Great music. Chef absolutely nailed chilli paneer and Gobi 65. There is no paneer biryani but I personally requested and they served it well.

I never leave reviews because nothing is that bad enough or vice versa. Tanjore proved me wrong. I ordered a hearty meal for visitors who had come out of town. I had boasted repeatedly about this place and its amazing food. To my dismay, when I ordered the food, I found human hair littered all throughout the food. One strand would be a mistake; more than two is negligence. My guests were disappointed and disgusted.

I shared my experience with the owner, and he promised to refund me for my whole meal. After chasing the refund for two months and being subjected to rude servers, he insists that he will only refund me for one dish, as if the hair was limited to that dish alone.

He goes on to call me desperate for demanding the full refund for the meal. The arrogance and disrespect shown are unbelievable.

I would not order from here again, and I don't advise you to either. Yours might not be strands of hair; it just might be a finger nail or a booger.

The choice is yours!

This was hands-down the worst biryani experience of my life. I ordered two boneless chicken biryanis (hot spice) expecting something remotely close to real biryani — instead, I got plain white rice mixed with what looked and tasted like frozen orange chicken from Panda Express. No flavor, no aroma, no spices, no authenticity. This wasn’t biryani — it was a lazy mess thrown together with zero care.

I called the restaurant to give honest feedback, and their response was shocking. The employee rudely said, “Yeah bro, we get complaints like this all the time, but that’s just how our biryani is.” If you know your food is bad and people constantly complain — why are you still serving it? Totally careless attitude. No apology, no concern, just a shrug and blame-shifting.

Avoid this place if you respect your tastebuds or your money. I wouldn’t feed this to anyone — let alone call it biryani. Absolute disappointment.

Had been there for the Bollywood night on Friday.
Missing lot of food options.
Washroom needs remodeling (As men’s & women’s washroom door opens everything is open to others Eye. Need some sort of obstacle ).
DJ was fantastic loved the music.
Need bar stools as after dancing need to sit at bar & drink.
Need more tables & chairs.( suggestion: can start Hookah too).
Overall the place is fun with friends or as couple too & would definitely visit next time too.

Great place for good beer and quick snacks ( their pakoras and chilly paneer is really good ) but I would not suggest going for curry and naan . Naan is supposed to be made fresh but they use a precooked market version which beats the purpose of going to the restaurant.

Everything was just okay for takeout. Biryani tasked like fried chicken in barely seasoned rice. Nothing close to what you’ll find in Chennai or home cooked. The mango lassi is overly sweet and the raita is water thin, the portions are small. Maybe it’s better as a dine-in/bar experience.

Chilli garlic paneer here is so so good 👌🏻👌🏻
The boy with curly hair provided us with very decent and friendly service too

We visited this place late at night as a group of six and were pleasantly surprised by the quick and efficient service. The food overall was enjoyable. We especially liked the Paneer Chili Garlic — it was flavorful and a hit with everyone at the table.

We also tried the biryani, which received mixed feedback. While some of us found it tasty, others felt it was just average. It wasn't bad by any means, but we've definitely had better biryani elsewhere.

All in all, it was a good dining experience and worth a visit!

Ordered from Uber Eats. Really enjoyed every dish. Gobi 65 was some of the best I’ve had, crispy like it should be. Delicious chilli paneer and Veg Chowmein. Malai Kofta, Steamed Momo, and Samosa was also very well made. I will definitely be ordering from here again!

Don't know why this place isn't better known.

First of all PJ (the manager) is literally the best. Super cool guy and runs the place so well.

On to the food - great, consistent, CHEAP, no frills Indian bar food. I mean everything is just well made and tasty. Masala papad, great. Chicken 65, great. Chili paneer, great. Ghee roast chicken, FANTASTIC. I mean solid, solid apps that I crave for. I can't complain about anything.

Drinks wise - everything is so well priced. I just get kingfisher or taj mahal, but the fact that I can eat and drink here to my hearts content without spending 75+ bucks is so nice!.

Highly recommended for a chill night with good food and cheap drinks.
