The restaurant’s ambiance was quite pleasant, offering a welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food completely failed to match the promising setting. The dishes were laden with an excessive amount of artificial food color, which was very unappealing. In fact, the taste was so poor and the quality so disappointing that we left most of our food on the plates. While the setting is lovely, we cannot recommend dining here based on our experience.

The food here is awesome and we are loyal take out customers!! It’s honestly some of the best Indian food in the area. The prices are on higher side and the take out dinner portions are on the smaller side, but it’s so darn good we will be back again and again! 🙂

A couple people from my office ordered take out from here and we have since been repeat customers! The lunch specials are great. Be warned that the spicy is very spicy, even the people that love spicy were sweating a few bites in. The man at the counter was very friendly and explained what all the sauces were. Would recommend.

I’ve always enjoyed Indian food, but this restaurant made me LOVE Indian food. It’s the best Indian food I’ve had to date. Now my husband and I have a craving to come back every week!

Ordered delivery – Do yourself a favor and order their tandoori garlic roti. It is the best roti I’ve had anywhere and personally, it’s better than garlic naan. It is cooked so fragrant and the garlic flavor is so delicious. I paired it with their palak paneer and I loved it so much. Their food is amazing and I want to come back and try more dishes!!

Delicious Indian food at a small neighborhood strip mall. We have ordered online for takeout as well as dining in. The lunch specials are available every day and include sides of lentils, vegetables, salad, rice and choice of bread – naan or roti. For our entrees, we ordered chicken korma, chicken Tikka masala, and Lamb roganjosh. We also ordered two orders of papadam as appetizer. We were waited on by Dinesh who was very hospitable and attentive.

First time ever trying this place, and I WILL absolutely be back!!! Everything was amazing, perfectly cooked the chicken so tender and the vegetable korma was filled with veggies. Found my new regular takeout place!

Delivery was quick with Uber Eats. Had lamb biryani which was really good and the portion size was generous. The lamb chunks were plentiful and juicy. I picked the spicy option in the app, but feel personally it was only 3 out of 5 on the heat scale. The reason for only 4 stars was the vegetable samosa. I know it’s just personal preferences, but I like mine with a lot of spices and peas. These were only lightly seasoned and mostly just tasted like plain potatoes. I am sure there are many others who prefer it that way, just not me.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Tandoori Mela in Basking Ridge! The food was bursting with authentic flavors — every dish was perfectly seasoned, fresh, and beautifully presented. The tandoori items were especially outstanding: juicy, smoky, and cooked to perfection.
The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The service was quick without feeling rushed, and the atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant — perfect for both family dining and casual evenings out.
It’s rare to find a place that balances quality, taste, and hospitality so well, but Tandoori Mela delivers on all counts. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine in the area.
Dinesh was awesome!!!!!
