We had a significant wait here, but the staff were friendly. The pros were the atmosphere, friendly staff, and heating. The food was good, but I felt the chai tea was a bit unspectacular. The chickpea bread (don’t remember the name) was delicious. It’s worth a stop, but there are other places I prefer.

Tandoor Oven is a true neighborhood secret on the Upper East Side. The ambience is wonderfully quaint and intimate.
The food is exceptional. The chicken tikka masala is perfectly spiced with tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken. I’ve also tried the eggplant dish, which is very spicy but has incredible, complex flavors that make it worth the spice.
What really sets this place apart is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and remarkably fast, even during busy times. Outstanding food, welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service—Tandoor Oven is an excellent choice.

Stopped by for a late lunch for two and it was perfect. The lamb vindaloo had a nice spicy kick to it with the meat so tinder along side with yummy garlic naan and onion stuffed naan.

I normally ordered the food via Uber Eats, but just so happened to be around. I walked in the atmosphere was delightful. The food was delicious. I definitely will recommend and be back.

Go to this restaurant. It is absolutely amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who is even vaguely hungry. Go in, grab a seat, and get ready to have some of the best Indian food in your entire life. This food is to die for, the service is more than excellent and better than some restaurants at even double the price point. Food is on point Every. Single. Time.

Tandoor Oven serves up quality Indian food, with a calming atmosphere and incredible service. The samosas were perfectly crispy and flavorful, a great app to start with. The Chicken Sula Tikka was tender and well seasoned. I’d recommend it. Do not skip the Mango Lassi! This sweet, yogurty drink complemented the meal so nicely and was pure bliss. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Yellow Daal Tadka paired nicely with the naan — they make a cheese naan, with Gruyère cheese baked into it. It’s a nice twist to naan that’s worth trying. The garlic naan was great as always. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and recommend it for lovers of Indian cuisine! Takeout options available.

I got takeaway from this place and ordered the chicken tikka masala, samosa, naan with zaatar and Gruyère cheese… oh my goodness IT’S AMAZING!!! I’m always trying to find a good Indian take out and hate taking risks to be disappointed. I was certainly not with Tandoor Oven. The chicken tikka is fresh and succulent, not rubbery, and feels like good quality meat and ingredients. It’s spiced to perfection, I don’t like when it’s too creamy, but the ratio of cream to curry is on point and the flavor is just perfect. It’s exactly what you’re looking for when you’re craving chicken tikka masala. I’ve been eating Indian food all my life and I have to say this place is top 5 for me at least. I’m so impressed and can’t wait to try more of their food! If you’re contemplating where to order on the upper east side, look no further.
