We had ordered chaat papdi which was just rubbish with hard papdi & no curd & tandoori chicken ordered was non spicy but you delivered full spicy & an old bird not satisfied sorry very big name but no results
We were there on Saturday for lunch. Excellent food! Not overly spicy, fresh & delicious. We ordered seekh kebab, bihari kebab, Malai chicken kebab, naan, salad & tea - all very good. Excellent service too. Nice decor, spacious. We'll be back soon, for sure.
Food was good, representative of the South Asian cuisine. A bit too pricey for the value & the atmosphere & décor, etc.
We particularly enjoyed the Chicken Malai Boti & Lamb Masala.
The staff were really helpful & accommodating. We made recommendations about a couple of things with the staff, hopefully they'd take note & we'd visit again when in town next time!
Hi..We are regular customer in this restaurant.. we visit most of the time. But we ordered Fish twice its very hard like chicken Dont ordered fish not good anymore or May be sheff change !!
Tandoor Grill offers a vibrant & satisfying dive into authentic Indian cuisine, delivering bold flavors & warm hospitality in a relaxed yet stylish setting. Whether you're a longtime fan of Indian food or just dipping your toes into the world of curries & tandoori dishes, this place hits the mark.
The menu is well-curated, with traditional favorites like butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, & vegetable biryani, alongside regional specialties that showcase the depth of Indian culinary tradition. The star of the show, unsurprisingly, is their namesake tandoor - dishes like tandoori chicken & garlic naan come out perfectly charred, smoky, & full of flavor. Their spice levels are customizable, so whether you prefer mild or fiery, you're in good hands.
Portions are generous, presentation is thoughtful, & the service is attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance is inviting, with warm lighting, Indian-inspired décor, & a playlist that adds a subtle cultural touch without being too loud.
The only downside? It can get busy during peak hours, so reservations are recommended - but that's just a testament to its popularity.
Overall, Tandoor Grill is a must-visit for lovers of Indian food. Whether you're grabbing a casual dinner or celebrating something special, it delivers on taste, comfort, & value.

I ordered kadayi chicken & it was too spicy that i couldn't continue eating.. I complained to the server about it. Another guest was also having some issue. I went there quite. A times because of good taste of food but this time i was really disappointed by the food.
The tandoor plates were outstanding. Smoky & hot from the tandoor oven, they were delicious. Had the chicken kebab & the malai soya plate (can't remember the proper name) & thoroughly enjoyed them both. The cartelized onions that covered the bottom of the cast iron grill pan added a terrific additional layer of taste. The naan were thin & crispy in the middle, light & fluffy around the edges -exactly how I like them. Navia our server was delightful & on top of things, despite a very large party she was attending to as well. Would definitely go back
The option to get whole chicken curry was unique & very awesome. Every food here tastes great. Service is very nice & staff is very friendly. They also offer banquet hall for events & their service was great in it.
I got a chance to have dinner with my friends at this wonderful restaurant. We ordered Mixed Platter, Malai Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, Nihari, Lamb Biryani & different types of desserts. Every dish we tasted was of high quality & super taste. Mixed platter & Malai chicken tikka were wooow👌🏻 so delicious that remaining items seemed average. May be with the delicacy of tikka & platter, nihari & biryani didnt seem to be at the similar levels but at the end we were satisfied & filled with magical tastes. Waiting for my next visit.
chicken pakoray: Liked the flavor & portion size. Would recommend trying. Lamb chops: were flavorful & tender. Portion size was good as well. Mutton Karahi: was okayish. It was actually more of Indian style than Pakistani style karahi. I like Pakistani style more. Also portion size was surprisingly small. Only for two people. Also would recommend trying the lemon soda. I'd prolly visit again to try different items from the menu.
The best place for eating starters. Yes, if you are looking to satisfy your hunger for exotic indian flavours then go to this place & treat yourself with a plate of tandoori chicken & delicious tandoori soya chaap . Best indian starters I have ever had in montreal . If you are dining in then try resham kebab as well. They are very delicious when served hot . Avoid going there in busy hours as when the restaurant is full, the hall becomes very noisy & chaotic. I think they need to work on sound proofing the walls .
Bought a chicken & beef kebab roll. I asked for spicy but it was bland. It wasn't the best in town, but definitely worth a try! Just hope they can elevate their flavors more :)

Tandoori chicken, resham kebab & Chicken Biryani were really tasty whereas malai chaap & malai tikka are not good. They add a lot of cheese to it which makes it bland. Need to work on that.
Otherwise really good food.
Food was very tasty. If you want to taste north Indian food in Montreal specially tandoor items this is the place you should definitely visit. We have ordered tandori chicken,butter naan & chicken chilli masala. All the items were very good. & the restaurant is very spacious.Overall liked it
The food is so tasty. We had the buffet which for me personally was not expensive as we had chicken & even lamb to enjoy. The nan was soft & yummy. Definitely a place to try if you love Indian food
I went to the restaurant with my family (3 adults, 2 kids) for lunch on a Saturday. We were seated quite quickly which was great. Unfortunately that was the only part of the service that was good. The restaurant was pretty empty, maybe 2 other tables had people. It took the server at least 15 minutes to take our order. The food came fairly quickly & was good but after serving the appetizers no one came around for at least another 40 minutes to check in, replenish the water, ask us if we needed anything although the restaurant was not busy at all & you could easily see 3-4 employees talking & looking at their phones. Finally we called someone over, asked for more water & put in our order for our meals. The servers were horrible at cleaning the table, they didn't pick up the plates, they were serving our meals while the empty appetizer plates were still on the table & there was no room. We ourselves put all the plates together, piled them up like we were at home. The food was so over spiced & over salted, the only one dish that was good was the butter chicken. Again, no one came around to check if we needed anything etc. Dessert was a negative experience as well as not only did it take so long to order but they didn't have 3 of the options available. Unfortunately, I won't be going to the restaurant again. The servers need much better training & need to be more proactive, it ruined the whole eating out experience.
