Cafe Tandoor

Indian

Tandoori cooking was introduced to India by the conquering Persians in the tenth century AD. After its arrival, tandoori cooking flourished in India with local Indian populations regionalizing it by using local spices. The tandoor oven is made from special clay and shaped like a huge, dome-shaped jar. The inside is covered with smooth clay and the outside walls are heavily insulated. Heated with charcoal, the temperature rises as high as 750 degrees Fahrenheit. The tandoor is used for baking bread and roasting meat. The bread is cooked directly on the upper walls of the oven. Seafood and meat cooked in the tandoor are first marinated then roasted, retaining their natural juices and flavors. Food at Cafe Tandoor is prepared to order, therefore, please give us thirty minutes to prepare your dinner. Ordering in the traditional Indian style consists of an a la carte system where guests are served several types of vegetables, rice, meat and breads. Each item is brought to the table in serving bowls, and guests prepare their own plates as they like. Because the portions are large enough to share, many different dishes may be sampled at one meal. Indian food makes great use of a wide variety of spices, some of which are listed on the last page of our menu. Our foods are mildly spiced. If you prefer hotter or milder spicing, please tell your server. You should taste your food before adding any salt or pepper.

Odered Tandorian Lamb Chops medium rare. They come on a sizzling plate and the heat (I assume) converted them to medium. Next tie I will order rare,

There’s one thing I always tell people about Tandoor Cafe and that is to try something that you’ve never had before. Everyone wants to order Chicken Tika Masala, butter chicken or chicken tandoori but the tastiest meals here are things like choosa dilbahar (if you like chicken) and saag gosht (if you like lamb)! The amazing seasoning in these dishes like nothing I’ve ever had. I cook a lot of different kinds of foods and I can’t figure out how to replicate these flavors so I throughly enjoy my dinners out here!

What a lovely authentic Indian cuisine experience! We enjoy the Manager/owner Chemuu-(hope that is correct spelling) he treats us like royalty and his service and quality in the kitchen is worth every visit. Every time I try new things but often end up getting something with Lamb or fish and every time they are fresh tasty and consistently cooked to perfection. I truly give them a standing ovation. Great to have them in the community, I hope and pray they have continued great success!

Excellent, as always! The "non-vegetarian platter" appetizer was great, with its selection of sauces and pickled onions. We both had curry dishes (my Rogan Josh was fab) and shared orders of saffron rice and garlic nan. Glad to see it on Restaurant.com, as it prompted us to visit again right away!
