India is the birth place of Chicken Tikka Masala and Curries. Indian foods are prepared with a blend of finely mixed spices quite popular across the region. The spices develop the rich taste in Indian food enough to boggle your mind.

The Indians also brought their very own vibrant, colorful, and aromatic authentic dishes for the people in the West. While most of the Indian population is Vegetarian, Indian food is great for people who are looking for vegan or vegetarian food option. If you are a Meat lover, don't get disappointed yet.

Family of three dined for early Saturday dinner. Environment was clean, quiet, bright, though one has to look a bit for the restaurant after exiting off Old Cheney Road. Server was young, and perhaps beginning, but overall service was fine. My wife enjoys Indian food more than I do, and she was impressed with the options and food quality. I had mixed grill kabobs and they were great. I found the spiced food was just fine for me, though I understand if some view the cuisine as a bit Americanized. We tried several appetizers, had three entrees, and multiple glasses of wine among us, and total bill was under $90. I enjoyed the meal experience, better than my past visits to the better-known Oven.

I have been to this place multiple times and have really tried to like it simply because many of my friends enjoy it. However, try as I might to like it, I really really can't find anything I like here. I hate spicy food and have told my servers that every time. Yet, I somehow have continued to end up with food that is WAY too spicy for my liking... so much so that I can't eat more than a few bites. The one thing I thought I really would like, the naan, has been burned every single time I've been here. On our last visit, my husband's food was presented in such a disgusting manner that he could not even eat it. The look and smell actually made him gag. They were very kind and offered to make him something different, but after the first encounter, he refused. I have given up trying to like this place... Kudos the people who love it, but it simply isn't for me.

I have never been disappointed when going to tandoor. In my opinion tandoor is better than the more expensive Oven. The food is always delicious; my favorite dishes are the steak kabob and chicken shahi korma (chicken in cashew and raisin sauce). The naan is always good and the mulligatawny soup is as well. If you like chai tea you can get a full pot of it for only 3 bucks. The atmosphere is not super fancy but its nice and the food comes out quickly. When I have the willpower not to eat it all I take half home since you get a pretty large serving.

Though it's lacking a bit in atmosphere, the food was WONDERFUL! We happily drive across town for the delicious Chicken Madras and Bhutanese Chicken. So good!

Stopped here driving through Lincoln. The location was in a very nice area. The food was very good. Service Excellent! The Lassi was different... it seemed more like a smoothie. There was something about the food that didn't seem authentic... but taste was good and the portions were generous. Overall I was pleased.
(5)Samantha P.
I absolutely love Indian food - it is my favorite food I'm the world. To a point where if I could only have one food for the rest of my life I would choose Chicken Tikka Korma, and "The Tandoor" is by far my favorite restaurant in Lincoln. The food never disappoints and the service is good. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. If you are looking for an Indian restaurant in Lincoln this is the place to go!

Hands down the best Indian food I have had! The portion sizes are awesome; well worth what you pay for! The wait staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. After recently moving to Lincoln, this is an establishment we have visited multiple times and look forward to coming back many more! Oh! Try the House Naan! You won't be dissapointed!

I have been going to this restaurant since it opened in 1999. The place may not have quite the classy atmosphere of The Oven but looks great after a recent remodel. The quality of the food is very comparable to that of the other Lincoln staple. The prices are slightly less and the portion sizes are outstanding. My wife is always able to take home enough for lunch the next day. The takeout service is very busy anytime we visit and the lunch menu is very reasonably priced. Now to the food, the naan bread is the best in Lincoln. They have authentic tandoori ovens where you can see the chef toast the bread until it comes out steaming and crunchy on the outside but soft and buttery on the inner. The mulligatawny soup is slightly more watery than most restaurants but this is made up by the fragrant basmati rice. The main courses are impressive, I tend to order lamb dishes as it's hard to find quality lamb here in Lincoln. I like a good sloppy lamb curry so opt for a light Lamb Korma curry made with coconut or a spicy tomato influenced Rogan Josh. My wife prefers chicken so often gets the most popular and internationally recognized India dish, Chicken Tikka Korma. The Tikka Korma is always sweet and tender with a light but tangy red sauce. I always explain to people it's basically a good starter dish for the novice much like sweet and sour chicken for Chinese food. If you do not like actually curry's they have fantastic grilled Chicken Tandoori which is prepared on metal skewers and grilled in their oven. If you want a good Indian beer to cool the palate try a King Fisher in a large bottle. They also have a good wine selection. If your looking for a nice cooling drink that's non alcoholic try one of India's best secrets a Lassi. Similar to a smoothie made with ice, milk and fruit. They come in mango (my personal favorite) or strawberry. These drinks have been proven to cool the mouth and stomach after a good onslaught.

Good food all around, and very authentic - no more or less hot than this food should be. This is the best Indian restaurant we've found in Nebraska. Not sure what the California dude on this page was expecting, but our samosas came with a spot-on raita, and the whole mix went well with the excellent, just-chalky-enough sweet lassi. Nothing was amazing, but everything was very good. I was completely satisfied with the value. I especially enjoyed the ability to order generous plate of hot pickle on the side for basically pocket change.

I've ordered out from here a couple of times and been impressed. Since relocating to Lincoln I've always gone to Sher-Pun-Jab (and will continue to) but if you're looking for an Indian option on the south side of town, this is a good one. It's in what I think looks like a specialty/expensive shopping area so I assumed it would be too. But I was wrong! Prices are comparable to other Indian cuisine in town. The first time we ordered, I went out of my comfort zone and ordered Thimphu Chicken (boneless chicken curried with onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, cauliflower and potatoes in a light creamy sauce). It was delicious! Light on the spices. My husband got the Tandoori Chicken (half). Between us, we had enough rice and leftovers for another meal or two. Meals come with rice and mulligatawny stew. Because of the portions, the second time we just ordered the Tandoori chicken meal (full) and split it. We did NOT order the dinner for two option, just the regular dinner. And we STILL had leftovers. AND in comparison to Sher-Pun-Jab, the tandoori chicken here blows it out of the water. It's very good, very moist. And the mulligatawny is comparably good. We'll keep coming here, maybe we'll eat in next time.

The best Indian food in lincoln. Price is reasonable. The food is always on point. Beats THE OVEN in quality, portions, and price. The only bit of criticism is that it seems like it's family own/ran so the service could be better. BUT nothing too extreme
(5)Heather A.
Best Indian food in Lincoln! I recommend the Nan with cashews and raisins. Their soup is amazing. I haven't disliked a single dish yet. Everyone claims that the Oven is the best. The Oven has the ambience but very high prices and okay food. This little place doesn't have much Decor but the food is amazing and the prices are good. I don't go for the ambience I go for the food.
(5)Marie B.
The Indian food is about as authentic as the Asian staff. Friendly service, but slow and strangely uninformed. I asked if they had tamarind chutney to which he replied "I don't know." I'm pretty sure the mint chutney was some kind of ranch dressing. The mulligatawny was a better choice than the mustard salad. MUSTARD y'all. The papadum seemed to be poured from the pan of oil they fried it in rather than lifted out. I spent the next hour resisting the overwhelming urge to pat it with my cloth napkin. The masoor dal was pretty good but the aloo gobi, my favorite dish, was a miss. And the naan... I could not diagnose the problem but I think it started with being undercooked and burned at the same time. To sum it up, it's probably better than fast food and will do in a pinch, but it ain't really gonna hit your Indian food spot.
(2)Echo D.
They have many different naan. They were all good. Food spicy level satisfied me finally. I love freaking spicy food. Nice service and good price.
(4)Alex P.
The food is very consistent and traditional. The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes. The madras lamb is my favorite but I really can't complain about anything I've had from their menu and I've had almost everything they serve! Hands down the best Indian in Lincoln along with mother India in Omaha!!!

Let's start with I LOVE INDIAN CUISINE!!! My favorite place in OC was a little family owned/run hole in the wall in Huntington Beach. So upon moving to Lincoln, I searched for the same here. Tandoor was very close. The atmosphere was great and the servers very attentive, however it's hard not to be attentive when we are the only customers, the place was EMPTY. Of course it was rather late on a weekday. I ordered one of my favorite appetizers, samosas and was really looking forward to it's potato-y goodness...dipped in the simpleness of the traditional sweet, yet somehow sour without being sour sauce. That was when the first disappointment hit. It wasn't served with the traditional sauce, instead we got something more like ranch dressing. My craving of 2 weeks....was not satisfied on this visit. My Chicken Korma however was excellent although again, I'm used to it coming with a few cherries in it, but I know not all recipes are the same!! On MY meal alone this place would get 4 stars but.... My fiance was with me and this was his very first and possibly last experience with Indian Cuisine, which saddens me. He does not handle spice well at all. We informed the waiter and asked for the dish with the very very least amount of heat in it. He suggested the tandoori shrimp and that he would tell the chef to make it with no heat...no spice...completely mild. I had my worries...tandoori shrimp is not known for it's mildness. Well, he gets his dish and both of our eyes start to water as soon as it hit the table. He took one bite and immediately started choking down water and whatever else he could get down to try to kill the spice. I took a bite and just about did the same. I am a person who can down a bottle of Tabasco and think it was tomato juice and I could not handle his dish. I don't know if this was a burp in the kitchen communication or a cruel joke on the wimp, but I was horrified that this happened. He vowed to never eat Indian again... The staff didn't seem like it mattered much to them so sadly, it gets 2 stars.

Unfortunately I can't rate Tandoor as high as others - my visit was a nightmare. Visited on a sweltering hot day, and it just so happens the a/c was broken. So here I am dripping with sweat before my meal even arrives. I ordered the tikki korma, and the chicken was so dry I had to chase it with water to avoid choking. I'd like to give Tandoor a second shot, but it'll be down the road a while.
(2)Ryan T.
I've tried Indian food in several major cities in the US, and I have yet to find a place outside of Lincoln that even compares to Tandoor. The service is fast and friendly - they know my name there. The flavor is different than The Indian Oven but is incredible. I always get the Chicken Tikka Korma and it's delicious. Everything on the menu is really great. The restaurant isn't super nice, but is good for a business lunch or family dinner. If you're unfamiliar with Indian, the staff are very knowledgable and can help you pick something you'll like.
(5)Dan S.
Best Indian food in Lincoln. The Bhutanese Chicken and Tendi Naan are the only thing I order and they are amazing!
(5)Rumil B.
A little pricy but super delicious. We got three different dishes, all of them left us saying "yum!" instead of "well that was alright I guess," which is what usually happens at the Oven. I loved mine in particular, the thimpu chicken, and the garlic naan as a starter is a must. Took a little while for our food to get to us, and I'm never in this part of town, but I'd say it's definitely worth the wait and the drive and the price.
(4)ISellGolfStuff A.
Respectable Indian cuisine. I've had better, but I've also had much MUCH worse. I got the Lamb Korma (my go-to Indian food standard) and it was very good. I've come back a few times and have never been disappointed. The portions are large; two people can split one entrée with an extra plate of rice. Prices are great if you're splitting, but a little high for a single person. $14 for Lamb Korma isn't the most I've ever paid *ahem* The Oven*ahem* but I would have felt better about $12. The naan here is great too. I typically get the Kashmiri naan (here called house naan) and they don't skimp on cashews or raisins here. Overall, in my top 3 Indian Restaurants in Lincoln, and for sure the best one in South Pointe. Give it a try!
(4)Bryan E.
Love Indian food and this is the first time I've been to Tandoor. The atmosphere isn't as good as The Oven but the food is better. Huge portions. Ordered the Goa Lamb and have enough for lunch tomorrow too.
(4)Jeffrey D.
I needed to get out of the house so why not go for dinner? Tandoor is close to the supermarket so why not? I have never had food prepared in a tandoori oven (charcoal) that I know of so another why not? It was not very busy so we managed to get our meal quickly. We tried the garlic and raisin bread. Both were delicious. Then a curry soup to get started. I had the mixed grill and my wife the red curry and she actually got it nearly as hot as she liked it. The service was good and the food was good too. The prices were decent. Overall, a decent meal at a decent price.
(3)David N.
I ate there tonight. Awesome, love it! The Chutney is fantastic. It's spicy, but I love it. The naan is served hot, I recommend the garlic naan. I had the seek kabob, for the first time, kind of like sausage cooked on a stick in the oven. It's good. I also recommend you get a side of tikka korma sauce, if you like spicy food that is, to dip your meat, or naan into, if the chutney is not enough. The soup is very good too.
(5)Karma J.
I love Indian cuisine. this is probably the best chicken tikka masala I have ever had because we don't live in NE and we go to every Indian restaurant we find. Solely because my husband loves chicken tikka masala. They call it chicken tikka korma in this restaurant. My husband loves it. For some reason, he can eat the spicy chicken tikka korma but not my spiky cooking at home. Oh, you should def. try the stuffed nuns. Our favorite is Tendi nun, it's their own recipe. Might want to ask less spicy if you can't handle any spices at all! Coz it has a tiny amount of spice in it. Ohhhh it's so good!!!! And their Thimphu chicken, their own again! But again, ask for less spice.
(5)Sarah K.
Tandoor has pretty good Indian food overall, but the lamb shahi korma is absolutely delicious and I still haven't found a better dish anywhere else. In regards to beverages, they provide a generous portion of wine by the glass. The service is hit or miss though, which is the only thing keeping it from getting five stars.
(4)Greg S.
We went on a snowy wintery day and the place was nearly empty. It seems like their to-go service was busier than the inside. First I'd like to say the NAAN is great. We got the jalapeno cheese and the standard garlic naan. We used the jalapeno cheese as a starter. The yogurt base dipping sauce was spot on. I ordered the lamb curry and it was very good. My wife ordered a chicken tikki korma and it was moist and well cooked. I liked her meal more than mine, but my curry was better than the oven for sure. Overall it dethroned the oven as the 'best' Indian food in Lincoln easily. The reason why it didn't get 5 stars is because the rose water dumplings. That was the most disgusting dessert I've ever hand. EVER. It was like eating a flower.
(4)Elisa V.
We got here for lunch 8 minutes before they closed and they were really nice the whole visit. The mulligatawny (?) soup was very tasty as was the basmati rice. I had a rose lassi and it was good, but did not have as strong of a rose flavor as i am used to or prefer. The rose flavor was actually not detectable by me. The chicken tikke korma was pretty good, but my kids and i did not like the chicken masala. The tandoori chicken was really enjoyed by my husband. We would eat here again.
(4)Stefan N.
Hit there last night at dinner rush. Place was very busy. Ok I understand we might have to wait and service might be a little slow, we're not in a hurry. Here's the thing: At least make eye contact with me and tell me that you acknowledge my presence instead of acting like I don't exist. We finally get to sit down and have a leisurely dinner. Food was so-so. Soup was cold, my main dish wasn't very flavorful. Even after the rush slowed and there were empty tables, service was still poor. My wife finally got up herself to go refill her water glass. The other thing that bugged me is that the place is kind of dirty. scuff marks on walls, doors, raggedy curtain by entrance. Not a very positive experience.
(1)Phil W.
After eating at every Indian place in Lincoln, I can honestly say that this place is, by far, the best in Lincoln. Several of my Indian friends agree!
(5)Brandon B.
This is the best Indian food I have had in Lincoln. Hands down better than The Oven, and a little better than Sher-E-Punjab. The mulligatawny soup was the perfect mix of spicy and sour, with just the right amount of cilantro on top. The House Bread was chock-full of raisins and cashews, delicious, hot and filling. We had chicken and lamb, and couldn't stop eating... Flavorful and perfect for a Friday night dinner.
(5)matt g.
Wonderful food. Of course vegetarian mulligatawny which is the best and the garlic naan is fantastic. It is weird I now live in San Francisco and I can't find vegetarian mulligatawny anywhere. It is absolutely wonderful!!!
(5)Kitchen I.
This is a great find. We were in the Oven rut for a long time -- three years, in fact, since moving here -- and we're thrilled to find this place! The Mr and I have lived in a number of major international cities before coming to Lincoln, so we have a pretty broad spectrum for comparison. The malai kofta is a thing of beauty, chicken tikka korma is really good, and the various types of naan are all outstanding here - freshly made. Careful on the spicy scale - they mean business - so if in doubt and not a huge spicy fan, ask for a 2. Just a note for those who are unfamiliar with India and its cuisine... To the person who wrote: "The Indian food is about as authentic as the Asian staff. Friendly service, but slow and strangely uninformed. I asked if they had tamarind chutney to which he replied "I don't know." I'm pretty sure the mint chutney was some kind of ranch dressing." I suggest taking a look at a map. The "Asian" staff you are dismissing as inauthentic is Bhutanese. Did you know that India is right next to China? Bhutan -- the kind of food this place specializes in -- is a country, and it's right between indian and China, like Nepal and Tibet. That's why the people looked "Asian" (by which I assume you meant "Chinese," since Indians are also Asian - South Asian) to you. They are. The "mint chutney" wasn't mint chutney or "some kind of ranch dressing." It's Bhutanese raita, a yogurt-based sauce eaten with spicy food. Don't be misled by the uninformed - this place is excellent.
(4)Solomon H.
Food is always prepare after you ordered. Bread with the green is awesome, might be a little spicy for some. I love it! I have Bhutanese chicken & asked for spicy sauce.
(4)Susan N.
For consistently good Indian food and consistently good service, this is a safe bet for visiting family and friends. And for those of us who live here, it's a great neighborhood treasure.
