We eat here frequently and love the food. It’s quality, and the prices are reasonable. The lunch special hits the spot when I’d like to have a relaxing, sit down meal without spending a ton.
Personally, I haven’t had any bad experiences with service. If anything I interpret a shyness of sorts. Definitely nothing deserving of a poor review. I’ve noticed more attention to service recently too, so alls on the up & up if you’re weighing some of the bad reviews here. If you like Indian food, try it out!
Thanks for dinner!

Tried their aloo, gobhi and methi paranthas, veg korma, raita and salad. Honestly, a lot left to improve in terms of flavor and cooking. The paranthas were just glorified naans, the filling being bland and the bread undercooked. The methi parantha is made with the dried spice methi, not actual methi leaves. It was extremely disappointing.
The veg korma was supposed to be spicy, but it was rather a combination of sweet and bland. I will add that the korma definitely was made with fragrant spices, but if someone orders food to be made spicy, it’s a disappointment when it comes out bland. The good part of my order was raita and salad, for which I’ve added two stars.

I’ve ordered from Tandoori Hut on multiple occasions and they NEVER disappoint! Butter Chicken and some cheese naan are my go to whenever I’m craving some Indian food and I would recommend this place without a doubt. It doesn’t matter whether you go in person or order it from ubereats/doordash, etc, the quality is always great. I wish they would put a little more cheese in the cheese naan but overall solid choice to scratch that food itch!

Attached photo is there kadai paneer and over cooked chicken 65 – so you can figure out how their rest of food will be.

Mixed experience at this restaurant. The food was okay, but the service at the cashier was not welcoming — the cashier girl seemed unfriendly and unprofessional, which created a poor first impression. I hope the customer service can improve, because the place has potential.

Yes — the food was tasty. But that’s the only thing this place has going for it. Everything else was an absolute disaster, and frankly, I left feeling taken advantage of.
From the moment we walked in on our first visit, the service was appalling. The server greeted us like we were an inconvenience, plopped us down, then vanished — no water (despite the blazing heat), no menus, nothing until we had to ask. When water did arrive, it came in flimsy plastic cups that belong in a cheap fast-food joint, not a sit-down restaurant. Food came out with no serving utensils, forcing us to scoop from large shared bowls with our own eating cutlery. And all the while, the server was glued to her earpiece instead of actually doing her job. We were the only customers there — there was zero excuse for this level of neglect.
To top it off, I later discovered a gratuity had been sneakily added to our bill without a single word about it. No mention during the meal, no disclosure at payment — nothing.
On my second visit, I made the mistake of giving them another chance. The new server was miles better — but guess what? Same shady tipping trick. Gratuity quietly added again, never mentioned, and she let me add another tip on top. Only after checking my receipt at home did I realize I’d tipped twice. Whether that’s deliberate or just incompetence, it’s unacceptable — and it feels like a scam.
This place has zero transparency, zero respect for customers, and zero service etiquette. You can serve the best food in the world, but if your business practices are this underhanded, you don’t deserve repeat customers.
Tourists, stay away. Locals, you’ve been warned.

This place is very affordable and food are always fresh and consistently taste really good. Customer service are also a five star. It is located in one of the most busiest street in Hillcrest so it’s a bit trade off being they are affordable but you have to spend the money in parking your car.

Ordered Malai Kofta, mushroom masala, and Manchurian Gobi, with Indian Tea all of which are my Indian vegetarian favorites. Mushroom Masala was the best. Malai Kofta was way too salty, definitely need to be eaten with lots of rice. Manchurian Gobi was more sour and sweet than any others I have had. Tea was unsweetened and the service was good.

One of the better Indian food places that’s not charging crazy money, but as many have pointed out the daughter of the owners is usually disgruntled and rude when you come in and order. Don’t expect exceptional service , just know the food will be good. That is all.
