I ate here once on a date and it was great. Maybe not the usual place to venture on a new relationship… but why not! Food was very tasty, service was good. And we left full. We stuck with a Chicken Masala, and a Chicken Korma(classics). I’ll defiantly be going back.

This place is great. My friends and I can depend on the food transporting our minds to India with every bite. If you’re dining in or looking for great take out India’s Tandoori is the place for you. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The buffet is good as well. They always have a variety of items that can satisfy a carnivore or herbivore. I can only say good things about the service there. Nitin makes your dining experience special and Vicky makes it fun.

Nitin was a very gracious host. He makes your experience more than pleasant. I have been here many times, yet I always eludes me to write a review after such a great meal. I get lost in sleepiness and happiness from my comatose state of eating. The champagne brunch is the best they have to offer all in one sitting. It has never disappointed and they always have fresh and delicious food. I’m not sure who loves this place more, me or my wife. All inclusive champagne and food for 2 and still less than $ 30!!! You can’t beat that with a baseball bat! I would definitely give recommendations to anyone I know to come eat here.

Saturday lunch buffet really hit the spot. They had a beautiful fresh salad loaded with tomatoes and cucumber. A few nice meat entrée choices, a few good veggie entrée choices, Samosas, Chicken Wings, two kinds of rice, fresh fruit and three different kinds of dessert pudding/soups. It was all good stuff and very fresh and flavorful. Garlic Na’an was included in the deal which was appreciated. The desserts were a little different than we’re used to(as Americans), but we were pleasantly surprised how good they were. Light, sweet but not super sweet, and refreshing. My only criticism would be the size of the thighs and legs used for the Tandoori and the size of the fried wings. The chicken pieces here are about half the size of the stuff you would buy at the grocery store so I feel like they are skimping a little on the quality there. All in all though, it was a good meal.

My co-workers and I came here for lunch and the food was delicious. I forgot how good Indian food is. It’s a buffet style so upon entrance, one of the employees just tell you where your table is and you can head straight for the buffet bar. I thoroughly enjoyed the fresh naan, samosas, the onion bhaji, and paneer pakora. We finished off our meal with the mango malai and rice pudding. Yum! Can’t wait til we have our next work lunch over here!

Came here for their lunch buffet which is actually quite affordable at $ 10 a person. They have a good selection of items including salad, main entrees, fruits and dessert. They brought out a basket of freshly-made naan, too. Now, my opinion an Indian restaurant rests almost entirely on one dish — the chicken tikka masala. It’s the only reason I go to Indian buffets. I eat it with white rice and I dip the naan in the curry sauce. Sadly I was not impressed with the chicken tikka masala here. The curry was completely lacking in flavor. Other than its orange hue, it did not resemble chicken tikka masala at all. The other entrees just wasn’t enough to overcome my disappointment. I really teetered between three and four stars for this place because gosh darn it, $ 10 for a lunch buffet is such a great deal. And the staff were ultra attentive and helpful. But until they do something about the chicken tikka masala, I’ll need to get my Indian fix elsewhere…

We love this place! They have authentic delicious Indian food. Our favorites are the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan and samosas. We come here frequently, and the service is always great. We highly recommend Indias Tandori to anyone wanting a great Indian meal!

Top spot! Love the food and the best samosas in town! Lunch time buffet is a bargain. Still the ultimate lunch spot. No Samosas on the menu today but, when I mentioned how sad I was about that fact, Nitin arrived at our table with 2 freshly made chicken samosa from the kitchen — How cool is that! The food is always good — the goat curry is one of my favorites.

The Sultans of Indian Cuisine in Los Angeles(Manhattan Beach). We have discovered an amazing weekend Buffet at India’s Tandoori(everyday until 3: pm). The warm hospitality of Nitin and his staff of chefs and servers is always welcoming to our entire family. India’s Tandoori never fails to present a Fresh assortment of Authentic Indian dishes. Hot, fresh and perfectly seasoned with fresh herbs for the enjoyment of all ages! And, don’t forget to enjoy the Chai Tea.

I give the food 4 stars, relative to any other Indian food I’ve had around the area. It had a lot of flavor, and is a good place to go for anyone new to Indian food(as was my girlfriend when we went). You have the choice of getting any of their dishes mild, medium, or spicy. The service was attentive, friendly, and the food was delivered quickly(but not so quickly you worried that it was just sitting in the back). The only thing I would downgrade is the ambiance. We showed up at 6:30pm on a Monday and no one else was there, so it made the experience a bit awkward. Nothing that the restaurant could have done to change that for us though.

The service was great but the food was very blah. I’m not sure if it was because we ordered entrees during buffet hours instead of going with the buffet. They use a lot of color in their food which was a turn off. The samosas and chicken pakoras very decent but the paneer was very bland.

Very RUDE& unprofessional! My fiancé & I ordered from here via Door Dash a couple of times & really fell in love with their samosas so decided to order directly from the company to avoid a delivery fee & to try other things. I didn’t receive my food until two hours after I initially ordered. After the first hour I called to check the eta & was told it would be 20 minutes, after 45 minutes I called again & was told it would be another 10 – 15 minutes. When I asked to speak to a manager I was HUNGUPON. Then when the driver did arrive he didn’t even come to my gate I had to go out to his car. Food nor tea is hot. I doubt that I’ll eat here again after this experience. & that sucks because I actually like the food. Oh well, learn how to treat people. If I could give negative stars, I definitely would.

We were starving for some Indian food and this was the closest place on Unilocal that we found. We got lured in by the Unilocal deal and decided to try it out. We were super duper excited that it turned out so good! We caught the lunch buffet, which is all you can eat and also comes with unlimited naan and soda(!!!). The buffet selection is really extensive for the price(it was around $ 12-$ 14 after tax, I think it’s closer to $ 14 when its on the weekend but cheaper on weekdays). They have all the favorites in the buffet — samosas, chicken curry, saag paneer, matar paneer, lamb curry, tandoori, dal, as well as a wide selection of other foods, chutneys, salad and dessert. They also really don’t skimp on the foods and the servings. As someone who’s been to a buffet and had to search through the gravy for the one piece of chicken, the dishes were well proportioned and have generous portions of meats. Everything was hot and refilled promptly. The food was tasty and definitely way better than what I expect from a buffet. Service was great, I almost want to say a bit overattentive. Overall the interior was spacious and clean. I was a bit surprised at how empty it was — there was only us and another party for a Saturday lunch hour. The Unilocal deal they have right now is a great deal, in my opinion. Overall, food was delicious and I would definitely recommend.

India’s Tandoori is a pretty good place for Indian food in the South Bay. There are actually a few good Indian places like India’s Tandoori, Mandovi, and my personal favorite Tandoor A India in Playa del Rey. I haven’t been to India’s Tandoori for lunch to try out their lunch buffet but a lot of my coworkers like their buffet the most out of all the Indian restaurants in the area. We were here for dinner and what’s good was that I was able to call ahead of time to make a reservation for about ten people. They were able to accommodate us easily. We all ordered different plates and the food came out pretty fast for a Sunday night. The servers were great as well. Nitin was one of the guys who helped us and he was great! The food we had was good, not great. Their chicken tikka masala is always a good choice. But I think chicken tikka masala is the equivalent of ordering pad Thai at a Thai restaurant. But who cares. I love it! There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant.

India’s Tandoori mails out coupons to neighboring cities. Unilocal Check In discount is 15%. I had one for 20%, which the restaurant honored even though it was expired. Bf and I decided to go the buffet route. It had a wide varieties of dishes we wanted to try. We walked in close to 3 p.m. and by then the food was lukewarm and dry The flavor was off as well. The service was welcoming and prompt. The staff members were cordial.

A Unilocal deal of $ 10 for $ 20 was hard to resist with our craving for Indian food for dinner. Garlic naan was served warm, but could have had a little more garlic. The tikka masala chicken paired nicely with the shrimp biryani. However, when the chicken came to the table, I was surprised at how red the sauce was. I was wondering if I made a mistake ordering it medium hot, but it was fine after I started eating and got used to it. When we entered, the restaurant had only one other couple dining, and when we left, the same couple was still eating with no other customers. The food was OK, but not remarkable. Servers were courteous.

We were invited to a first birthday at India’s Tandoori over the weekend. The restaurant is split into two levels and the birthday party had rented out the upper level(by only a couple of stairs) that you can enter from Sepulveda. The lower level was still available to regular customers and there is a back entrance from the parking lot as well. The parking lot is large and there were many spaces available. The upper and lower levels are accessible and viewable from each side. As soon as we entered the upper area of the party the waitstaff greeted us and asked us if we wanted anything to drink. The host had been able to decorate the room and the tables. There were several rectangular tables and chairs and then also several booths. We picked a booth for my family of 4 near the buffet line. The buffet started with salad options and then there were samosas and the crunch type bread(not naan) and some cheese dish for appetizers. When items ran out they were quickly refilled. An hour or so after the party began the lunch buffet was set with a variety of Indian foods including saag paneer, chicken tikka masala and tandoori chicken. Everything tasted great and was fresh. The naan and rice and tandoori chicken were especially popular with my kids. They also enjoyed the mango lassee(spelling?) very much. Throughout the event the waitstaff walked around and asked us if we needed a drink refill or anything else. They were very attentive. This was our second time dining here but our first time for an event like a birthday. Both experiences were great and it is clear that it is a good location to have an event if you enjoy Indian food. They take great care of their customers.

Delicious food and excellent service! Came for the lunch buffet(~$ 10). Was offered either plain or garlic naan. Garlic naan: 4⁄5 I prefer more garlicky naan but that’s personal preference. The naan was piping hot, fresh, and had a great crust on the bottom. The lunch buffet had a great assortment of vegetarian and meat options. Some of my favorites was the chicken samosa, goat curry, tikka masala, eggplant, and Indian noodles. There was also a nice selection of cut fruit, sauces, and salad starters. Everything was very fresh and delicious. The waiters were extremely attentive and were constantly asking how my meal was. At the end of my meal, my waiter handed me a coupon for 15% off my next visit. Highly reccomend this place for the A+ service and excellent for for an excellent price.

A hidden gem! India’s Tandoori is a fantastic Indian restaurant, just 5 miles down Highway One from LAX. This was our first stop into our L.A. vacation, courtesy of family friends in the know. It may not seem like much from the exterior but it’s a beautiful, ornate restaurant inside with lots of seating, great service, and delicious food. Luckily, we got in just in time for the lunch buffet. One of the best Indian lunch buffets I’ve had. Samosas, Tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, Daal Makhni, Saag Paneer, goat curry, Bergan Bhartha, cabbage curry, and so much more! Large and diverse selection and everything was tantalizingly delicious. I especially liked the Daal Makhni, Saag Paneer, and cabbage curry. Wonderful flavors all around. The goat curry was really good too and I’d recommend it to anyone who hasn’t tried goat before. What I also like about this restaurant is that unlike a lot of Indian restaurants back on the East Coast where I live, there’s a greater selection of vegetarian dishes. Lunch buffet also comes with unlimited drinks, including alcohol. What a steal! Service was friendly and timely. At the end of our meal, we all ordered some chai tea and it was the best chai tea I’ve had so far. Do not overlook this restaurant!

Went here for the first time with a friend on a Wednesday night and we both thought the food was FANTASIC. So much that I only got a photo of the mango lassi(which was just ok). See below… Pros: –GREATFOOD(Ordered goat tikka masala, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, & rice) –Often have a Groupon or Unilocal deal(don’t forget it!) –Good serving sizes(we both had leftovers) –Nice ambience/décor –Plenty of tables/booths –Plenty of parking in the lot Cons: –Hard to find unless you know where it is(can see from Sepulveda but park/enter in the back… it’s across from the Baskin Robbins shopping center) –Very dim lighting in some areas –Food takes awhile to come out(don’t go too hungry!) –Potential for miscommunication with servers –Somewhat pushy staff I’ll definitely come back with the hubby! They have a lunch buffet too that I think is less than $ 12.

Terrific food, extensive menu and I’ve never been disappointed with any of the food preparation. Naan, tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, rogan josh, chutneys… even the seafood was yummy. I’m a huge fan of Monk 10,000, but they seem to rarely have it, evidently its tough to keep in stock… this beer pairs perfectly with Indian food. Service is always top notch… frankly a little too over the top last visit. I’d take a sip of water and a server would refill my glass. With 3 of us drinking water it was a bit overwhelming… slow down caterpillar, we don’t mind the refills just give the table a chance to enjoy and not be interrupted for a few minutes, okay? Always nice to end the evening by thanking the server… and in turn receive a thank you for patronizing the restaurant. Last time our server thought I didn’t notice when he opened the leather bill presenter to check and see if I left a tip! I did, 20% and if I hadn’t been off my guard I would have called him on it… how tacky. Again, it fries my eggs when customer service is lacking. We will visit the Torrance location over this one next time.

This was one of the best Indian buffets I’ve ever been to!!! The atmosphere is so beautiful! And Nitin and all of the other servers were some of the nicest I’ve met! I don’t know if this was an Easter special but we got champange with our brunch, which was amazing! We’ve only come for the buffet so far but we’ll be back and I’ll review more. With the buffet the garlic naan was so light and fluffy. Normally I don’t like samosas but theirs was so different and really had a ton of filling which I liked more– not too greasy like others. The saag paneer was awesome, chicken tikka masala was amazing so was the chicken tandoori(I’m a pescatarian but that’s what my mom said ;)) I was surprised by how nice their salad looked – usually it’s just some lettuce. But they really put a lot into each dish. And the dessert was amazing, and again normally I don’t like indian buffet desserts! Honestly everything was really good. I’m sad I missed an eggplant dish. So I’ll have to come back and see if it’s good since that’s my favorite indian dish.
