Greeted with a smile. Waiter was pleasant. Was not impressed with the food. Bland flavors. Portions were fine. Left full but like I said, not impressed.

A nice location in the Old Port; they have all of the standard fare you would want in an Indian restaurant. It is always fresh and tasty and the service is excellent. We get take out once or twice a month as well.

I was in Portland for four months, years back and I happened to stumble in on the Tandoor. I was hooked. I worked in the Old Port so I was able to come back and eat lunch just about every day. I sampled all the meat entrees on the luch menu and never was disapointed. The meals are very affordable... More

Better than ever! My family has eaten countless times at Tandoor. Its convenient location – right in the heart of the Old Port district – and blessedly tv-free dining room and cosy ambiance have always been good enough reasons to drop in. Besides which, we all love Indian Food. But our latest meal there was a delightful surprise! The menu... More

Small restaurant, great dishes. Stellar customer service. I highly recommend the lamb vindaloo and coconut soup! The mango lassi is delicious! Perfect for first dates!

I hadn't been to Tandoor in several years. I remembered it as good but not good enough to make a special trip. We had dinner here at the end of a long trip and were tired and want ing to get home. We ordered the Thali dinners ( veg and not). They were both excellent, spicy and flavorful. Other than... More

Excellent selection, curries, tikka, real tandoor cooking. Naan baked in tandoor, so fresh, hot and that great grill flavor. Fresh chutneys on table- mint/cilantro, red pepper, and a sweet tamarind sauce. The chicken tikka was very flavorful, the Mahi Ba aab, medium spicy was fantastic. Hotter than I expected, but mighty tasty. Good service. The music was a tad loud,... More

The curries, the breads, the appetizers (particularly the onion bajhi), the desserts, the tea . . . I always love this place - and it smells so good, too!
