Village Tandoor - North Indian restaurant

We've been eating the delicious food here for many years. The food is authentic, nicely seasoned and ample. We like our food spicy but here we just order our dishes medium which is spicy enough. The service is good but not fast. Good food takes time to make. There is a large parking lot as the restaurant is in a large shopping center. If you like Indian food, try this place

My siblings and I came here for Sunday lunch to satisfy an Indian food craving and hands down, it was satisfied. You can check my photos to see the menu and everything available that day at their $22 lunch buffet. After looking through the menu, I felt that the lunch buffet was the more worth-it option despite it being $22 a person (an initially very shocking price for me and my siblings). For $22, I got a single serving of naan, unlimited drinks like the Shirley Temple, three rice options, 2 deep fried options, 4 dessert options, 2 fruit options, a salad bar, 2 soup options and a bunch of different curries and entrees. The value of the lunch buffet came in the variety of foods that I had access to. I didn't have to settle for just one flavor. The last Indian place my family went to, we were charged about $20 for each dish and the bowls were small and we left being barely filled. But I left Village Tandoor a few pounds heavier and a lot happier. Everything tasted authentic. Sometimes, it can be difficult to make a bunch of curries taste different but they've nailed that with their varying aroma and spice profiles. Downsides to the buffet are that once something runs out, they don't seem to refill it. That was the case with the samosas and chile packhora. The samosa was very flavorful despite its small size. I'm sad they didn't refill it after it ran out. I only got to try one. I also wish they had more vegan options. The Daal makhni and lentil soup seemed to be the only 2 protein options for vegans and they weren't very flavorful. However, I appreciate how vegans and vegetarians could get a well balanced meal out of the buffet, although not as much variety. The staff waited on us like butlers whose livelihood depended on it. When we needed something, they were there. When our plates were finished, they immediately cleaned them up. Before they started closing up the buffet, they asked if I wanted to get one final plate. Very friendly, fast and polite. However, one server told us that additional naan was included in the buffet but we were charged $2 for that additional serving of butter naan. Maybe it was because it wasn't the plain naan that we got charged but I wish they'd made that clearer because our server made it very clear that garlic naan would be additional charge but didn't say the same for the butter naan. They have a special champagne brunch buffet on Sundays where you can get what I believe is unlimited champagne with your meal. I didn't have any but the table near us was definitely filling up on it. The staff noticed they were having a little too much to drink and tried to convince them to stop, citing drunk driving as their main concern but the customers refused and the staff continued to serve them. I saw it as very thoughtful of the staff to be considerate of the public's wellbeing. The establishment seems entirely Indian owned and run. The decor appears very culturally accurate, reminding me of the paintings that my family has from our own culture. Plenty of seating. Lots of stuff to look at and be entertained by.

Solid North Indian Indian food. All the typical classics cooked well. Prices are fair, portions are large, and take out is ready quickly. In particular their Baingan Bharta is really delicious.

For at least 15 years, this is my go to for Indian Food Always wonderful service whether you eat in most of the time we take out Food is always fresh and hot. You can't ask for anything more than that.

The garlic naan is amazing. Super garlicky. Highly recommend. I like the variety of dishes they have. Their food is a bit spicy but I love spicy
