Tandoor

So good! My favourite is the fish tikka. The naan is made to perfection. The saffron basmati rice is so fluffy and soft, cooked perfectly. Best authentic Indian restaurant in Singapore. Kudos to staff Sasi too who was attentive even when busy. Unfortunately I recall years ago they used to serve after-dinner mints / herbs / rock sugar but they no longer do so.

Best lamb Briyani in Singapore though price on the high site, a must try dish. Good service and atmosphere. Dessert too sweet to complete.

The tikka fish is the best among the dishes today. Garlic naan is great with mango curry. The mutton in the briyani is so tender. Khulfi ice cream is flavorful, too. Eatigo's discount makes it all worth it.

We are really impressed by the Hyderabad special set we had , which allowed us to try more than 10 of their signature North Indian cuisine for just $65/pax. The interior was spacious and luxurious and it’s an award-winning restaurant with multiple awards. The set includes different appetisers, main dishes and desserts, so you can try them in one seating. They prepared everything freshly from scratch to maintain the premium quality of their dishes . If you haven’t tried premium North Indian food, you should definitely give Tandoor a try! This Hyderabad special set is available till the end of November. Last but not least, I’m very pleased with the warm hospitality of their staff, Sasi who patiently explained each dish and despite us staying past their opening hours, he did not rush us and even told us to take our time to enjoy our food. Thank you for making this culinary experience an unforgettable one , since it’s our first time having North Indian food of this premium standard.

Love the crab curry with garlic naan... Good food & great service from the team. Will come back for sure.

Didn't expect it to be fine dining style. Service was good, just that short-handed and Nitin was the only one handling menu orders / recommendations as well as bill payment. So we waited more than 20mins for our bill, while in a hurry to our next appointment. The decor, light traffic during Sat dinner and ethnic music beats made me feel like I was enjoying some respite in an art exhibition. Overall food was really good, although pricey (especially if without Eatigo discount). They do not serve complimmetary table water, so your options for plain water are the pricey Perrier equivalent. We had a lot of our own bottled plain water so we opted not to order any drinks. We had Bhune tamatar ki chaamp $26++ (half portion 2pcs), Saufiyanu gosh ku briyani $44++, Lachha paratha $12++. Their papadum is special and is served with spicy mint dip and mango ginger dip. Only the mutton in briyani was a little underwhelming, being a little too dry and bland. Their Bhune tamatar ki chaamp (lamp chops marinated in smoked tomato and other stuff) was particularly tasty. Total bill came to $49.15 after 50% discount. If we had not already had some pastries before this meal, the portion would not have been sufficient for bigger eaters.

It’s very nice restaurant, food is nice. We were served by Balbeer. Balbeer is very nice lady. She is very joyful and brings smile to face. It is must try restaurant for any special occasion.

Had a good time, lovely food and service. We ordered the set menu, which is indeed well crafted... but a bit heavy for one person. Food is great in taste & presentation which is what you expect at a fine dining restaurant.

Beautiful restaurant! Wonderful attentive service! Food is excellent! My favorite Indian restaurant! Everything is delicious! Dined here for many years! Always perfect!

Every part of our meal was delicious. Appetizers were on the smaller side, which let you order more and still have room for the hearty and flavorful curries. The desserts were perfect.

We went here over twenty years ago, when it was one of the better Indian restaurants in Singapore. How times have changed! The food is still pretty good - the crab masala is delicious, other dishes less unique but above average. However, although there were only 3 occupied tables when we were there, the (extremely polite) service staff were remarkably absent. The décor is dated, and the restaurant is located in a dreary basement of a fairly depressing hotel. At the high price they charge, one would be spoiled for choice in Singapore (Rang Mahal, Song of India, Punjab Grill, Yantra, etc).

Decently good North Indian fine dining in an ornately decorated interior with very attentive service to match. Ended up here for dinner and I was rather impressed mostly with the decor and good service. Most of the dishes are decent, ranging from a few interesting dishes such as the paneer tikka starters to the standards like palak paneer (spinach) and gosht biryani (mutton). In particular, the assorted tandoori/tikka items are good, especially the fish. They used escolar, a fish that has a buttery rich flavour that gets nicely charred on the outside when grilled. (But limit your portions as this fish causes digestive distress due to a high wax ester content) You can see the chefs at work behind the glass, sticking the food into the tandoor. For some reason, the rasmalai (cottage cheese dessert) wasn't that great, it tasted weird and was rather dry when it arrived. All said and done, I found that a meal here is exceptionally pricey. Sticker shock set in after seeing the final total. (I fell off my chair when I counted 3 digits in front of the decimal point) Similar or better Indian food could be had elsewhere in Singapore for much much less. Perhaps the Sunday buffets are more affordable. Unless you have cash to spare, you can do better wandering over to Serangoon Road where a plethora of indian food choices await...

Pretty decent Indian food - especially the Naan. We had the usual suspects - tandoori chicken, spinach and cottage cheese, grilled shrimps, chic peas & curry etc BUT... We (6 of us) had spice intolerance (aka diarrhea) the next day (different degrees of it but 1 common factor. we had dinner together the previous night). I am not sure which dish was the culprit or maybe a combination of them. I am hesitant to blame the restaurant and call it food poisoning because it belong to a reputable hotel. However, I am very shocked that this happened to us because my family has had other Indian food at hawker centres/ food court/ kopitiams before and we were ok (being Singaporeans, we do consume a fair portion of Indian food so I am not sure why this happened). Anyways, this spice intolerance did put a damper on my overall experience. Definitely do beware, definitely not for weak to normal stomachs. For the taste, I think we can definitely find a better place without incurring the unsavory consequences of the aftermath...

This place is a little out of the way being in the basement of the Holiday Inn. The fact that it has been around for 28 years says a lot for the quality and service. The bad news is they are closing soon. The good news is that they will be re-opening after some remodeling work is completed. Which is great because I intend to be first in line. We took the special menu and each dish had great flavour. Add in great service and you have all the ingredients of a regular haunt.

If you are looking for a place for Indian fine dining, rejoice in the fact that Tandoor Restaurant is back in the game following its recent face-lift (read about my previous review here). Not only has the decor been given a modern and classy revamp, the menu at Tandoor Restaurant, Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre, has also been made more refined and delicate while retaining its traditional roots. I was even more impressed with their story telling concept as the waiters took us through the interesting history of each dish. S and I were invited to sample the Dinner Gourmet Set ($68). If you're not up for the full course, there is a smaller course at $48. Vegetarian options are also available. We started with the Samosa Chaat, a light puff pastry shell stuffed with potatoes and chickpeas and topped with sweet yogurt and tamarind chutney. I love the creaminess and contrasting flavors of the dressing and was amazed at how light the puff was. Next, a platter of kebabs. My favorite was the Paneer Chupa Rustom, a potato croquette stuffed with spinach and cottage cheese. It's like a kinder surprise! The minced lean mutton kebab was very flavorful and soft, perfect if you were a toothless Indian king (no kidding, that's how the dish came about). On to the mains which were served with saffron rice or Naans. The Mango Curry was too addictive, a unique ripe mango curry from the Mangalore region of India. The other dish that i could not stop eating was the Murg Dum A Dum, chicken curry. Best mopped up with the garlic naan. We ended dinner with a trio of desserts. From the left, the sweetened carrot dessert Gajar Halwa which had the quality of a nutty rice pudding; a Bailey's Kulfi ice cream, and a Rose and Elaichi Panna Cotta. I have to say that Tandoor Restaurant really impressed us with its new direction. I enjoyed the food a lot better than i did the first time.

Food was average for the price they charge. Service was really pathetic and we had to ask the manager to serve us properly multiple times for multiple things. I would not recommend going.

This place was our go-to Indian restaurant as it was near our previous office. Both the food and service were great. I went back two weekends ago and brought my friends from out of town as they wanted good Indian food. Everything was doing well and I was enjoying my butter chicken until a small cockroach crawled onto my plate. I called the attention of a manager (he was wearing a suit versus a shirt like the other servers) --- and he just swiped away the cockroach -- I had to signal to please remove the plate. So he removed the plate of food then replaced with a new plate, spoon and fork. He apologized but I was surprised that it didn't seem to be a very big deal for them. One server asked me if I didn't like the food because my plate was clean and when I said that I was eating and a cockroach crawled onto my plate, he laughed. I was so shocked with the reaction. They didn't even offer to move us to another table nor to replace the food that was already on the table. We all basically lost our appetite. They gave a 20% discount but if a cockroach can crawl onto a plate by the main dining area, I can't imagine what's crawling inside the kitchen hidden from all the guests.

Always consistent, satisfying Indian tandoor and more It's one of the longest-serving Indian restaurants (I understand that the owners of this particular hotel are Indian) since 1985, and you can bet they know what they are doing. The tandoor items come out succulent and singed to perfection, with the marinade well penetrated into the meat/vegetable. The lobster is a bit pricey, but go for anything else including chicken, mushrooms or prawn, and you'll be just as satisfied. The chefs work in a glass-fronted open kitchen, so you can see your dishes being prepared. A Sunday buffet is perenially popular, and helps ease first-timers into the various dishes available. The well-dressed waiters are mainly male, and pretty charming/chatty as they work - a mark of confidence. The setting includes a fountain in the middle of the seating area and lovely detailing of an Indian palace. There are plenty of choices of booth seats but we recommend the 2 tables in front of the tandoor kitchen - truly fascinating to watch the chefs at work.

A solid 3. Good flavors. The fish in the fish curry was over cooked. The tandoor chicken was a bit dry.

If you want to try Indian cuisine and enjoy a nice ambiance, Tandoor is a good place to visit. The service was very nice. They have a good mix of fixed menu's and a la carte. I went for the Non Veg Set Menu (~70++) and it was more than filling with a good mix of starters (incl Tandoori Chicken), 4 main course dishes - like the butter chicken and paneer.

Tandoor has awesome decor and a great ambiance. However we felt a little bit hustled by the waiter. The food here is very expensive and does not seem commensurate with the quality that high-priced food comes with. The jaljeera was worth the s$10 we paid for it.
