Tandoor Bocado was an absolute delight. I dined solo and began with the butterfish sashimi, which was incredibly fresh and melted in your mouth. The different elements added to accent the sashimi were perfectly balanced and elevated the dish without overpowering the fish — a flawless appetizer.
For my main course, I ordered the lemongrass pork noodles. The noodles were cooked perfectly, with great texture, and the pork was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned without being overpowering. Everything felt balanced and thoughtfully prepared.
The apple dessert (I wish I remembered the name) was divine and the perfect way to end the meal.
What truly elevated the experience was the service. My server, Taylor, was as perfect as they come — cheerful, welcoming, and genuinely excited to explain the menu and share the history behind the chef. Their enthusiasm added so much to the evening.
I also had the pleasure of meeting the chef, who took a moment to personally say hello and thank me for coming in. That level of warmth and care speaks volumes.
This restaurant is a true diamond in the rough and will absolutely become a regular place for me to enjoy a fabulous meal and wonderful ambiance.

Very friendly staff. Trevor was my server, said they taste all the food to make recommendations. He was accurate in describing my choices and directing me to the best choices for my tastes last night. He said the menu changes every 8 or so weeks, so come back and taste more delicious foods. I came alone and usually I get ignored, not here! Thank you Trevor.

What an amazing experience!
From the warm atmosphere to the delicious food, everything was just right. We arrived around 8:30, and there was no rush at all—such a relaxing dining experience. Our server, Drew, was wonderful—so knowledgeable about wine and incredibly pleasant, which made the evening even better. The restaurant’s décor and colors add so much charm, and the food? Absolutely finger-licking good! This is a must-visit spot if you’re ever in Rapid City, South Dakota.

We’ve been here before and we were really excited to take some friends to experience what I’ve described as my favorite place to grab a bite in Rapid.
The food is definitely elevated, and I’ll be happy to see the kitchen at Tandoor Bocado continue to be recognized. However, the service put a bit of a sour mark on most recent visit.
We arrived late afternoon, and were informed that most of the lunch menu had sold out — which is a fantastic problem to have. Our server helped us figure out what was still available to order and the food that we did order was great as it was before.
However the candor and professionalism of our service left much to be desired. We saw our server pour herself a beer and after our initial interactions, was rude to our party.
The strangest interaction was when she accused our friend of not signing the check, although there was an honest mistake made in the credit card slip he had grabbed. The attitude and way with which that was addressed just made for a very very peculiar interaction that I can only chalk up to fatigue from a sell-out day or something else going on.
I hope that others have a better interaction with the service as the food is phenomenal.

Delicious food, and impressive selection of courses from many origins. I wish the portion to cost ratio was a little more, but other than that, wonderful. The server was amazing, clearly a foodie. Knew about all of the courses in great detail.

Without a doubt our favorite place for date night! We have never had a bad experience. The food is adventures, delicious and beautifully presented! Atmosphere is relaxing and clean. I love the open kitchen, you can smell all the wonderfulness the chefs are whippin’ up! Can’t wait for another date night!

Really great surprise in downtown Rapid. We decided last-minute to try to grab dinner here one evening recently and were lucky to grab a couple spots at the bar.
We had such a great dinner here and will definitely be back. Great drink options including a decent N/A selection. Outstanding service from the minute we walked in despite the fact that we didn’t have a reservation.
The menu is an interesting mix of options and there’s nothing else like it in town. Both of our meals were outstanding, creative, and fun. They also had great appetizer options including seasonal roasted beet hummus which we tried and really enjoyed.
Do yourself a favor and check out this great new downtown spot. So glad Rapid is finally getting a little more food diversity.

I’ve had probably 15 meals here, and they’re always so good! Jarred is constantly coming up with exciting new dishes and interesting flavors, always a treat trying his newest ideas. The Lomo Saltado, various ramens, the chicken wings, and French onion Naan have been some personal favorites.
Order any kind of naan dish they have with mushrooms and a cream/butter sauce. You won’t regret it.
Service has been consistently excellent. Tehya and Taylor always go the extra mile to make us feel at home.

Our friends recommended this restaurant and we met them there last night. We had a lovely dining experience from start to finish. We had reservations and we were seated immediately. The staff was very accommodating as we had one of our party in a wheelchair. Trevor was our waiter and he was especially efficient and pleasant. Our food arrived in a very timely fashion. Our beverages were just right and our water glasses were refilled often. The ambience was very conducive for conversation. The Food was excellent. We started with an appetizer and it was delicious. It was a shrimp bacon dip with pepper jelly served with naan bread. Trevor even replenished our bread so we could get every drop of the dip. I had the brussels sprouts and the vegetable medley. It was a feast for the Eyes and the pallet. The variety of beers available was quite extensive. I had a glass of Prosecco that was just perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
