The Tandoor Tavern

"We are visiting from Adelaide & stopped here for lunch. The service was AMAZING & the food ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The chef prepared a special vegan dish for me & the server suggested a lunch time deal (which was also adapted to be vegan). We highly recommend this place & the friendly, accomodating staff. We’ve visited India a couple of times & the food we ate today was equally as tasty. If we lived here we would definitely be regular customers. THANK YOU for your outstanding service & food!"

"Rang in and booked a table for 2. Gave them heaps of notice. When my wife and I arrived, we went Upto reception and joined the line. There was 2 groups of two in front of us that said they had no booking and they got seat straight away. When it was our turn I said we had a booking at 7. They said “you will need to wait for a table to free up” What’s the point in booking if they aren’t going to reserve a seat or anything? We had just driven a hour and a half so wasn’t very happy about this."

"So last time we got our meal the chicken was fully burnt. Called them up, I was very polite about it. But not even a sorry, full denial. Which was funny because I wasn't calling up for a refund or anything like that. Why would I call to say the chickens burn hardout on one side to the point it was chewier than beef jerky. Then tonight, overcharged, and short supplied in our meal. And you guessed it, oh next time we refund you $3. I wasn't calling for money. I go to work to earn that myself. Told I was given an old menu. If you have your pricing on print. You should honor the price you have in print. I'm human, and I respect they are too but come on..."

"Excellent food! We had garlic and cheese naan, paneer tikka masala and prawn korma. Highly recommend all of those dishes as well as the roasted ice cream!"

"We stopped by for dinner on the way back to Auckland from Ruapehu, The menu is decently sized and does have some interesting items on it that I haven't seen in other places like an eggplant masala. For many of the dishes, you can also choose the protein you wanted. I went with the lamb Madras as well as a mango lassi. The lassi was interesting since it didn't have a mango flavour to it. The curry was quite nice. I also tried some of the eggplant marsala and venison curry and both were also nice. The venison did come with lots of bones though. We also got some of the momo to share and they were interesting, deep fried with a strong ginger flavour. We ate our fill quite easily with curry, rice, and naan. It was a nice place to get a really filling dinner."
