Tandoori Palace

I’m back again at the Tandoori Place — principally because it is close to my hotel and I know what to expect — so went with a new dish; smokey eggplant masala with the pilieu rice and of course a peshawari naan
The dish was very different to what I had expected — a generous serve of eggplant cooked well in mild spices but just a tad too oily. Not that feature slowed me down — I was hungry and it was getting late. Eggplant has its own texture and it was nice to have something different to standard vegetable medley.
At the end of the day this is solid fare served simply and honestly. The peshawari naan is to my mind a sweet and a weekday indulgence — time for a stroll and then hit the treadmill to atone.

Comfortable and quiet restaurant, located stones throw from many clubs across the road.
The food is very tasty I tried the butter chicken
(I know what you’re thinking — hardly Indian!) but I’ve eaten here before and had other dishes and they are equally as good!
Nice touch at the end with a complimentary glass of port.

Worst. Experience. Ever. Received such poor service as they told me my food was going to be delivered in 40 – 60 minutes. I called them after an hour and a half and they said that the delivery guy had just left. Half an hour later I called back and complained that the food still hadn’t arrived and it had been not only two hours, but an hour after thir estimated delivery time. They were unapologetic and merely made up excuses over and over again and when I said that I shouldn’t at least have to pay the devilry charge he rebuttled with more excuses. I finally got my food… and it was cold. Cheers for that Tandoori Palace.

I’ve been a real fan of the foods of India or at least I was until I ate at Tandoori Palace. It’s certainly a good looking place. Matter of fact, I say it’s real good looking, has nice colors, sort of upscale in appearance with decent uncrowded seating space. It’s also clean in appearance and the wait staff, though somewhat average in competence, aren’t all that bad.
The food I had here, however, just didn’t cut it for me. I went for their «Lamb Josh» which was to be a classic lamb curry dish traditionally prepared in medium hot aromatic spice sauce along with tomato. Unfortunately, to my taste, it turned out to be singular in flavor, being of a flat out curry having very little if any depth of anything else that hinted of aromatic. The lamb seemed to be more mutton than lamb as even when cooked had an intense meat redness, near harsh in flavor and the cuts contained an inordinate amount of fats and grizzle. From its texture alone I would guess the lamb must have been over age three when slaughtered.
Another matter is that Tandoori also does a takeout business which might be fine if want take out, but if you’re dining there the takeout customers coming and going can be a bit annoying.

Food is good, good ambience good service. The portion size of curries could have been bigger.

Brilliant Indian, food was fresh and tasty, service was brilliant. Definitely would visit again
Tip: corkage for BYO wine was $ 3.50 per person

Decent Indian conveniently located on Oxford Street. They do the basics well enough, and luckily for my friends and I are also open quite late. The food didn’t blow me away, but for Sydney Indian it was quite good — I probably wouldn’t recommend it myself for an evening out, but neither would I object to returning.
As an extra tip — apparently they do karaōke downstairs as well. I leave it to the reader to decide if this adds value, or detracts!

Indian food and karaōke is an interesting mix (for me anyway) and that’s what is on offer at The Tandoori Palace on Oxford Street. (They actually call it curry-​oke!)
Actually upstairs in the street level dining area, you’ll avoid all karaōke and you can enjoy some old school Indian faves. If you’re after some karaōke to accompany your meal then book a table downstairs for a group and let the fun (for lack of a better word) begin.
To be honest I’m not the biggest fan of karaōke but I headed over here with a group from work. We ordered the banquet which was nice and quite filling and you can get some stuff which is a bit different from the norm. We had a table downstairs with karaōke playing through out the night which let’s just say, wasn’t as fulfilling as the meal itself. That’s not fault of The Tandoori Palace though but more the people I was with!
It’s worth heading over for some great Indian food but if you decide on curry-​oke choose your friends wisely!

I loooove Indian food, yum. Admittedly I tend to sway more towards the South Indian thali and dosai but a really good aromatic North Indian curry can be one of the most divine taste sensations… Tandoori Palace is several cuts above the greasy spoon North Indian Diners peppered along the other side of Oxford St, with delicate, authentic curries with a modern twist, lovely staff and service and nary a bain-​marie to be seen.
My friend and I shared a few veg dishes, rice and a couple of nice glasses of red. Everything was top notch, and if you join their email list they give you a free meal on your birthday! Bless…
FYI they have a karaōke room here, which I’ve yet to visit but something sounds so right about curry with karaōke.
