Never disappointed with this place - outstanding food with large variety and spice levels for all tastes - authentic and high quality. Our go-to for Indian food in the Peterborough and surrounding area!
April 2025
My wife and I always love checking out new Indian food restaurants for our date nights. Imperial Tandoor was incredible! The service, food, and atmosphere were fantastic. The portions were super generous - we had so much we had to take some to go for a midnight snack! Will absolutely be returning to try more of their extensive menu.
February 2025
I had ordered chicken dum Biryani through Uber eats and I didn’t feel the food was up to the mark. So I called them. They were very understanding. They replaced my food immediately and got it delivered to my place. The new Biryani was tasty as always.
