Lovely restaurant and atmosphere, my friends and I always go during block lunch. Naan is fantastic, as well as some of the choice dishes. Would highly recommend!

Excellent service and the food was outstanding. The naan and the tandoori lamb dish was cooked well and full of flavor. Added a side of chutney and some yogurt and a paneer sag curry, and my fiancé and I were very satisfied. We’ll be back.

I had a drink — whose name I can’t remember, that had pomegranate flavoring — which was exotic-tasting, but too tiny to give me a good buzz before our food arrived. We split the onion kulcha naan, the chicken masala, and the chicken korma. The onion kulcha was very tasty. It had plenty of onion and flavor, and was crispy on the bottom, much unlike the microwaved naan we had at Kathmandu in Nederland. The korma was very delightful — buttery and flavorful, and it was the better out of the two entrees. The masala was pretty disappointing. It lacked flavor and depth. The service was satisfactory, and the ambiance was romantic.

Pretty good Indian food. Not as good as the Yak & Yeti. I got the chicken vindaloo and asked for hot but it wasn’t really very spicy. It did have good flavor and texture though, and made a good meal. I also got the garlic naan, which was a little overly buttered but still good. A good place to eat. I will probably return. Service was OK.

Not pretentious and all about flavor! We hear that this place was yummy and I’m so glad we finally gave it a try. The Dahl soup was a thing broth full of flavor. Drew enjoyed tandoori chicken and I had the apricot, coconut curry with lamb. Both were incredible but I liked mine best. Next time I would order the hot instead of medium as mine was very rich and could handle a bit more heat. Loved the rice which was seasoned with herbs. Service was quick without being pushy. Atmosphere was ‘authentic’. So basically you aren’t coming here for atmosphere as much as you want delicious food. We will be coming here again with the kid next time to see if she might like it too.

Great food and comfortable atmosphere. Take out is delicious and quality not compromised. Kid-friendly. The management is great about offering suggestions for the new diners.

This was my second visit to the restaurant. I like the interiors and the lighting. It’s dark and soothing. The food is not authentic but has been altered for the American tastebuds. It is still one of the good restaurants in town that I would visit when I want decent Indian food. We wanted a booth and they arranged one for us. That was good! My only concern was that for dinner, the portions were not enough! We ordered the chili paneer but we got the chili shrimp which seems to be an expensive mistake! But the paneer made its way eventually by the time we were almost done with dinner! So much for appetizer. Will update after my next visit hopefully they have these worked on.

Best Indian in Boulder in my opinion. Been a regular for years and they have been pretty consistent. The bar annex they opened next door is nice if you want a faster dining experience. The korma, saag, biriyani and tandoor grill dishes are great.

Great Indian food. I almost always get it takeout. I’m always amazed that the food is so good, so close to home. I usually get the vindaloo. It’s great. They don’t mess around if you ask for it ‘hot.’

I am absolutely an Indian food snob, but this is one of my 2 goto restaurants whenever I am in town. Their bottomless chai warms the soul and their vegetable masala has a magical touch, plus the service is good.

Very good Indian food, best in south Boulder. Takeout isn’t super speedy but it’s worth it. Their saag is great, so are veggie pakoras. Food runs on the spicy side. Medium is sometimes too hot for me.

Yummy! I love their lunch buffet. Affordable and delicious, with tons of vegetarian options. Endless pakora! That I can dip in saag, too! What more could I ask for? Getting hungry just thinking about it. Check out the lunch buffet, for sure.

My name is Marisa, and I am an Indian food addict. Whew, it feels good to get that off my chest. In all honesty, I could indulge in a good Indian lunch buffet and dine at an Indian restaurant for dinner every single day without tiring of the tantalizing, aromatic Eastern cuisine. When I discover a restaurant at which I would gladly partake in all these meals, I must share that discovery with the rest of the Indian food lovers in the world. Or, at least, in Colorado. Tandoori Grill was one of the last Indian restaurants in Boulder that I needed to check of my list. I finally made it there for dinner the other night and discovered what I was missing all this time. Their food selection contains something for everyone– whether you are paleo, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or someone who eats everything or hardly anything. I finally found my request for maximum spice honored– generally, waiters take one look at my pasty Americanness and assume that when I say«crank up the heat» I mean«mild at best.» My vegetable curry, however, packed a punch that lingered long after the server took my empty plate. The service is quick and the staff friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended, if you couldn’t tell.

After a quick search on Unilocal for the top affordable places to eat in Boulder, my wife and I wound up here at Tandoori Grill. The service was crazy fast but not in a way that we felt rushed. The food was possibly the best Indian I’ve ever had, and the Cheese Naan. That my friends needs it’s own review. The Cheese Naan… Dang. I «joked» about coming to Tandoori Grill again and ordering nothing but 4 servings of it with a side of the Korma Curry sauce. Cheesy carboliciousness! Mmmm. We most definitely will be back.

Really great food! In the past I’ve lived in Sunnyvale, CA which is where many silicon valley Indians settled, providing me with a great selection of restaurants. Tandoori Grill isn’t bad at all! Not the best indian I’ve had, but much better than the Mexican I’ve had in Boulder so far. Even with low representation, we seem to be doing ok with phở and Ethiopian food around here. Anyway, back on topic. I’m a particular fan of curry dishes and have been happy with what I’ve ordered here. By the way, I can’t remember if I’ve ordered«hot» yet, but my impression was that the spice scale isn’t too ridiculous and you probably won’t end up in the hospital if you order ‘hot’ — but you better mean it. The nann is good, I’ve had plain and the garlic — and unlike at least one other reviewer, it was hot and fresh. They do a good job at providing both eat-in and take-out service. Seems to be that they do a lot of take-out. One warning — pile on an appetizer, two entrees and some nann = a big bill. Right now it’s making my mouth water and my credit card melt in my pocket. :)

2012 review #263: I came here a few years ago and just didn’t think it was worth the hype. Figured I should give it one more shot before writing it off completely. Honestly I’ll probably never come back here so I don’t know if that makes it 3 stars or if it should be 2, but at the same time nothing was wrong really. Basically, all the sauces were bland; nothing was spicy or interesting, it was all just an even amount of bland. My first visit they gave me freshly made naan and I appreciated that. This time they brought 2 triangles of not freshly made naan that had been coated in butter to appear fresh, I guess? If you’re not going to make the naan fresh, just put it in on the buffet and keep it warm. Lunch costs around $ 10.50 with tax. When I was there, both visits, there were 8 options of food. It sounds diverse but this includes appetizers and entrees and vegetarian and meat items. So, not very diverse after all and it seems to change a lot so some days will be a lot different than others. For less money you can get much fresher food made with more care at other Indian restaurants in Boulder.
