I am a big fan of indian cuisine but Tandoor didnt impress me. the prices were ridiculous and the meal left me and my girlfriend still hungry (for 700 pesos i might add). Decor was nice and service was good but food was a let down. Much prefer Dawat on the other side of Polanco

Excellent service, open and bright dining room, very quiet corner I think food is below average. Naan is not made fresh. Looks like they by ready made Naans and warm them up. Excessive use of corn starch in all gravy, which is not normal for Indian food This place can be lot better if they have a real Indian chef;... More

Newly opened on a quiet corner of the Condesa neighborhood, half block from Parque México and Ecobicis. Impressive lounge downstairs for a drink or massala chai. More modern dining room upstairs (careful with the first half-step on dark stairway). One wing has Indian musicals on LED screen, with decent volume. Good food and sauces/curries, moderate portions. Main dishes about 120-170... More

Great food, great environment and great service! The food was excellent and trust me when I say I KNOW Pakistani food but this place was so great. The owner of the restaurant kept coming by every once in a while to make sure we were doing well and enjoying our meal and I must say the Mango Lassi was extraordinary!... More

Just went there last week by Mistake. We were actually walking to a different Indian Restaurant and didn't find it. We hopped in a Cab and ended up here at Tandoor. The ambiance is very indian and classy. After ordering some of their popular dishes we realized that the food was not great, just decent. We know amazing real Indian... More

Let's start with the facts....there are few Indian restaurants in Mexico. I've eaten in all of them that I know of, and I believe there are no Indian restaurants outside of D.F. By far, Tandoor is the best, and I've eaten there maybe 15 times. No, maybe the food is not that of a 5 star Indian restaurant, but it's... More

Thia place has by far, the best Indian food in all the city. It's very sad that the service is not only bad but rude and absent at the same time!

If you are traveling to taste authentic Indian-Pakistani food this is not the right place. But if you are an Indian/Pakistani and are dying to taste country food after a long time, you can try this.
