For once there is an Indian restaurant without cheesy decor, like good restaurants in India. However the food is Americanized which I think is needed if you want to appeal to a wider American clientele.
I am an Indian with a low tolerance for spicy food but the food here is really mild, so would not recommend it to my Indian friends but definitely to the non-Indian friends.
I think the ambience of a restaurant is important and Tandur has it.
