My husband and I went to Taste of Tandoor last night and enjoyed everything from the quality of the food to the service of the waitstaff. The atmosphere was really nice. The waiters were dressed in white shirts, black pants, and bow ties. For an added touch on this Saturday night, they had a pianist playing music. Our waiter was... More

We've eaten here for years. Good "white tablecloth" type place. Sometimes service can be slow, but the food is good. I'm not an expert on Indian cuisine, but friends of mine who have traveled there say it is the real deal. I love the butter chicken, and they will turn up the heat to make it like legit Indian food... More

My friend and I went to Taste of Tandoor and were pretty upfront that we had never had Indian food before. The staff took time to go over the menu with us, made recommendations and served up some truly delicious fare while teaching us a bit about Indian cuisine as well!

Was pleasantly surprised by the food taste, service and price. Recommend if not looking for the fanciest Indian restaurant.

While the service and cleanliness of Taste of Tandoor is average, the food isn't even close to true Indian food. You'll find very "Americanized" Indian fare here.

My family has been dining at this Woodbridge staple for years and the quality of the food and level of cleanliness and service has been consistently above other dining options in the area. My two fickle, teenage daughter's actually look forward to dining at Taste of Tandoor! The proprietor always makes his rounds to enquire about ones level of satisfaction... More

While the buffet does not have very many options, all of them are solid choices. This is my go-to place when I want something out-of-the-ordinary, but not something that will break the bank. I haven't had anything I haven't liked here yet. Try the tandoori chicken and the potatoes and you won't be disappointed.

Overall, for about $10, the buffet here is better than the one at the other Indian food restaurant in Woodbridge. Not to mention the atmosphere and cleanliness here is way better than the other place. I was out running errands before an appointment and knew from experience I could get in and out of Taste of Tandoor in an hour... More
