Le Tandoor receives strong praise for authentic Indian flavors, tasty, well presented dishes, and generous portions across a range of items like butter chicken, tandoori chicken, lamb curry, biryani, naan, pav bhaji, chana kulcha, samosa chaat, and dal makhni, with many calling it a standout or a top contender in the Montreal area. Takeout is noted for sustainable packaging and drinks packed in sealed cups to keep orders intact during delivery. Service is described as attentive and friendly in a family run setting, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere with soft lighting and tasteful decor. Ambience and quality are repeatedly highlighted as reasons to return, and several diners consider it a reliable go to for Indian cuisine at good value with lots of flavors that feel homemade. A minority of reviews mention inconsistent experiences, citing bland or dry meat in some dishes and issues with naan or spice levels, though those comments appear outweighed by positive impressions. Overall, Le Tandoor is viewed as delicious and comforting, with frequent recommendations to try it and to plan repeat visits, and a sense that it has evolved into one of the area’s notable Indian dining spots.
Maybe the worst indian restaurant south shore. The biryani was the worst with some orange color. Butter chicken had no flavour & all the meat were dry. Only the samousas were ok. Stay away
I've ordered here a couple times, I love it. The food is quite delicious. It is expensive though. However, the last time I ordered butter chicken, one of the chicken pieces had gone bad & I had to throw it out & the naan had these odd ashy grey bits stuck to it. They tasted weird. I don't get what those were & if it was bc they hadn't cleaned wtv the naan was cooked on?? & sometimes I find that the naan is burnt too.
Exceptional food & service! The butter chicken & palak paneer were cooked to perfection, with rich & authentic flavors. The staff were friendly & attentive. Highly recommend for authentic Indian cuisine.
Overall the food is okay! Since the new owners, everything changed. We can't bring our own wine anymore. Service : you can see that the waiter is not really used in greeting customers, he will not clean the entrees plates when he'll come to bring the main plates, he would come 2-3 times to ask if everything okay. I also had the thali butter chicken & there was 3 chicken cubes so portions wise it was pretty low.
We walked to the restaurant from the REM station (an easy & pleasant walk) & had the most wonderful lunch experience. The lovely young owner was so kind, friendly, professional & accommodating, & the food was absolutely delicious. We had the very reasonably priced lunchtime butter chicken special, which comes with naan & onion bhaji. The owner even offered to sub out my husband's bhaji for samosas, as he had his heart set on samosas. Everything was perfect & we could not have been happier with our lunch. We can't wait to go back & try some of the many other dishes offered on the extensive menu. So impressed! A must-visit.
I ordered the samosa chat, chicken tikka masala, tandoori roti & rice for delivery.
The samosa chat was nice, however the chicken tikka masala & the roti were average. Unfortunately the chicken tikka was very bland with a water sauce & not much taste. Also I am not sure if the restaurant forgot or the driver, but I had also ordered a can & it was not in the bag or it was forgotten by the driver. Overall I will not be ordering from there again & try somewhere else.

When we're in the mood for Indian this is the place we go back to over & over. Small little restaurant with great service but most importantly great food. The vindaloo & butter chicken is our 2 top dishes. Amazing!!
