Review Tandoori Oven - Cairns

One of the best Nepalese and Indian food we had here very friendly service plus food delicious next level can’t go wrong.Highly recommended to all the customer must try their Punjabi chicken curry,mo:mo,chicken noodle and many more to explore love coming here. This is my favourite joints for munchies 🤙🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Quite possibly the worst India meal I have had. I have had 1000's. Complaints are as follows: - in an almost empty restaurant, it took 40 minutes to be served - overpriced and prices not as stated on the menu board - rice appeared to be reheated, bland and tasteless - curries were of shopping mall quality - waiting staff were slow on every request - a child got sick after the meal

So called large butter chicken which costed $26 was not large by no standards and was super sweet like sugar syrup. So called extra large goat masala was lamb instead of goat. Again the size was not even large. Let alone extra large. So after paying 180 dollar, I have a hungry family. Stay away at any cost. Look at floating oil in goat masala. Size is clearly a standard box claimed as extra large. No one answers the phone call. Really upset with sub standard food and cheating behaviour by the restaurant.

The naan with cheese was the best I have had here in Australia it was so good. The curry was delicious and came in decent portions. I had to take some home.The manager was absolutely amazing. He was attentive and helpful. I accidentally left my purse there. I had cash in it and all my credit cards and id’s. I didn’t realize it till the next day. I walked in while it was closed in the middle of his meeting. As soon as he saw me, he and went behind the desk to give me my purse. I was so happy. I offered to pay him knowing I had cash to offer… he would not accept it at all. Just as nice and humble as could be. Couldn’t thank him enough. I hope more people will eat here and support such a an amazing restaurant and their employees. Best customer service and the food will not disappoint Thank you!

Made a reservation, but was turned away from the restaurant by a waitress upon arrival (there was an ongoing wedding celebration and the restaurant was full). Thankfully next door is a restaurant that makes EXCELLENT Indian food (Marinades). Our night turned out excellent. Their food was great, staff was immensely friendly, and overall just a much better atmosphere than Tandoori Oven. I would highly recommend Marinades Indian Restaurant.

Not the best restaurant to taste if you're looking for authentic south indian restaurant. Below average food, Took too long to serve, 2 families ordered food - first one ordered online and second 1 at the counter as the family didn't want to share tjeir personal details. All of the second order came first despite stating in the first online order to serve whenever the food was cooked. One of our orders didn't arrive for 90 mins until we had to remind them 3 times. Masala Dosa - wasn't a traditional masala Dosa. It was rather a Ghee Dosa with masala inide it. Sambar had no flavour and was thick like porridge. The Coconut chutney was just a namesake watery thing, which didn't taste like coconut. Mysore Masala Dosa - served the wrong Dosa, promptly replaced with the correct order. But the Dosa had no flavour or salt. Same gooey sambar and co in it chutney. Pander masala Dosa - took 90 minutes and 3 reminders to receive, but was again bland with not much flavour. The pre-teen was no longer hungry by the time the order arrived. Veg Noodles - this was a fusion confusion. The noodles was a bit dry with very little sauce and again no flavour to the dish or salt. The vegetables were visible in the dish but somehow were tasteless. TQuite oddly the noodles was made with butter which overpowered the flavours and wasnt thr best fusion noodles ive had. Also lacked flavours apart from butter. Paneer Pakoras - apparently this was good, the kids loved it. PS - I'm native south indian and has tasted traditional south indian dishes in 100's of Indian restaurants. And this will definitely be in the bottom of the list in Australia. Would I visit again - no. Wild I recommend to anyone - no. Although this restaurant is slightly better priced than the adjacent restaurant, the food requires more life.

The waitress was lovely and tried her best to make our dining experience great, however if you're hungry don't come here, you'll wait forever for food, which wasn't great, and be eating your entree when everyone else on your table is eating their main meal! Our fried rice and serve of rice was totally forgotten by the chefs and didn't even receive it at all, I'm guessing the chefs couldn't be bothered cooking it! So we didn't pay for it and got $14 off our meal. Don't expect to get your 30% discount either if you book online using the fork, because apparently this was the previous owners deal and wouldn't honour this discount. Won't be back here again.

Very friendly staff. Food was very delicious. I had a wonderful time with all my friends. I Highly recommend to visit here. Chef is easy going and can adjust food according to your choice. We enjoyed our drink with variety of drink options.
