Since my favorite Indian restaurant of all time has closed down (RIP Star of India), I have to find a suitable replacement. Tandoor is pretty good but my only problem is the price. It’s just about $20 for any entree you order and then they come in the smallest containers. So, for instance, the chicken tikka masala was $20 and there was probably less than 10 cubes of chicken in the container. Same goes for the palak paneer so it costs a lot of money for one person to eat, let alone two or more unless they have a lunch buffet like star used to.

Found this place watching A Julia Robert’s film, After the hunt, on Amazon prime and so glad I went. Best Indian food since I’ve left London. Great location, great portions, reasonable price and courteous owners.

Their buffet is pretty good. I went late so some item was a little hard to eat like naan and chicken lollipop.But,other than that their paneer tikka masala was top notch and goat/lamb curry was also pretty nice to eat. For 17 something dollars its a win. I would recommend people to go early though. you will get fresh food and can enjoy every item. Also host seemed nice and there was one other lady she was also really nice.

I lived in New Haven my whole life and never tried Tandoor until I saw “After The Hunt.” This place is absolutely amazing. Easily my new favorite Indian food in the city. Get an Old Monk and the Butter chicken and some naan and you’ll be in Heaven. I’m glad the movie brought some attention to such a wonderful local spot

Pro: great flavors
Con: unexpected items in food/drink
I ordered off the menu due to the mixed reviews of the buffet. I loved the flavors of the chicken, rice and vegetables. The naan I picked with the spices and fennel was also tasty. I was satisfied with the meal until I found a few long hairs in my Raita sauce. There was also a bug in my Lassi drink, but my waitress was able to give me a new one.
Enjoyed the flavors just wish the hairs and bug were not present.

I have used this restaurant for catering two business meetings in Hamden. I remember first using them in 2024 at a meeting for 10. It was my first time ever tasting butter chicken & naan. It was delicious. I had another meeting recently for 50 and wanted authentic food, generous portions on a limited budget as I work for a nonprofit company. I contacted the owners and gave them our order which was comprised of butter chicken (oh yeah), plain white rice, naan, katchumber salad (which came with a mint dressing that was very spicy ️ but so good), paneer tikki masala (vegetarian dish) and gulab jamun (my first time trying this dessert which I would describe as a very syrupy donut hole). It tasted delicious but should come with a sweetness overload warning. So if you are diabetic or do not like sweetness, then this dessert is not for you. However this group enjoyed it.
All the food was fabulous. Everyone was raving about it. Even those folks who did not know what butter chicken was, tried it and sopped the sauce with the naan. They even went back for seconds.
As the person who organizes meals/catering for our meetings, I worry about portion size and hope that everyone likes the meal and that I can also stick to my limited budget. I did not have to worry with Tandoor Cuisine. The owners were in contact with me every step of the way and made sure that this was an enjoyable experience. They were very friendly and professional.
I recommend them and will use them again.

If I could give this place more stars I would. This restaurant has amazing customer service. Everyone was super friendly and greeted my family as soon as we entered the building. They constantly checked up to make sure we were at full potential satisfaction. The food….AMAZING if I could eat here everyday I would. Although every single item I have tried has been to die for my go to is: mango lassi, samosa balls, tika kabab masala, and finally the homemade naan<3 10/10 recommendation for authentic Indian comfort food.

As soon as we walked into Tandoor the owner greeted us with a smile and although very busy he arranged a table for 7 in minutes.
We had already made our choices from their online menu so as soon as he came back to us we were ready to order. Forgive me for not remembering all the names of the dishes I will edit later but I will say that everyone had something different and every dish upon asking was quoted as fresh and delicious.
The owner sat down with us and talked about Tandoor which he started 25 years ago in a former diner. He made sure everyone was happy with their entrees as well.
Lastly when he found out it was my brother’s birthday he treated all of us to dessert.
Again I will add the names of the dishes later.
I highly recommend Tandoor.

I ordered lamb curry, it came out quick and was delicious. The owner is very hard working and honest, when I asked if the food is halal they showed me their restaurant depot receipts to confirm that only the lamb was halal.
