I have been anxiously awaiting this opening for months since I first saw the signs and read about it online. The wait was well worth it. I eat in this shopping center several times a week and Tandur is a great addition to the rotation.
We arrived for a quick work lunch shortly after 11:00 to find no wait. Service was prompt and helpful. I already knew what I wanted so I did not try the various sauces they offered. There is ample seating and the restaurant feels nice and open.
My chicken tikka masala arrived after a very short wait. The portion was impressive and the colors looked amazing. It had just the right amount of chicken and rice. Right away I was a bit put off by the naan being buttered or something similar. Though it was still crispy the texture was a bit messier than I hoped. The flavors were great and I was very pleased with the food. It seemed like they are setup for less adventurous diners as they have seasoning by the drinks if you want to spice up the dish. My tikka masala had good flavor but no heat.
Other than the buttery/oily naan, I was disappointed the food was not as hot (temperature) as I would have expected. They had only been open for 10 minutes so the food could not have sat around too long. It arrived to the table a little warm but not hot. Maybe it's a personal preference.
In any event I already have my next meal picked out and a few other coworkers lined up to try it next week. I am excited for the new addition to the neighborhood.
