Tandoor — Restaurant in Região Imediata de São Paulo

The restaurant is located in house refurbished for the business. Do not expect the typical layout. There are a few tables distributed along the house with the main area located in what it used to be an open air patio. The restaurant has no parking/valet parking (which are common in Sāo Paulo). They have a special fare with a parking lot located in a hotel 70 meters away from the restaurant. We ordered Garlic Naan, lamb curry (Gosht Korma) for my wife and when I was about to order my Gosht Kolnapburi (spicy lamb) the waiter told us not to do it. He said "One plate is enough for two people". Be aware, one plate per person and order rice because it's not included. The curry wasn't good. It had no taste at all. I traveled to southeast Asia and tried a lot of Indian restaurants so I know what to expect from the curry. It's basically made of spices and coconut milk so there will be a lot of tastes mixing in your mouth with each bite or sip of curry. The meat was good and tender but it had no flavor at all. The Spicy Lamb was better and I could actually taste the flavors I was expecting from it. The garlic naan bread also lacked flavor. It tasted like plain naan. The atmosphere was relaxed and on Saturday night at 10 PM...

Worst Indian food in Sao Paulo so far. You shouldn't have high expectations for authentic Indian food -especially north Indian food in Sao Paulo. I tried this place after trying another restaurant (Reet) in Moema. The moment I walked in, I asked the waiter if the cook is Indian. He said no and I should have walked out but since I was already there, I gave it a shot. The samosa were served without any condiments (no chutnee, no raita). I asked for it and later noticed on the bill that I was charged extra for it. The samosas were ok. For the main course ordered chicken (murgh) Biryani and Baigan Bharta (eggplant). I have lived in India and know Indian food as I grew up with it. The Biryani and the Bharta were nowhere near what they should taste or look like. The food had no flavor and chicken tikka masala was reused for Baigan Bharta! The rice for Biryani was not basmaati rice as it must be. The chicken was hard and there was no flavor inside. But again, it was to be expected as the neither the cook or the staff is Indian in this restaurant. It is mind boggling to me why this place has so many good reviews and I wonder how many of these good reviews are by folks who are either from the Indian origin or really understand...

A good spot for hearty Indian food! The menu is quite elaborate, featuring several unique dishes that you don’t often find in most Indian restaurants. The curries were flavorful and exciting across the board, though the chicken tended to be a bit dry in every dish.

What truly stood out was the service — Filippo was an excellent server who made up for the minor food shortcomings with his attentiveness and warmth.

On the ambience side, there’s definitely room for improvement. When you first walk in, the empty front hall can make it seem like the restaurant isn’t busy. Most guests are seated in the back room, but the lighting there is uneven — bright spotlights on the paintings make it a bit uncomfortable for diners sitting directly underneath them.

Overall, I’d still give it a good rating for its flavorful food and outstanding service. With a few tweaks to the ambience, this place could easily...
