House Of Tandoor - Newton

This restaurant is located below ground level with narrow stairs, which may be difficult for some to access. It is situated on a charming narrow street across from a train station with various shops. The dining room is spacious and well-lit, and the staff is friendly and attentive. They offer a lunch buffet option for $14.95 with 4 vegetarian items and 1 vegan option. Ordering off the menu allows for a greater selection of vegan choices. Indian cuisine is always my go-to while traveling, especially as a vegetarian for over 30 years. This restaurant provided higher quality food and better service compared to similar places I have tried in the Boston area.

I highly recommend this restaurant for their quality of service and delicious curries. The staff paid close attention to our needs and recommended dishes when we were unsure what to order from their extensive menu. The downstairs seating area is spacious, with a small outdoor dining area as well. The goat curry was perfectly cooked, with tender meat and a non-greasy curry. The chicken curry had well-cooked chicken and the right balance of spices. I appreciated having chapatis as an option for bread, which is not common in many Indian restaurants. The restaurant has a homely feel. The only downside was that I wasn't a big fan of their momos, as they lacked flavor.

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, but it turned out to be a wonderful surprise! The dining room is clean, well-organized, and nicely decorated. We ordered the Butter Chicken with basmati rice, an appetizer of Tandoori chicken, and two orders of garlic Naan bread. Everything was incredibly delicious; the butter sauce was very flavorful, the chicken was excellent, the rice was fluffy, and the Naan was so good that we had to order more. The staff was very polite. This is definitely a place worth returning to!

I was looking for a place to eat around 8:30 pm and not a whole lot stays open past 8/9pm in the Greater Boston area. Luckily, House of Tandoor was open. It was serendipitous, really. The staff is very attentive. The lamb curry and chicken tiki masala were some of the best we've ever had. It reminded me of my childhood friends mother who used to cook Indian food for us all the time. The only slightly disappointing dish was the meat samosa. It was filled with ground lamb and was a tad bit dry, but still very flavorful. The naan was wonderful. the Desserts were perfect end of the meal treats. I am looking forward to going again.

Great food and excellent service! The food was warm, fresh, and flavorful. Beautiful decor inside as well. We got the vegetarian dinner for two, which is an amazing deal two entrees, soup, samosas, naan, and tea. They let you choose mild, medium, or spicy for the entrees. Best Indian food restaurant I have been to in a long time can't wait to go back!
