Made it over to Broken Arrow today and went to Tandoori Guys for some Indian food.
Great food, nice homey atmosphere and really nice people.
Inside the place is fairly dimly lit, but in a cool kinda way. Walls are covered with vibrant prints and the dining room is spacious and roomy. Even at 12:15 or so I was seated immediately by a welcoming, congenial gentleman I assumed is the manager or owner.
First trip through the buffet line, saw me dishing up samples of Chicken Biryani, Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Karahi and Aloo BIndhi (a killer dish of potatoes, okra and tomatoes).
FIrst off, the plates are a tad on the small side... which is fine, just wanted to get that out there so when I you see the "for my THIRD TRIP", you don't judge.... much.
Everything on the first plate was awesome. The chicken Karahi was great, but kind of like crab legs... lots of work for little meat. Not sure how those are prepared, but the meat to bone ratio pretty small. Still, all was good.
Second trip, I hit the stuff I didn't get the first time, which included the beef meatballs (Kofta, I think they were called), a couple pieces of tandoori chicken, a few of the veg Bondas (little dumpling balls), a little more Biryani, and some of another rice dish with fried vegetables in it, which was outstanding.
Third trip (I warned you) was just for a little more Biryani and meatballs.
Overall, there wasn't a single thing I didn't like. Some more than others, but all was good.
The Biryani was an obvious favorite. The Tandoori chicken was still moist and tender, despite the buffet setting.
The meatballs were another favorite.... those things were like little meaty balls of crack, I couldn't get enough.
While I wouldn't consider the food overly spicy, I do think that someone with a mild palate might find it a little much. My nose was definitely active the entire meal, and my taste buds were dancing like crazy. The staff were out of this world friendly and the owner/manager kept my glass full at all times, which was appreciated.
The tab ran to just over $17 before a gratuity, which I consider more than reasonable for what I had and how much I enjoyed it.
While it's a fair bit off my beaten path, I expect to find myself in BA on Fridays for the conceivable future, so I plan on return trips often.
