| - I have been hurting for some decent Indian takeaway, ever since my across the street go to place's food has declined.
So Tandoori Grill opened next to a liquor store on 14th. Booze and Indian food next to one another, AMAZING. I couldn't find a menu online and after begging for help from twitter and still no response, I just called them up.
"Hi, I don't have a menu, so I am just going to guess at what you have and can you tell me if I can order it or not?"
The friendly lady on the phone was very accommodating and everything I wanted, they could provide me with.
We ordered vegetable samosas, vegetable pakoras, butter chicken, lamb biryani and three plain naan. What I didn't realize is that butter chicken along with lamb chops, tandoori mix platter and shish kabab are chef's specials so they come with a piece of naan already and a salad (I loved everything about Tandoori Grill except that salad is pretty much nonexistent).
I was greeted with all smiles when I arrived to pick up my order, the couple who run the place are very nice. The woman who took my order on the phone remembered I did not have a menu so gave me one and told me it is posted on their facebook page.
We got home and ripped into our meal, and I was very impressed. This ain't no pre made frozen samosas, pakoras or naan. You can tell the naan was made with tender love and care, nice and pillowy, I wanted to take a nap on it. it also wasn;t covered in burned bits, like some naan, which I assume comes from a dirty tandoori oven. The samosas and pakoras were exceptional and very tasty.
The butter chicken was also excellent, I am not a fan of the giant chicken chunks, and this chicken was nicely cut in bite size portions and the sauce was tangy and flavourful. The lamb in the biryani was cooked perfectly, nice and moist.
So those who drive past Tandoori Grill or live in the area and go "I wonder if it's good?" It is! and their prices are also good considering other indian restaurants in the area.
I have also taken pictures of the menu and added it for enquiring minds, so go forth hungry patron, go forth and enjoy Tandoori Grill!
