Stopped in for brunch “all you can eat”. The food was tasty, a bit mild and cool. Limited selection, but still tasty. Server was attentive and the price was reasonable.
Ordered on Door Dash while staying at a hotel for work. $50 for naan, samosas, and chicken korma, and they forgot the cutlery. Then, I got food poisoning, puking it all up at 4am.

Absolutely amazing Butter chicken! My friends and I had the same. Portions were just perfect, we all took some home. Highly recommend this place to anyone who authentic Indian food. Can't wait to go back and try something else when we visit Victoria. We also noticed a ton of take out orders while we were there. Let me know when you open a restaurant on the mainland.Very friendly place, and they aim to please. I wish I could give them 10 ⭐️

I ordered on Saturday via skip the dishes.The food took 2 hours to arrive and when it did it was cold.I was not send the 6 pack of beer I ordered at a $30 value. I called sizzling tandoor and they indeed confirmed it wasn’t sent. Skip the dishes wouldn’t refund me and now it’s too late to get a refund and sizzling tandoori took no responsibility and told me to deal with skip the dishes. No one wants to accept responsibility for the refund of the six pack I ordered. Absolutely appalled at the service and apathy here from both.

The restaurant predominantly caters to a non-Indian clientele, potentially diluting the authenticity of the Indian flavors to accommodate a broader palate.

Compared to the indian food in Lower Mainland seems mediocre, and the portions are small considering the cost.

Was very impressed with the environment and food here. Everything was delicious - really liked the samosas, naan and wow my lamb biryani was amazing! Bonus points… it was a very large generous portion (no complaints as I get tasty leftovers to eat). Service was friendly and food came out in good time but a few drink orders were forgotten. Would come back again.
Vegetarian options: The food was not too good or bad but really over priced.

This was the worst food I have ever had. The sweets were served cold and the naan was so chewy. Still they cost us 20 dollars per person. It is too overpriced and just a waste of money. WORST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN MY

I had a lovely first experience at Sizzling Tandoor. When I came in with my bubble tea, I wasn't aware that I couldn't have it with me. The gentleman kindly informed me and also offered to keep it in the fridge until I leave. The service was wonderful. I also admired the interior. The lighting was very cozy and the lights themselves have a very unique design that I appreciate. The food itself was amazing as well. The portion was quite generous. I thank everyone working for being so warm to my mother and I. And thank you for being understanding when I left without my bubble tea and came back minutes later to retrieve it, haha. I hope to eat at Sizzling Tandoor again soon!

The magical Muskan was my server here at the Sizzling Tandoor, a gem of a restaurant. Old world furnishings and light fixtures, with transcendant food.I started with a mango lassi and the Gobi Manchurian, lightly fried cauliflower tossed in a slightly spicy Indo-Chinese curry. The second course was Shahi Paneer, with cashews and fluffy mallows of paneer bathed in a perfectly spiced (medium) butter sauce, with basmati rice and naan flecked with minced garlic and basil. I had a tamarind shrub and mint mocktail to round out the meal, finishing with Gulab Jamun, fried donuts for dessert. I’ve never been a fan of this dish because it’s usually served cold and soggy, but this was an entirely different experience. The donuts were still crispy and warm, softened by rosewater nectar of the gods, flecked with edible flowers.I entered the restaurant in a bit of a funk, but the team and the food at Sizzling Tandoor nursed me back to life. I encourage you to take your time here and trust you will have as incredible an experience as I did.
