeled as having no spice. It was ok for me, but someone who is spicy averse would not enjoy the Tikka masala sauce.
They had a lot of people working, and the employees were friendly and attentive. I was so excited for this place to open, but it just didn't meet my expectations.
