Tandoori Nights

I took my wife here last night for Valentine's Day. Our meal was spectacular. For an appetizer, we split the Pani Poori....so tasty!! My wife had the Tandoori Chicken and I had the Seafood Platter. Along with Garlic Naan and Roti. It was so delicious. And lots of food too. We took back enough for two more dinners. And they were so nice. As it was Valentine's Day, they gave us each a Lindt Chocolate bar as a gift and the deserts they gave us were free.....and so amazing. The service was spot on as well. The restaurant was decorated very nicely for Valentine's Day too. We'll be back and soon!

I have been here twice with my wife and both times it is delicious! Most recently I went last night with her family and it was their first time trying Indian food. I’m not a great test for authentic indian food, I understand the basics. The food is delicious and fresh. The service is consistent. Last night we go naan and garlic naan, chicken pakooras, aloo chat papri to start. The naan was warm and fresh. The pookoras were crispy and had a nice sauce. I wasn’t a fan of the chat papri but my wife and her seemed to enjoy it. We ordered entrees: Lamb Vindaloo Lamb Punjabi Lamb Patiala (we all wanted lamb lol) Shrimp Alfrezi We all really liked our dishes. I ended up swapping the Patiala with my mother in law’s Vindaloo because I think it was too spicy for her. Lamb Vindaloo is easily my favorite dish here. It’s authentically(?) spicy and soooo good. No dessert this time. All in all it was a great meal. Will return sooner than last time.

This food was incredible!! We ordered samosas, malai kofta, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, jalapeño and cheese naan, and garlic naan. Everything we ate was so delicious and felt like very high quality food. The food was also packaged very well - we got this food for takeout and I think Indian food is among the absolute best for takeout options. Despite our drive home, the samosas were still crispy and crunchy and the rest of our food was still beautifully warm. The samosas were delightful and the two chutneys (tamarind and cilantro, I think?) were flavorful and paired really well. The malai kofta was also amazing. I had had croquettes on my mind for weeks, and it really hit the spot. The chicken tikka masala and butter chicken were both really flavorful and yummy as well. Next time, I’m going to order a non-chicken dish because I didn’t realize until after we finished eating that we really tunnel-visioned on chicken. Tandoori Nights has delightful non-chicken offerings as well, from paneer to veggies to lamb. The naan was really tasty - we dipped the naan in all the sauces that our food came in and didn’t leave a single drop. While we got this food for takeout, it looked like Tandoori Nights had really great outdoor seating! There was a solid amount of tables outside where one could enjoy a summer evening without having to worry about their pandemic anxiety. I know that I, for one, am not emotionally ready to eat inside yet so having these options is reassuring. We’ll definitely be back! Even as broke grad students, there are certain foods we are willing to shell out for and Indian food is absolutely one of them.

My wife and I just had a nice dinner here. The food was delicious and the service was great, we will definitely be back again!

Tandoori Nights was a great lunch spot!! The food and service were both amazing. The buffet had a lot of options which were all delicious. Will definitely be coming back again soon!!
