My girlfriend and I were in the Peterborough area for the day and wanted to get some dinner before leaving town. We decided to check out The Imperial Tandoor because we had been curious to try for a long time now.

We were quickly greeted and seated on the patio which we had asked for.

The dinner experience at The Imperial Tandoor was great. Our server was attentive and was able to answer the questions that we had with the menu. They promptly brought us glass bottles of cold water which we enjoyed.

We began our dinner by ordering the samosas appetizer. The presentation of the samosas was very nice. They were piping hot and came with two sauces that both had great flavour. The samosas themselves tasted amazing. The seasoning was on point. The pastry itself was nice and thin. I would highly recommend the samosas.

For our main course we ordered the Chana Masala and Chicken Biryani with a couple butter naan on the side.

The serving dishes and presentation of the entrees were top notch. Very visually appealing. But of course it's about the taste. How did these entrees fair?

Well the Chicken Biryani was delicious. There were several chunks of nice and tender white meat. Very flavorful. The rice was cooked just right. It was very good.

The Chana Masala was also a homerun. Such great flavours and had a good level of heat (which we had asked for). The chick peas were very delicious.

The butter naan was also great. Nice and thin naan that was clearly freshly baked.

I would recommend all these dishes. It was a great dinner experience. Great food with a fantastic presentation. Great service. Very friendly and attentive. My girlfriend and I left quite full and were able to take home our leftovers. Very nice.
