Food is quite tasty in this place but u cant enjoy it--the manager guy is so rude and hostile that u will feel like getting out of this place. He is taking orders saying"next,next,next!!!" It surprises me how they still get customers--may be indians are OK with ill behaviour.

This restaurant has a good atmosphere and great food. From my experience the staff has always been attentive and pretty friendly. My friends and I really like this restaurant and I definitely recommend it.

Pros: Great Indian Food

Cons: None

I do like the food and so does my husband however the man behind the counter was extremely unfriendly. I almost felt as if he was doing me a favor by serving me. Additionally, when I've ordered over the phone, after picking up the food and getting home, I checked the bill and the charges did not tally. There seemed to be some phantom additional charges which just didn't add up. Since this happened twice...I've decided not to go back.

Pros: Food is yummy

Cons: Feeling unwelcomed

If you are looking for tasty, authentic Indian food with the BEST naan anywhere, go to Tandoor. We just went there for the first time last night, purely based on reviews from CitySearch and friends. It was everything we were looking for--(we had actually gone to Namaste, which is right by our house, looked at the menu, saw nothing that we liked, and drove to Bloomington just for this place!) The food was delish, and the ambience was awesome. Lots of couples on dates. Friendly service.

Pros: Great food, Ambience,

Cons: Not in my neighborhood!

My family visited this places several times for a lunch buffet. To be honest, I'm not big on Indian food. But growing up in Uzbekistan, a lovely country in Central Asia, I realize the difference between food baked in a tandoor or some other way. I don't know whether many people know that a tandoor is an ethnic oven, which used not only in India. It's probably more used in Uzbekistan than in India. Our favorites are naan, chicken tandoori and goat. Just wait when it's coming right from the tandoor rather the one that's been sitting in a casserole. Even just 15-20 minutes make a huge difference. The service is very informal, that we like, prices are reasonable. I don't know yet any other place in Twin Cities that has a tandoor. So we'll come again when our stomachs are feeling like "a tandoor is calling".

Pros: Food coming right from a tandoor.

Cons: Too far away from my place.

A local Minneapolis business associate told me that Tandoor is a good Indian restaurant. It has a high CitySearch 4.5 rating. That rating is undeserved in my opinion. While not the worst of the worst, it leaves a lot to be desired. I travel a lot and eat at many restaurants all over the country. Indian food is one of my favorites. Food - Vindaloo Lamb was mostly aloo (potatoes). Kulfi was mostly condensed milk, not much pistachios and almonds. Naan was quite undercooked. Even the papadam was burnt and it took a long time to get it served. Mango lassi was colorful but not very mango. Service - poor and slow. Once I ordered, the waiter never stopped by to ask if I want another Lassi (I did). It took at least five minutes to get more green mint chutney for the papadum. And it was not so crowded to warrant the slow service. Summary: I won't be back to Tandoor in Bloomington, MN ever again.

Cons: slowwwww service, poor value (skimping on ingredients)

I have been waiting to write this review for quite sometime and today is the day. Tandoor Indian restaurant in Bloomington (Minneapolis) is OK as far as food is concerned but their customer service is horrible. We were a group of 5 who entered the place at 9:45 P.M. The timings outside said the restaurant was open upto 10:30. So we walked in without hesitation. The manager immediately on seeing us, in a rude manner said that we had to order quickly and they cannot take orders after 10 PM. He said the kitchen closed at 10. Fine...That may be their policy but there is a nicer and polite way to say things to customers !!! We walked out and went to Don Pablos where they greeted us with a smile !!! This was not the first time that I faced this. On 2 previous occassions, I was told the same in a rude fashion when we walked in for a lunch buffet. The owner said we had to take all we wanted because he was going to take out the food as it was 2:15 PM. So this place is good if you want to eat some decent Indian food in Bloomington/Edina/Richfield area but do not expect courteous service one bit. Hope the management reads all these reviews and corrects themselves.

Pros: Decent Indian food

Cons: Horrible service, Rude manager, pathetic timing policies

I went to this ‘Tandoor’ restaurant in Minneapolis. It was mentioned as very popular and good restaurant with tasty food. But my experience with Tandoor restaurant is worst specifically the way the ‘Tandoor’ restaurant in-charge acted with me and other customers. He being old and showed a non friendly with customer and rude words against all people that he came across. In some restaurant like Tandoor’,We would sometimes compensate with good food for these kind of rude activities But the food is not tasty and very raw. In some restaurant like Tandoor’, we would feel better if the food is fresh. But all the food is old and stayed in the buffet as place to get rid off old food. Even after everything, if food is healthy, we might have tolerated all the above facts. But by the next day, it was pretty clear that I had food pois oning. After speaking with my friends and apparently, I wasn't the only one that got sick. I'm just now getting over it. ... hell.

Pros: You can escape next time defintely

Cons: ALL and the restuarant in charge take the top position here
