D' Tandoor Review

Hey there guys!So this here is a post that should have happened a few months back. Sorry for being late. Really menat to get this up soon but only have the chance to do so now.

For my birthday , I asked grandma to treat me to lunch. At D' Tandoor. Love the food there by the way. The moment you walk into the restaurant, the aroma of spices and flavours just welcome you and it's so wonderful to be there.

So we ordered the Aloo Gobi. I think this is the picture of that but I can't promise you because these pictures were taken way too long for me to keep track of that. Anyway, this Aloo Gobi was mildly spicy but very fragrant and flavourful from all the spices used. It was okay but honestly I expected more out of this dish. The next dish we ordered was Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) but I found that a tad too bland. I also expected more spiciness from this dish eventhough it's called Butter Chicken must that's my personal preference. Then, we had the vindaloo. That was fiery hot from all the pepper but the meat was quite tough and in my opinion should have been boiled longer. I did not manage this as I was lazy to chew that day.


Oh! And before I forget for drinks, I ordered
an almond based milkshake (strawberry) while the others ordered sweet lassi, mango lassi and the fruit punch. My milkshake had almond flakes of course and it was very difficult to sip the drink through with a straw. Other than that, it was delicious and so were the rest of the drinks which I also sipped for my pleasure!

 And this is another curry I ordered but completely forgot what it was. I don't even have the faintest clue.But what i remember is that it was okay. We also ordered a normal briyani to have with all these dishes and I would have liked to have dessert as well but my stomach had no space that day. When I was there many months back, I have a really wonderful kulfi which is Indian- style ice- cream. I'll definitely have that one next time though.
My rating for this place is 3/5. The food there was not very great. It was okay and delicious but I really did expect more. The last time that I was there in December,the quality was better. Well,that's all. I hope you enjoyed my review. Oh! And thank you for stopping by. Please do Like my blog shop on Facebook. It would mean a lot to me. The link is here
