Tandoori Palace - Indian Restaurant & Catering 257 North El Camino Real, Encinitas, CA 92024

"My husband and I stopped by for an early dinner and throughly enjoyed our chai teas ( not to sweet, just perfect), onion bhaji and pappadum with accompaniments for appetizer. We absolutely loved our chicken tikka masala and spinach and paneer dish. What we appreciated most was the attentive and personable service by Raj himself. He served us extras to try, such as the mango chutney and dessert - going the extra mile to accommodate. We will be back, for sure. Entire staff made us feel very welcome here. What a gem !"

"If you’re considering dining at an outstanding Indian restaurant, you’ve found the best one. You’ll never need to find another one again. We came for dinner and had a wonderful experience, our server was Raj, and he was extremely kind, friendly, helpful, and professional. He provided amazing recommendations and provided us more information to help us understand what we were eating and how it’s traditionally eaten in India. Portion sizes are very large and can feed 2-4 people! The environment is clean, music is relaxing. The food was outstanding as always, we’ve been customers since 2020 (4 years) and will be returning as always. Thank you Raj!"

"I enjoyed the service and atmosphere. The food needs to be improved. Need to cut sugar. Ordered Samosa - great Butter chicken - too sweet Mango curry- dessert sweet"

"Was in Encinitas taking care of some errands and glad we stopped here for lunch. We had their Lunch special and it included Rice, Naan, salad, soup and a main dish. The portion was just right and my Chicken Korma was delicious. My husband ordered the lamb and enjoyed it. An authentic and reasonably priced option if you are in the area."

"Found this place looking for halal food. The rack of lamb is 4 pieces! Look at how much meat is on them. The garlic & chili & cilantro naan was the best I’ve ever had! The service was exceptional, it’s family friendly, and you need to check this place out! $14.99 weekday lunch special! What?!?!?!?!"
