Fantastic food! It was very fresh and flavorful. We could tell it was just made for us. We are on holidays all the way from Australia. We were so tired and late after a big day from Legoland, Thanks for accomodating us late night. Yummy food.

Wow. Every dish amazing good prices. Nice staff. This is my go to now. They make things fresh for you and it’s totally worth it.

Ordered the Korma Chicken and it was very salty. Did not have fresh natural flavors from onion, garlic, spices, etc.Service was not friendly. I asked about portion size and cashier was insistent 2 dinners were necessary for me and and me teenage son. It was way too much food. We couldn’t finish the 1 dinner order. Will have to throw a whole dinner away because we did not enjoy the flavors.We were the only ones eating at 4pm.

Came in for dinner because I really had cravings for curry chicken. I was very disappointed. Same dish they serve for lunch but much worse quality and several dollars more for what supposed to be the same thing. I really have a problem with restaurants that do that charge more money for the same item that's on their dinner menu then they they do at lunch. It all might have been okay if the chicken wasn't old and dry and tough with really poor cuts with tendons and cartilage included. And for dinner they gave me less non as well as told me they would give me more lentil soup because I don't care for the yogurt cucumber stuff. But they did not they gave me the same small portion of dal/ lentil soup. If I ever go back it will only be for lunch. Too bad because I really do like Indian food it's a little overpriced for what you get.

Vegetarian options: Yes they do have vegetarian options.

Parking: It's easy and there's always plenty of parking but OMG you might have to walk 20 ft

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is but the bathrooms are just as dirty as so many Indian restaurants are why is that?

I ordered a dinner combo: chicken Tikka Masala, rice, and naan. The Masala had like 5 small pieces of chicken, for $18 dollars its over priced to me. Wouldn't recommend.

This place is really slow. They say 20 minutes but they mean at least 40, if not more. This place is way too busy for the small amount of kitchen staff they have.

If you are considering going to KC Tandoor, consider being in the bathroom for the rest of the day. ? Food and service was substandard. I ordered the chicken burrito and it was terrible and slopped together with a whole bunch of spinach and saag. I gave a tip and I didn’t even get any napkins with my food.

Raised prices a lot, no more soda refills, and the food was a little bland. This was not the case several years back - note to owner: don’t cut corners for profit; folks aren’t stupid.

Service was good and quick. Unfortunately, the food lacked the flavor I was hoping for. We ordered the samosa chaat, uttapam and butter chicken.

Hadn't been here in a while- walked in and noticed the place was pretty empty and everything looked different. I placed my order and found out that the owners had changed. While waiting for my food, I saw all the recent bad reviews online. I went to use the restroom. When I opened the door, I got hit with a foul smell and as soon as I turned on the lights, saw cockroaches scatter to hide. That made me loose my lunch- If the bathroom was that filthy with roaches, who knows what the kitchen and food prep was like behind the scenes- I wasn’t about to eat roach vindaloo. I walked out to the McDonald's across the lot without even bothering to ask for a refund. Never coming back- what a shame this was my favorite Indian restaurant for years.

Nearly $5 for a $1.49 beverage you get at the grocery store. Imagine the profit this place makes off you. the clerk then gave me the wrong change and I had to do the math for him while the people in the back peaked to see what was happening. That’s bad mannerism to do that and have the customer do the math for them. I mean call it a Karen move but this is beyond Karen if someone can’t even count US DOLLARS.

I am so mad at myself for not taking a cooking class offered by the last owner ? She made the *best* tikki masala we've had. It's not that the new management's version is bad, but the original KC's never left an oily residue like the new one does-- it was creamy, the sauce was thicker, the flavor/spice was made to perfection. The new KC's is ok, but not anything special. I guess it depends based on previous reviews and the tikki masalas you've had in the past. The old KC's recipe was extraordinary.. also, the dal tastes nothing like it used to, and was way too salty. I'm sad and disappointed :(
