hadn’t had great Indian food in a while, and my first visit to Tandoor Curry Hotspot exceeded my expectations! The restaurant is cozy, welcoming, and the staff are very friendly. Everything is made from scratch, and you can truly taste how fresh and flavorful the food is. Special thanks to Chef Sandeep for stopping by our table, making sure everything was perfect, and sharing the restaurant’s concept. We’ll definitely be back!

**Hidden Gem 💎 ** This place is an absolute must-visit. I came here after reading Google reviews, but it completely exceeded my expectations. We visited on a Friday evening and ordered the Tandoori Chicken, which was authentic, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. It is easily one of the best and most authentic tandoori chickens I have had. We also tried the Lamb Naan, Mint Naan, and Dhaba Style Chicken Curry. Everything paired perfectly and tasted amazing. I would highly recommend trying these dishes. I would happily visit again and again, as long as the same chef is cooking there. Truly a hidden gem! We requested spice level as “Indian Spice”

You know the type of food you get and you can't stop eating? That was this and unfortunately in was the car, but that didn't stop me. Was shoveling rice and biryani into my mouth at every red light. Got a huge amount of food. I'll be coming back for table service soon, I don't have the money for detailing my car after every meal.

It was our first time trying Indian food, so we were a little nervous at first, but thanks to your wife’s recommendation we tried it and it was really delicious. It even gave me the courage to try new foods. Thank you😊

It was empty at lunch but the food was very, very good. It was on point with exactly how hot I like Indian food. I had samosa, buttered chicken, and garlic naan. Everything was fantastic from the crispness of the bread to the silky texture of the sauce over the rice and chicken. I will eat here again.

Owner was so welcoming, the food was delicious (and huge quantities!), and the restaurant was welcoming and super clean. Ordered lunch thalis (one veg and one non-veg), order of samosas and a garlic naan. Spice was perfect. Took home leftovers! Will definitely be back! Thank you, Sandeep, for a wonderful meal and great conversation.
