Came to dine and the food and service was amazing. Order fish curry and it was the best Indian curry I’ve eaten yet. The chefs come to check up on you and are very attentive. Highly recommend.
The Tandoor is a cosy little gem tucked away on the popular strip of commercial road. Been my first time to an Indian restaurant I did not know what to expect, so I left the ordering to my friends who ended up ordering a range of dishes on the menu.... The food came out and instantly I could smell those strong spicy aromas, we dished up and wow the food was delicious, rich, flavoursome and down right delicious. You can tell that the chef is passionate about his food after the first bite...The Tandoor has opened my eyes to indian food which is now one of my favourite cusines.... Overall highly recommend the Tandoor 👌
Best Indian ever!. It's safe to say... I love all kinds of food but this Indian is the best I've tasted. We dined here with a group of 10 people last Tuesday for my boyfriends birthday. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was just spectacular. So much flavour! A few crowd favs: a spinach entree dish (amazing..sounds weird but ask for this...you won't be dissapointed), butter chicken was so delicious, chicken tikka was so tender and omg the Naan. The list goes on and on ! Very reasonable prices given we had a table full food and left overs. I never leave reviews so this one def caught my attention!. Can't wait to go back with my friends. Highly recommended!!
Great restaurant and fantastic service. Had a few drinks with friends and the meal was amazing. Has a great combination of flavor and spice. Highly recommend
Nice Indian food, the restaurant is a bit outdated but as the food was really nice I don’t care about the rest. The naan, chicken tikka and eggplant were great.
Give it a try!
My partner and I ate here tonight, and very much enjoyed our meal! We started with the samosas (no picture) and they were delicious. Pastry was crispy and tasty, and the filling was really yummy, too. Then we ordered the butter chicken and the chicken madras. We also ordered the paratha bread, the keema kulcha and Palau rice. Everything was so delicious!! The service was great, as well. We will definitely be coming back!
Nice chicken tikka n dal tadka. Service is tad slow but am not complaining thanks to the lovely tikka masala. If I am in Melbourne again, i wouldn't mind a second round.

Legend has it that Elton John insists on eating here whenever he is in town and it is easy to understand why.
Formerly situated on Chapel St, The Tandoor was once a thriving, very highly rated restaurant, but misfortune in the shape of a greedy landlord struck and an alternate leasehold required. This is where The Tandoor - erstwhile culinary disrupter on the precipice of greatness - fell back into suburbia, and, for all intents and purposes, became just another Indian eatery in a shopping strip.
But it is more than that. Much more.
The food at The Tandoor falls into the elite category of subcontinental offerings available here in Melbourne. Its chicken tikka is simply sublime, so too the butter chicken, allu mutter, paneer mutter and the naan. Sure, the fit-out is tired and the ambience less "trendy" than many of its competitive threats, but the eating is what sees this establishment remain at the top of the food chain.
Attend this restaurant if you want a no-nonsense delight. Who knows, you may run into Sir Elton!
Can't understand the bad reviews. This is the best tasting Indian food in Melbourne. Always worth the wait. When ordering from other places and i'm always dissapointed. This is the best and why I've been ordering takeaways from these guys for years.
At last I found an Indian restaurant nearby which serves good Roti- tandoori, fresh, wheat flour and soft. Really tasty mutter paneer, fresh cottage cheese and curry. The service was also quick. Also tried the samosa, not bad at all, although the mint chutney was sweet for my Indian taste buds. If you like good Indian food, a myst try place.. The only thing they can improve is to serve with a smile.
That. Was. Amazing!!
I didn't realise I lived so close to an Indian restaurant which has such a fine touch when it comes to preparing food with incredibly distinct flavours. Such a beautiful atmosphere. The service was amazing and the friendly banter between the staff and us made us feel very welcomed.
Will definitely be returning.
Amazing food and very attentive staff. The owner made an effort to come out and chat to me and my partner and give us a history on their family business. He was so sweet and we had loads of laughs. It was a delightful dining experience, food was so good and service ensured that we will definitely go back.
Such warm and lovely staff. They really want to make everything great for you. The food was exquisite and very reasonably priced! High end restaurant that doesn’t break the budget! I can eat a lot but was very satisfied and full! Great service. Will definitely come again with family! Also a big thank you to the staff for a great meal and experience!
Best Indian ever!. It's safe to say... I love all kinds of food but this Indian is the best I've tasted. We dined here with a group of 10 people on a Tuesday night for my boyfriends birthday. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was just spectacular. So much flavour! A few crowd favs: a spinach entree dish (amazing..sounds weird but ask for this...you won't be dissapointed), butter chicken was right up there with the chicken tikka and omg the Naan! Very reasonable prices given we had a table full and left overs ! Highly recommended!
Food was really nice, perfectly cooked. Issue was how long the takeaway took to prepare when there was only one other table in the restaurant. Then a bit annoyed that rice didn't come with the curry - always does elsewhere but this was my first time here. Had to pay an extra $4 for the rice.
Hands down the BEST Indian I have had. The food was simply delicious, every dish was as good at the last. And the staff were so wonderful. Definitely my new FAV place to eat!
