This place is quiet. Which is a good thing, I think. THe location is privately nooked almost out of sight from anyone (although in a strip mall next to a nice camera store) so it tends to slip my mind that it exists - but the great food and professional service makes it one of my favorite places to go! Whenever my wife mentions it, we end up there and have a great meal.
It can be a romantic dinner or just a casual bite- either way, there are no TVs or anything - instead ... there are a few statues (which my 5-year old claims need more clothing on) and artwork that bring the Indian culture a bit closer than it was before you came in the door.
I've brought kids several times and they tend to make it go from craziness level zero to crazy level 6. But that's out of 10 and the employees there are always super laid back about it. They have a kids menu that is great and they give out crayons and a decent Taj Mahal drawing for the kids to color in.
They have a nice (although tidy) selection of bottled beers and wines as well as many great dishes. Really an excellent place to get a vegetarian meal that is wholesome and balanced while being extremely tasty. If you need a relaxing dinner without distractions, Cafe Tandoor will leave you thanking Annapurna (the Indian God of food and cooking).
