Reviews for Tandoori Palace - Indian Restaurant & Catering in Encinitas, CA

If you are craving Indian punjabi dhaba food , this is your place . Had the most amazing food . We came in ready to settle for... American version of Indian food but we were amazed to find freshly made hot buttered up tandoori roti’s and yummiest saagpaneer and daal tarka . My pickiest 6 yr old ate very well n on his own , this is how good the food was . Owner Mr. Ranjit andhis whole staff is so polite welcoming and kind , they offered us “ adrakh wali chai “ after dinner . This whole experiencemade me crave for their tandoori aloo parantha and surely there we were again 11 am to have their special “ adrakh chai “ (ginger tea) and tandoori paranthas . We are thankful for such amazing food and great hospitality. I wish I could have takenpictures of our food but it was hard to think of photographs when your food is so good !! Read more

It is one of our favorite Indian restaurants we have been too. In Phoenix we don’t haveas good as here. Recommend! Regardless of what you order you won’t be disappointed- Also have a Kingfisher - one of the bestbeers IMO Read more

Very good Indian food, large portions - each dish enough for two people - and friendly professional service. Nothing super... special but it is a solid choice, I would eat there again. Read more

We ordered the Vegetable Pakora as an appetizer. Then we got the Chef's Naan basket which had: a mixture of plain naan, garlic... naan & cheese naan. Then for the main course we got Gobi Manchurian and Paneer Tiki Marsala. We also were supposed to get theMalai Kofta but the waiter it was his 3rd day so he messed it up and never put it on our order. Anyways we didn't pay for it soit was chill. The Gobi Manchurian was spicy for me so we got a yogurt sauce to dip everything in. Also I feel like theyshorted us on the rice as well. Other than that all the food was very good. Read more

We also... ordered garlic naan and two entrees, goan lamb curry and butter chicken which were so tasty. Everyone was kind and attentive,and the portions were generous. we will definitely be returning! Read more

Visiting the Carlsbad area looking for good Indian food? Tandoori Palace is an excellent choice! No wait, no reservation... required on a Saturday night. We ordered onion bahji, mild butter chicken, spicy shrimp saag, and garlic naan. The butterchicken was perfect for my kids who don't do well with spicy dishes, and my husband said the spicy shrimp saag was perfectly hotbut didn't mask the flavor. The staff was attentive and very polite. Highly recommend! Read more

Visited on a weekday, they had a lot of pick-up orders and less dine-in people. It had impact on the service time and quality... both as we were dining in. They have many vegetarian options in both starters and main course category. Their veg and paneerpakoda were good. Their Baingan Bharta (Brinjal Curry) is a must try as it is something different than regular curries and hasoriginal smokey flavour. Overall it was above average but I believe they can improve a lot in bringing actual Punjabi taste tothe food. Their prices were on higher side compared to the taste and quantity. Read more
