About
Mr Tandoor — low-key food in Rogers Park that runs on repeat customers. Order the Butter Chicken. The food tastes like it should, with no compromises. Good value, family-run. "The butter chicken was creamy perfection, and the tandoori lamb chops were tender and flavorful" — Abdullah Ijaz

I went to this place and I ordered chicken biryani, but they gave me lamb biryani and I try to bring it back the next day.
Chicken Bryani was TERRIBLE every bite had splintered bones, meat was dry and chewy, there were big pieces of mushy potato, burnt rice, and the yogurt sauce was watery.
I am so disappointed, as Mr Tandoor came highly recommended.

Tried Mr. Tandoor recently and really liked it. The food tasted authentic and flavorful, not overly spicy but still full of desi taste. Fresh naan, good portions, and everything came out hot. Solid spot if you’re craving traditional desi food. Most importantly the people there are amazing!

If you’re craving authentic desi comfort food, this little family-run gem is a must-visit! The flavors are homely, rich, and made with so much love—you can truly taste the difference. But the real star for me? Their coconut cookies. They’re absolutely to die for—freshly baked, perfectly crisp on the outside yet soft inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. You can tell they’re made with care and attention because every bite is pure perfection. It’s rare to find a place that feels this personal and delivers food this good. Highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!

“Delicious meal, really good servings for the price.”
Delicious meal, really good servings for the price. We got butter chicken, garlic naan, aloo cutlace, and mango lassi. Everything was really good. The rice serving was pretty big, you can probably split with two people

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently ordered to go at Mr Tandoor, and I have to say it was an amazing experience! I ordered the Chicken Taki Masala, and the meat was incredibly tender, soaking up the rich, flavorful sauce that truly felt like heaven on my palate. I also tried the vegetarian samosas, and they were perfection! Soft and flaky with just the right amount of spices, they made for a delightful appetizer. Another highlight of my meal was the Chicken Tikka - I opted for the 5-piece serving, and it did not disappoint! Each piece was juicy and bursting with flavor. Overall, Mr Tandoor is a gem, and I can’t wait to return to try more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommend!

“Great place for hearty and flavorful vegetarian food.”
Great place for hearty and flavorful vegetarian food! Unassuming storefront space with kind staffers, great prices for the big serving sizes, and a casual vibe. Recommend the garlic naan and both daal dishes. Try it out!

“Great food from a nice neighborhood restaurant.”
Great food from a nice neighborhood restaurant. We got the achari chicken, chicken tikka, and butter naan. Everything was very tasty. It was even packed very nicely for our carryout order.
