Food was good and taste fresh. Service is great. We were seated immediately. I like the ambiance of the restaurant. Although we can hear conversations of neighbor diners and can be quite loud. One comment i have is the chicken chunks in the Tiikka masala is cut too large and the inside is a little on the dry side. Sauce is rich but good. Good portion size for the price. Prices of food were fine. Overall recommended!

This was my first Restaurant Week experience, and Tandoor absolutely set the bar high. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance and staff were incredibly welcoming. The food portions were huge—we happily took plenty home! One of the highlights was the chef coming out personally to serve us and share the origins of his family recipes. It truly felt like eating at a friend’s house, but with an upscale touch.
The Dubai chocolate cake and falooda were insanely rich and indulgent—such a perfect way to end the meal. You can really feel the care and pride behind everything they do here. I highly recommend this family-owned restaurant and will definitely be back. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Went here for a date a few night ago and it blew me away. The atmosphere was so much more intimate and classy than the online photos imply. On top of a superb environment, every single member of the staff I encountered was charming, genuine, and kind. They assisted me with the menu and hosted real smiles and conversation when prompted. That alone is enough to return for, however, the food itself was outstanding. The portions are large but not intimidating and they do NOT sacrifice taste in achieving a full plate. Every dish we had was rich in flavor and diverse in texture. Nothing over powered anything.
It was a wonderful evening at a beautiful restaurant anyone would be lucky to try.

We had a great experience at Tandoor Char House. The food was flavorful, well-prepared, and arrived hot and fresh. Every dish we tried was delicious, from the perfectly seasoned meats to the rich, comforting curries. The service was attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere made it a really enjoyable place to dine. Overall, a wonderful experience and a spot we’ll absolutely be returning to.

Had Iftar here this Ramadan. Absolutely wonderful service from the staff. We were personally looked after by Chef Faraaz. We tried a range of dishes including the steak, beef nihari, masala ceviche and chargrilled chicken, however the lamb chops stole the show. Outstanding

Amazing food and an even better experience. This family-owned spot truly cares about both the quality of their food and their guests, and it really shows. Everything we tried was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We came during Restaurant Week and were so impressed. This is place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend, and definitely don’t sleep on them!

Came here for restaurant week and was delighted by the way the chef personally came to the table, shared his family recipes and we got to enjoy a lot of lovely food. The tandoor chicken was delicious and I loved the sweet tamarind sauce as well.

The worst food ever – uncooked and stale. We ordered the following from Uber Eats:
1. Tandoori chicken boti (bland, but edible)
2. Chicken tikka masala (no spices, no flavor, just plain orange sauce curry – chicken was raw/uncooked). There was a hole in the lid to let off the heat, but it actually resulted in a lot of spillage. There are other better ways of packing hot food vs punching holes in the lid!
3. Chapathi – all uncooked
4. Lamb Biryani – rice was uncooked and smelly as if they were not washed prior to cooking. Lamb also was uncooked.
This was an Uber Eats order, so it became a nightmare to get the money back. When I contacted the restaurant and spoke with Faraz, the Chef, and he simply refused to acknowledge the issue. He was adamant that he checks and tastes each and every item, but that doesn’t seem to be case.
The photos on the Uber Eats app and elsewhere are all misleading – food looks attractive, but what you see is NOT what you get. Not sure how this restaurant has managed to get such high ratings/reviews.
RESPONSE TO CHEF FARAZ’S COMMENT:
1. Using any of the food delivery services like Uber Eats doesn’t alter the quality of the food – rice doesn’t go from being cooked to uncooked. Likewise, it’s not that chapathi left your restaurant cooked and at the time of delivery by Uber Eats, it became uncooked! So putting the blame on Uber Eats doesn’t help here.
2. I’ve seen your response to other reviews and you have apologized for the bad experience some folks have had – I don’t see any apology here. Even when I had called you to discuss the food quality after it was delivered by Uber Eats, you were just super aggressive on the phone. And don’t forget that you had even agreed to contact Uber Eats to assist with getting the full refund and I again had called you the 2nd time to let you know that Uber Eats had agreed to refunding the cost of one item, so I decided to leave it at that.
3. And these are not exaggerated claims nor do I have any personal differences with you nor do I know you personally! So stating that I’ve made exaggerated claims doesn’t help. Again, this entire matter could have been handled in a very different way without losing a customer. Focus on improving the quality, and sometimes, it’s how you handle a negative review the positive way, creates a big difference and goes a long way!

We had Biryani here, and we loved it. The portion was big enough for two people. The price is also so reasonable for the food, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service.

Great restaurant located in Lincoln Park with amazing food. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection with the right amount of spice. The naan bread and grilled chicken dish was really tasty. We also enjoyed the tamarind chicken wings which had a nice balance of sweet to spice. Definitely recommend this place.
