NOTE: This review is from my experience with Tandoor's concession stand at the Taste of Chicago on 09/07/2024. I had the loaded Chaat fries. They were ok. Basically curry chicken, cilantro, and onion. It was an unexpected offering. Mixing Indian and American food. It wasn't bad but it didn't have a taste that was very pleasant and memorable. I would suggest adding spices, as it tasted like there wasn't much. As for the service, great staff. Friendly and vibrant. The stand was nicely set up and large with plenty of cash registers and good marketing for the brand. I am willing to come and have a dine in experience in the future.

Thank you Sonia for being the sweetest and taking care of us! Everything was delicious and flavorful, the lamb tikka masala and mixed grill was fire ?. It is BYOB but there’s a shop only a 2 min walk down the street.
Food has no taste. Daal served was something else. It tasted sour not sure from going bad or the preparation . In any case was not tasty at all. Tandoori platter was under cooked no taste. Wraps were dry and served with wrong kind of bread. Not worth trying, unless they improve .

Poor Biryani, tasted tangy and tomato-based unlike any traditional Biryani. The Fries were ok-ok. The lassi wasn’t great as well, it was bit sour.

COME THROUGH CHICAGO INDIAN FOOD SCENE! Tandoor is a stop that should be on your list if you love Indian food.
The location on Halsted has select $5 appetizers, Mon - Wednesday and they include Samosas (2), Chaat fries or Pakoras, which are fritters that are deep fried to a golden brown. The samosas are huge! The vegetable Samosa was packed with so much flavor and the sauce that came for dipping made it even better! I’m used to getting samosas that have just a little bit of filling or have a crust that isn’t the most appetizing. These were the complete opposite!
If I have to suggest anything - it’s definitely the Murg Malai. It’s huge and can feed two people honestly. And the flavors? So tasty!!!! Everything is brought out sizzling! The veggies are fresh and the meat has been marinating for 24 hours before being cooked fresh. Those flavors are Poppin!
Stop by to try something off of their delicious menu and tell em that Bri from Planes and Plates sent you!

Wonderful food as usual. The spice levels are perfect for my tastes, and the menu has many options. Being BYOB it is also a good value. The friendly staff got one part of the order wrong but graciously and quickly rectified the situation.
Food was just okay overall. Masala fries were good. Empanadas shell was stale tasting and on the inside the cheese did not go well with the tandoori chicken. Tacos were overly saucy.
The mixed grill was great but I am not sure why the papadums are over cooked most of the time- I asked the waiter for some that were not burnt and I got a batch more burnt than the previous one. There was one server for 4 tables while I was there, poor guy- that also meant service was very slow. Again, food was overall great but the service is better when the chef/owner is present.

The host is amazing! Super knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant was recently renovated and the vibes are great. I had the ribeye steak and it was perfectly seasoned. My wife had the seekh kabob wrap, she said it's one of her favorites. We topped it off with the mango cheesecake dessert, absolutely delicious! I also always get the achar on the side, it adds a nice kick. All in all, great experience and we'll be back again soon.

Ordered a chicken wrap and received this. Pieces of chicken rolled in a dry thick naan with nothing else inside

Food was amazing, I ordered the chef's grill special and butter chicken... my kids absolutely loved it. It is hard to find a Pakistani/Indian restaurant that has “balanced” spices that is kid-friendly :) love it, and my kids definitely want to go again!
