We thought it might be an unique experience for our friend from Japan to have an authentic North Indian food, so here we are at Tandoor Tandoor is established since 1985 and is one of the famous North Indian restaurant in Singapore that offers traditional delicacies. We are indeed impressed with it's presentation of food and culinary art and of course the food taste A complimentary tomato puree before our meal starts ~Unfortunately, I do not know the authentic name of these starters .. so I call
Tandoor is established since 1985 and is one of the famous North Indian restaurant in Singapore that offers traditional delicacies. We are indeed impressed with it's presentation of food and culinary art and of course the food taste A complimentary tomato puree before our meal starts ~ Unfortunately, I do not know the authentic name of these starters .. so I called them the North Indian Chips ;p The larger crescent chips were overwhelmed with black pepper and were very spicy ... Surprisingly they tasted good Three unidentified condiments to go with the chips ;p I particular love the center condiment which seems like a concentrated sweet jam ~
Well we took the same non-vegetarian food set for SGD55 per person ~ perhaps it's the most money value worth set to us and we are clueless on what to order in the ala carte menu
Here's Tandoori Chicken, Garlic Naan and Tandoori Fish: This blew us off immediately ... Both meat were very tender and immersed with flavor. This is definitely the most tender North Indian meat that we have eaten so far.
Additional Butter Naan (SGD 8) that we ordered: The portion was more than we expected and I packed the unfinished ones home
Ooh, by the way, I'm very fortunate to have a group of friends who love flour products especially bread and naan
From bottom left: Masaledar Prawn - Shelled prawns with gravy of kalonji, onion, grated coconut, tomato and black pepper
Butter Chicken - Boneless chicken with gravy of tomato, cashew nut, honey, butter, kasuri methi and garam masala
Classic Mutton Curry - Cubes of lamb with gravy of yoghurt, onion, cloves, cardamon and cinnamon.
Vegetable - Florets of cauliflower, carrots and snow peas sauteed with garlic, chilli, onions and tomatoes
And served with Kesari Pulao - Saffron flavored basmati rice
Yellow Dai Tadka - Yellow Moong lentils tempered in ghee with onions, tomato and red chilli
Though the servings look small, we have had a hard time finishing our food ;p I enjoyed the different types of curries a lot and stuffed my stomach to the maximum ;p The food was rich and smooth yet not spicy~
Dessert We called this "Indian Ice-cream" lol ~ All right, we don't know it's authentic name but it's too sweet for us ... I only have a few slips and that's it ~
Service at Tandoor was excellent; the restaurant's official closing hour was at 10.30pm but we stayed to chat since there were other diners around. We left at 11.30pm with the last group of diners and the staff did not even wink an eyelid. They continued with their usual routine for closure and even refilled our water! Whoo la ... this is something that we rarely experience in Singapore and this definitely added on to our good experience in Tandoor.
