Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tandoor Char House offers a delightful culinary experience with "outstanding food" and "excellent service." The restaurant is praised for its welcoming atmosphere and generous portions, perfect for both seasoned and first-time Indian cuisine enthusiasts. Their "tandoor mix grill platter" and "mango cheesecake" are must-tries. Despite occasional service delays, the cozy, BYOB setting and "friendly staff" make it a popular choice for many.

    This was a first visit to Tandoor and it was a great choice! We don't normally travel out of our south Chicago bubble but made the trek to Lincoln Park to use a gift certificate. First of all, the welcome and service we received was outstanding. We felt like we had been invited to have dinner in a home. While we over-ordered, we were thrilled about our choices, and the leftovers that we enjoyed for several days. We started with the Chaat fries (think Arby's curly fries with Indian spices) and the Vegetable Samosas (Phenomenal). For mains we shared the Tandoor Mix Grill platter which came out sizzling and fresh to the table, as well as the Aloo Gobi, a vegetarian combo of potato, tomato, onion and cauliflower (WOW -- so, so good). There was also complimentary Padadum (thin lentil crackers) served with a variety of dipping condiments. We were warned that the Achar (a pickled Indian version of giardiniera) was hot but we didn't find it extreme. The cilantro chutney was delicious -- I would have taken a gallon of that home! A Masala sauce came with the vegetarian dish -- also excellent. And, though we didn't have room, we took home a servings of Gulab Jamun (mini donut holes soaked in a syrup) and Mango cheesecake. Both were amazing. We can't wait to go back and try some of the other menu items. PS Also tried a mango mojito mock tail - yum! Next time I'll get a Lassi PSS NAAN -- Don't forget the (garlic) Naan!

    Wow, this unassuming family-run storefront is a real find. All the hits - naan, biryanis, butter chicken, chutneys, seekh kabob, tandoori grilled specialties, wings, a fantastic chicken empanada appetizer, aloo gobi, tasty kulfi for dessert. Friendly service. Highly recommend.

    The experience was absolutely amazing! The owner was there the night my boyfriend and I had dinner and he talked about the history behind the recipes on the menu. The food was delicious, drinks were great, and ambience of the restaurant is perfect for any occasion. Will be back and definitely recommend anyone check this restaurant out.

    Friendly staff on a busy night. The tasting menu for 2 easily could have fed 4. The quality of every dish was outstanding especially the tiki masala and lamb dishes.

    Good food (and a lot of it) but extremely slow service. We sat for our 7:30 reservation, then it took an hour for us to get even our drink order taken and the salad from a pre fixed menu.

    TERRIBLE. Server constantly forgot about us. The other servers asked everyone what spice level they wanted but ours never asked. Our food came out so mild and bland it was disgusting. I will never be back. This is the first bad review I've ever written after going to thousands of restaurants. Yes, it was that bad.

    The food was amazing and plentiful. We got great recommendations on the menu from our server and they did not disappoint. The tables are very small for the about of food they bring, but we made it work. Be prepared for leftovers.. Overall, a great date night.
