Tandoori Kabab catered our daughter’s wedding (~100 guests) at the Hilton Christiana in Newark, DE recently and it was a blow out success. We worked with Maqbool Ahmed, the owner to come with a menu after an elaborate tasting session! The agreed menu had fourteen dishes with multiple appetizers, entrees, and two desserts. It was served in an open buffet style. It was a lunch reception and even though the caterer was 40 miles away the food was served perfectly on time and beautifully presented. They even accommodated our last minute request to add lamb chops (which were to die for!) to the mixed grill. The caterers staff coordinated perfectly with the hotel staff to keep the food refilled to match our guests’ dining pace. Special shout out to “Kaddu Halwa” (pumpkin dessert) and it was scraped down to the last bit by our guests. It was very authentic, matching what you will find in India and Pakistan. Everyone enjoyed the variety and couldn’t not stop talking about how delicious and fresh everything tasted. We even got to box some leftovers for future use! If you are looking for a full service caterer for a desi wedding in the NJ-PA-DE area, I strongly recommend Tandoori Kabab. You won’t be disappointed!

The food here was really good! Everything had a nice spice to it and was made well. The chicken tikka masala was well made and authentic. We also got the chicken Chapli and lamb kebab. Took some time to have our dishes ready and it’s more of a takeout place, so I don’t recommend dine in, but I will definitely be ordering take out from here again

On our takeout rotation for family dinner! We get a few orders of the tandoori chicken, 2 pieces per order and for only $11. It’s quite spicy, but really tasty with some yogurt/white sauce and salad

Do not let the weary facade deceive you, nor the modest strip mall walls that seem to whisper of age and anonymity. The humble surroundings melt away, replaced by a sensory landscape of spice and fire.
The Butter Chicken was a river of velvet, a rich, crimson tide that sings of cream and fenugreek. It is not merely a curry; it is a warm embrace in a bowl, exquisite and soulful.
The Tandoori Kabobs, these morsels bear the memory of the fire. Tender testaments to the clay oven, smoky char kissed edges yet tender within, spiced with the wisdom of generations.
The Naan, to speak of the bread is to speak of clouds tethered to the earth. Pillowy, warm, and blistered to perfection, it is the perfect vessel to carry the heavy riches of the curries to your lips.
The Samosas, however, were a quieter verse. Crisp and competent, they were enjoyable, yet they lacked the soaring heights of the entrees, a prelude that pleased, but did not dazzle.
But a shadow fell upon the meal. For a dish commanding such a princely sum, the insufficiency of ingrained, implicit basmati rice felt like a cold silence. To serve such rich, complex curries without their faithful grain companion is to paint a masterpiece and withhold the frame. The food is a triumph, but the value left a hollow space where the rice should have been.

Most of the food was decent.. the naan and samosa chat was outstanding. However for as many meals as we bought, no rice came with it??
I called back after picking up the order because I thought there had been a mistake but no- the man told me on the phone I had to purchase the rice separately.
I have NEVER heard of any place serving this type of food with no rice in the meal. That’s not a meal. With the size of portions vs. price and no rice, I probably won’t come back unless I’m really craving samosa chat.

Service is extremely bad. Very rude stuff. Food quality was good a few times I visited but now it’s not the same anymore.

We have been ordering appetizers from this place for last 7 years . But past few months food quality has been so poor !!!! The samosa for examples used to be crispy and tasty but now the size is going down (it has become mini samosa ) . Over cooked , over fried and doesn’t taste good … the chicken kabab has that raw smell too . Very disappointing !!!!!! I have posted few pictures of the samosa I got yesterday and you can see the shape and the color texture of the samosa . We have stopped getting the kebabs. They need to improve on their food quality !!!!!

Be warned if catering for events they were several hours late! There was very little communication after the deposit was sent for catering. I would recommend going somewhere else as we also were not delivered the full list of food items we paid for. Do not recommend!!!!

The food used to be fantastic here, but for awhile now, the quality of food has gone down drastically. Things are extra spicy or very oily. In some of the curry dishes, there is not much gravy, just the meat or vise versa. The prices have increased, yet the quality of food in taste and quantity has gone down very much. Very disappointed!

The food here is always amazing! Definitely one of my go-to spots. The Chicken Seekh Kebab is the best so juicy and flavorful — and the Haleem is just perfect every time. Never had a bad meal here!
