Special Maharaja buffet on Sat
Tandoor Restaurant is proud to serve the Twin Cites (Minneapolis and St. Paul) with authentic Indian food for over two decades. In the early 1980s, we opened this restaurant in Minneapolis. After the city remodeled the old building, we decided to move to Bloomington in hopes of expanding our business. Today we are going on over 20 years in business and many of you have become our friends. Part of being a small operation gives us the chance to walk around and get to know our customers. This is the best part of our business. We strive to provide a family environment; in fact, many times you may have seen our whole family working together. We strive hard to make our food enjoyable to the public. Fresh ingredients and spiced the way you like, we hope that you enjoy our food. We offer vegetarian and non-vegetarian options and accommodate whatever level of spice you can handle. …

Tips for Tandoor Restaurant
March 04, 2011
Always excellent.
I have been going here for many years. The lunch buffet has a nice variety of very tasty food that is always well-prepared. Food is prepared fresh and replaced on a continuous basis. Although it is not large, there are enough vegtarian and nonvegetarian items that there is always plenty to eat. The staff is always attentive.
I have never had any kind of a problem. I am rather perplexed by some of the other reviews--they seem to be talking about some other place, and they refer to other restaurants that no longer exist or are nowhere near here.
Although there are at least 10 Indian restaurants in the Twin Cities that I like, this one is my overall favorite.

Tandoor never for buffet!!!!.
I went for an buffet on sat,but was very sad,didn't like it at all.the tandoor chicken seems stale.Service was pathetic,they were not concern as what was empty.
I have been here for dinner,that time i found it ok for chicken tikka masala,but last time had chicken biryani..it was not good at all.
Dont try for buffet....I will suggest u to go to Bombay bristro.It's too good a little expensive than this but worth and even India spice house was far better than this and with the same price as Tandoor.

Rude and not worth expensive restaurant.
I had gone here to have my marriage anniversary dinner but I was surprised to see the attitude of but waiters.....they are ill-mannered....they banged the dishes on tables....in-between they don't even have courtesy to check on guest...we have to call every time which really spoils the mood of dining outside...
Abt food, it's nothing great at all...in everything you will definitely find heavy cream.....which states it's authenticity...my hubby had ordered for a glass wine but instead they handed over quarter of wine only....they serve food too late....in our curries their great chef forgot to put salt...after asking for no. Of time one waiter banged it with so dirty expressions....I don't understand why people would go there?
My friends I was the victim of all this...u don't be becos we don't deserve this after paying our hard earn money... Rest your wish!

Great experience in every way. We had a wonderful time.......the breads are perfect and the curries so truly Indian. The samosas are some of the best I've ever had, with a wonderfully different sauce. I like good, wholesome Indian food in a warm, friendly environment...and that's what we always get.

Surhabi buffet is better. went for lunch buffet. tandoori chicken was dry and perhaps old? everything else was ok. i highly recommend Surhabi in Bloomington. also leave the kiddos home-they charge $5 for 3 year olds.

Indian food that will knock your socks off!.
I am in MSP about two weeks a month for business and Tandoor has become one of my weekly must-visit stops. Food is moderately priced, staff is exceptionally friendly and the product is amazing. I'm nut for some chicken makhani and there isnt any better in any of the dozens of Indian restaurants I've been to across the U.S. I know naan is pretty basic type of food, but somehow Tandoor's seems fresher and more lively than other places.
While I always go with the makhani, my colleagues also praise the tikki masala, and, of course, the tandoori chicken.
Overall A+

Best Indian Food Around: Scratch That, Best Food Around. Having tried many different Indian Cuisines around the world, nothing comes close to matching the quality of the Tandoor in Bloomington. Its curry is the freshest I have tired and the Garlic Nan is enough to knock you out of your seat. I highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala which clearly uses the freshest ingredients around. If you are in Minneapolis, or anywhere in the Midwest for that matter, make sure you stop by the Tandoor.

Best Indian Food in the MidWest. I grew up in Minneapolis but now live in Chicago. Anytime I make it back to the Twin Cities I have to make sure I swing by here for the best Indian food around!!!

Great, moderately priced Indian cuisine. Tandoor Restaurant served the best Indian food I have ever tasted. Everything was absolutely perfect and the staff was extremely helpful and pleasant to talk with.
