Tandoori Times 2 Indian Bistro

We went there after a long time and boy was I shocked. We ordered methi chicken and mutton special of the day, the food came out within 5 min but the gravy was cold!!! Although the naan was good and hot but it just don’t make up for the cold gravy items. I dint expect this

Had a wonderful and entertaining time here with great food. thanks to A PHO GRILL. great show by d lady that danced BhangRA. .I even got an award for Belly Dancing… Will surely be back…

Met up with some old college friends for dinner at Tandoori Times 2 a couple of Fridays back.
We started with Samosas — mmmmmm.
Went with my standard Vindaloo, and it was tasty as always (as was the Naan).
Friday night is belly dancing night. The dancer was a) very good, b) very personable c) very funny and d) beautiful. All of that was an unexpected bonus to a nice dinner and a great time catching up with old friends.

We went for our son, who had to write a paper on Indian cuisine. My husband is most adventurous with food and will try most anything. He did eat about ½ of his. My son and I just took one bite. We were not impressed! The waitress was very nice, service was good. The food was not to our liking though.

Very good local Indian food. I ordered the buttered chicken w/​rice and garlic naan and everything was really good. I ordered take out and my food was ready in 15 minutes and tasted super fresh, I even had leftovers for the next day! I will definitely be returning to dine in and try some of their other authentic Indian dishes.

This is the best Indian food we’ve had since we lived in Germany! That is saying something! The korma was absolutely delicious, and onion and garlic naan was delish (just a bit charred), the service is excellent, the atmosphere is great, the pricing is spot on, and the portions are huge and easily enough for family-​style! No charge for sharing even! This is our new favorite restaurant!

We placed an order for delivery and were told it would take 30 – 45 minutes to receive. We waited an hour, called the restaurant and were told they had not received the order. Spoke to the manager who said they did have the order and it would be to us in 45 minutes (2 hours after ordering). Very disappointed. Our food still hasn’t arrived. To be continued…

This place was great for lunch. I think it was my first time at this location. I’d definitely go again for lunchtime. :)

Went in there to have dinner. Tandoori chicken was ok types, spices not blended in properly. Chicken tikka masala was good. But punjabi prawn curry was dissapointment.

This place is a gem. I love the way they treat my family when I come here. The belly dancer always engages with my daughter. The servers are always kind and attentive without being intrusive. We like the paneer tandoori as an appetizer and the chicken tikka masala. The naan is top shelf too. Overall you are going to have a great night.

At first I wasn’t sure why this wasn’t in the «recommended list» from my friends who are experts when it comes to Indian food, but after trying it out, I now know why.
Tandoori’s dishes have a lot of «fillers» so the meats we got in our order were very minimal compare to the other Indian restaurants. The flavor is more Americanized than I thought so it didn’t hit the «authentic mark» in my opinion.
Service is horrible, but I didn’t have much expectation on this field so it’s pretty much the food that I have issues with. It’s fun to try this restaurant once if you are running out of option, but I personally wouldn’t go back again.

This is hands down the best Indian food in the Valley. I’ve had most of the menu and everything has been delicious. My favorite items are he aloo tikki appetizer, the aloo naan with raita, the chicken makhani, and the salad with chicken. The kheer is also amazing. They’re also very accommodating to different levels of spice.
This place is definitely worth a try. The lunch specials change daily and include a curry, rice and naan. They’re a great deal. Love this place!

Love this place! If it’s your first time It’s fun to order a few different things then share as a group. Potato Naan is my favorite, but the garlic is yummy too. Any of the vindaloos are great. if you like spicy you’ll love it!
Sometimes the service is slow. So order to go if your in a huge hurry. Otherwise sit back and enjoy a meal. it’s a very calm place to eat. Not a lot of noisy music. Good for your digestion!

This has always been a favorite place of mine. However, we haven’t been here in awhile because we were so busy planning our wedding! Our biggest mistake! Shame on us!
Tonight, I was immediately reminded of how great the service was and delicious our food is. Tony and Noha were amazing! We were greeted with smiles and they were so friendly and personable! Definitely ask for them the next time you visit. The entire staff was welcoming and am so pleased with our experience all together.
And it was our first time seeing the evening entertainment! The Belly Dancer — we couldn’t take our eyes off of her. So talented and danced beautifully! Definitely worth having a date night here.
The food, as always… Wonderful! Fresh, healthy, quality food, and full of flavor. We cannot wait to comeback. I could honestly eat here everyday. Thanks for the wonderful experience!

First off, I had never had Indian food before here– so Indian food critics, I’m not the reviewer for you.
For not having Indian food before, I have to say that this place is great! The staff are very friendly and helpful with the menu. They have a good selection of bottled beers (I stuck with kingfisher an Indian import). Very good. They have happy hour from 4 – 7 everyday– not bad on prices.
This is now the second time I have been here. Ambiance is nice and casual, yet still feels kind of fancy. On Fridays nights there is a belly dancer which adds an interesting element. Will definitely be back.

Bland, overpriced and small portions that make sharing family style even more costly.
The serving staff here couldn’t satisfy the rats in Karni Mata Temple they are so disconnected from their customers. Ask about a dish and get a bland, uninspired description. Want a refill, good luck getting your server’s attention. Manage to catch one of the other servers, he walks off because you’re not in his section.
Considering our party was one of three tables in the place, there’s no excuse for rude, crappy service.
A plus is the naan. It was delicious and I’d come back for that. As take out only.
Conclusion — Phoenix has a plethora of average, run of the mill Indian restaurants and this place blends into the crowd. With bad service and an attitude that you, as the customer, don’t matter — do yourself and this restaurant a favor and take your money somewhere else.
TIP: If you’re in the area and open to new things, try the French restaurant next door. Great service and good food. Now I understand why I watched person after person go in there and not Tandoori Times 2.

Dear Tandoori times,
Here’s my experience and I hope you’ll shed some light to the areas that needs improvement and make Tandoori a better place than it is.
I went there with 3 friends (girls) and that’s when you usually don’t pay much attention to what you eat as we were so busy talking.
I started with self-​serve unlimited Tea. OMG! the glasses were so DIRTY I just couldn’t find one clean cup in there. Almost all of them were stained with Tea… argh.disgusting. I let the waitress know and asked for a disposable cup for my Tea :(
Fortunately to take my mind off, my friends had ordered Veggie sampler that arrived on time — it was a lot in quantity, nicely decorated and to top if off it tasted great. (by far this is the only food on the menu I liked the most.)
When sampler arrived we also ordered Entrée. The young waitress seemed good listener, made a note of all that we requested and disappeared.
We ordered naans and 2 types of curries out of which one was Navratan Korma plus two of my friends ordered Mango Lassi.
Guess what?
This order took them so freaggin forever that I had to stop by the waitress and ask, are you really bringing the food?
Finally after some 100 years (or it seemed like it!!) the food arrived and the Navratan Korma.
And and !!! the waitress forgot our order of 2 Lassi’. Can you believe? we thought she’ll bring it now and that became never. Anyways, my friends lost hope in the end and we never bothered to remind them ;) nor were we charged so we guessed the waitress had Lassi-​Amnesia and let go.
By the way,
When Navratan Korma arrived, it shocked all of us so much so that we stopped our conversations and asked is this Navratan Korma, really? really? (Million dollar expression on all of our faces, haha!) because all it had was Potato, Eggplant, Peas, Corn and Paneer may be.
‘Navratan means nine jewels and this dish is supposed to contain a mix of 9 fruits, vegetables and fried nuts. In true Mughlai cuisine fashion, cream (or cashew nut paste) is added to form the gravy.’ referenced from
Ok! that doesn’t mean that you have to have ALL of the 9 jewels (fruits /​veggies) in it but at least be FAIR right? and try some Beans, Carrots, Peppers that are abundantly available in Pheonix. Aren’t they?
That’s it! that is when I decided I’ll reach out to the management and call out about my concerns.
Summary (PLEASE):
1. CLEAN up those stained Tea cups
2. Remember the Order given
3. Bring the food before the hunger dies
4. Navratan Korma means total of 9 Veggie or Fruits
5. Fix the crazy spraying faucet in the Ladies restroom
Thanks for taking the pain to read my little note
Peace be with you.

Indian food in Arizona.
I think Tandoori Times is a solid Indian restaurant for great saucy masala, soft and tender fish, hot crispy naan, and super flavorful chicken.
But minus points for Justin Y. to receive an unpleasant bathroom experience after T.T. and the food took literally forever to come out.
I really did appreciate the ALL YOU CAN DRINK self-​serve chai tea
I liked it. JY didn’t.

Tandoori Times has a number of locations here in the valley and I’ve had the good fortune of eating at this one and the one located off of I-​17 & Cactus.
I’ve eaten at this location at least 10 times as it’s one of my wife’s favorite restaurants. We went on a Thursday night and walked in with a Groupon which they readily accepted.
One of the positives is that they have a full bar and a very nice wine list which my wife appreciates. I like the full bar in case I want an old fashioned as I’m not much of a wine drinker.
I ordered the lamb vindaloo and the Princess ordered the chicken vindaloo. The dinner portions are really family style with enough food for a couple of people so needless to say, we went home with leftovers. It sure didn’t hurt my feelings to have to scarf that down for lunch the next day. The basmati rice is terrific, a little saffron and other spices and it’s perfect with the vindaloo over the top of it.
The meal comes with naan and I love naan. We buy it at Costco just to have around the house. The naan here is a whole different level than what I pull out of that bag, let me tell you! Soft, light, and perfectly toasted. We upgraded to the chili naan which has green chilies sprinkled all over it. It’s awesome, definitely worth the next $ 1 or whatever it is.
Finished the meal with dessert, (surprise, surprise). Went with the rice pudding which is of a much lighter consistency that what I would say most Americans are used to. It was very good, perfect way to end the meal and cleanse my palate, which is my argument for always having dessert. It has the same flavor components as typical rice pudding, cinnamon, raisins, a little nutmeg, just not with the custard-​like consistence.
They seem to be gradually upgrading the restaurant with new paint and decorations; it’s a very comfortable restaurant with consistently good service.
I think you’ll like it.

I’m giving them an extra star for their lunch specials which is an incredible value for the amount of food that you get.
This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the area. It’s right next to school! Favorites include Achari lamb… Mmm so flavorful with no hint of gaminess, and the lunch portion will feed you for several meals. I’ve also had the chicken tikka masala which was good and chicken biryani which came with a HUGE side of raita, yay! Biryani is the food of my people (Bengalis) so I am very picky when it comes to it. I’d say TT2s biryani satisfies my cravings. I also love to end my meal with their complimentary chai. Watered down some days, good other days.
Didn’t care for the chicken tikka wrap lunch special, thought it was too dry. Their naan is too doughy for my liking; I prefer mine light and a little crispy. Other than that I have no complaints thus far.
Their décor is nice, and their dinner prices are pretty standard for a nice Indian restaurant. Their red meat is halal too! Definitely will be frequenting this place!
