Tandoori Darbar — Restaurant in Kolkata

This restaurant is a hidden gem for all the North Indian and Chinese foodlovers in Kolkata. Last week while passing by the Hazra Xerox Market, I and my friends made a sudden plan to visit this place. So we went there to fulfil our sudden cravings. The place is air conditioned and has a nice sitting arrangement with sofas and chairs. I loved the lights they used for decorations. The staff was courteous and helpful. We had ordered - Schezwan Chicken, Two plain naan, Chicken Kadai(Medium) Service was quick. Just after 5-6mintd of ordering, the starter Schezwan chicken had arrived. It was so much mouth watering that I am still now drooling at the thought of it. It had total 8 pieces of chicken. Size of naan was big and they were soft. Chicken kadai was suggested by the staff there as we were searching some spicy side dishes. Though it was not that spicy what we were expecting, gravy of this chicken kadai was heavenly. All three of us just loved it really. There were 4 chicken pieces in it. It was perfect for naan. Chicken in both the dishes was juicy,soft, well cooked and almost boneless. Pocket pinch here is not that much if you are not going there by yourself. So it is a must try place, specially for North...

The restaurant is located on the busy road thus making it very easy to locate. Great place for a family meal.

They followed all the Covid-19 protocols in their outlet starting from sanitising, checking the body temperature, giving paper plates and disposable cutlery. However, the disposable cutlery was of plastic. They should switch it to a much environment friendly alternative.

The food took quite some time to be prepared. The waiting time was too lengthy.

Along with that there was loud chaos between the restaurant and the zomato and swiggy delivery men. Honestly, one likes to go into a restaurant to spend some quality time with their friends or family. We were constantly getting interrupted by the banter caused downstairs between the delivery personnel and the restaurant staff.

Now coming to the food, it tasted alright. The portions were also good enough. We had ordered: Roti, Paneer Dopyaza, Egg Hakka Noodles and...

'Tis the time to be jolly. Although there shouldn't be a particular time to celebrate happiness still if one chooses a particular day or season to do it then so be it. A lot of small incidents happen in your life , the little things that need to be celebrated. One such little joy today took me to this restaurant at Hazra crossing after 8 long years. Tandoori darbar is known for its north indian dishes but have you ever tried their Indianised Chinese platters? If not, then you should. Memories were refreshed and palate was happy. The chilli chicken had the right amount of coating , spice and gravy. The chicken egg fried rice didn't give us any reason to complain. The tried and tested combination won again. The cutlery was disposable one and was charged a meagre 30 rupees. Overall a pleasantly average experience 3/5
