Le Tandoor focuses on traditional North Indian culinary techniques, emphasizing the use of high-heat clay ovens for protein preparation. The menu features a robust selection of marinated meats and vegetables infused with complex spice blends, such as garam masala, cumin, and coriander. Diners encounter staples like charred tandoori chicken, creamy butter chicken, and diverse vegetarian curries served alongside leavened naan bread. Each dish highlights distinct layers of flavor and aromatic intensity characteristic of regional Indian cooking methods. The establishment maintains a standard service model centered on authentic preparations, ensuring that traditional heat levels and seasoning profiles are preserved for every guest. Consistency remains a core priority, as the kitchen balances savory gravies with the smoky char provided by the signature tandoor ovens to deliver a comprehensive representation of Indian culinary traditions.
Le Tandoor generally receives high praise for its authentic, flavourful, and generous portions of Indian cuisine, with many diners highlighting the rich, balanced spices and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is frequently described as cozy and welcoming, making it a reliable destination for a comforting meal. While the majority of guests report exceptional service and satisfaction with their dishes, some recent feedback points to inconsistent quality, occasional issues with order accuracy or food freshness, and rising prices. Despite these isolated concerns, many patrons consider it a standout establishment on the South Shore and appreciate the diverse menu options, including gluten-free choices and thoughtful packaging for delivery.
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.

Très belle découverte surprenante. Nous avions envie de manger indien un dimanche midi. La devanture semblait fermée. Décor intérieure sobre. Nous étions seuls. Service impeccable même si le serveur ne semblait pas trop comprendre le français. Niveau fustatif, DÉLICIEUX! La soupe mulligatawny, à tomber par terre!
Les plats étaient copieux & le pain naan à l'ail, MIAM.
Nous y retournerons car la qualité & le prix étaient tout simplement bons.
Le Tandoora's Shish Kebab is cooked to perfection! Juicy, tender, & seasoned just right, it makes for a delightful & satisfying dish. Paired with the garlic naan, it's a heavenly experience.
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.
Petit resto sans fla fla. J'ai pris le poulet au beurre qui n'était pas très épicé, mais plutôt bon. Le pain naan aussi. On ne peut pas dire que le service était bon, une seule personne pour s'occuper de la salle à manger & des commandes en ligne. & malheureusement, c'était bien difficile, voire impossible, de se faire servir en français.
I ordered veg samosas, papadum, naan, eggplant & daal tarka. Everything was super delicious! My only tiniest feedback was the papadum were just a tiny bit overcooked. We will definitely go back again!
We happened to be staying at an airbnb across the street & decided to stop in one evening for dinner. We aren't from the area so we weren't sure what to expect, but this was easily the best Indian food we have ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection & the flavors were out of this world. We adored the garlic Naan! It was thinner than any we have had in the past & it really added to how delicious it was. Paired with a lychee martini? The meal was out of this world. We just wish they delivered to NYC!
