I recently dined here at tandoori garden, and I must express my profound disappointment. As a passionate lover of Indian cuisine who has explored authentic dishes across India, this experience ranks among the worst in my life.
The ordeal began with beers that tasted like soap; upon requesting a change, the excuse provided was blaming the beer brand, an explanation that seemed dubious. The culinary disaster continued with sauces for the papadom featuring non-fresh ingredients, specifically a mint syrup that left a distasteful impression.
The rogan Josh was excessively greasy and predominantly tasted of tomato, failing to capture the essence of this classic dish. The tandoori chicken was equally disappointing, resembling unfrozen chicken with an artificial tandoori flavor. To compound matters, the plate included unwanted and unpleasant lamb, not ordered by us.
The Dahl, a dish known for its rich flavours, mainly tasted of cream, lacking the authentic taste it should possess. When we sought an explanation from the waiter, we were informed that the food is tailored to European standards, particularly those of English patrons.
This approach is unacceptable, as it undermines the true essence of Indian cuisine. While the waiter was polite, the excuse of catering to European standards left me bewildered. I would appreciate a response from the owner regarding the subpar quality of the food served, as this experience was far from the standard one would expect from an...
Read moreWe love Indian food and tried three different Indian restaurants on our recent holiday to Corralejo. This one is the only one we chose to return to due to the exceptional food, excellent service and relaxed ambience.
We have eaten Indian food all over the world and can hands down say that this was one of the best meals we have ever eaten. The food is seasoned to perfection with flavours delicately balanced. The food here was far superior to the other local Indian restaurants we visited. The dishes we ordered were cooked exactly as we had requested them and the portion sizes were the most generous we came across during our stay - including free poppadoms & chutney tray (other nearby Indian restaurants charged for these & portions were significantly smaller).
However, what really sets this restaurant aside for me is the service from the front of house staff. Unlike other Indian restaurants we visited in Corralejo where service was rushed and lacked warmth and friendliness, the service here was second to none. We were made to feel at home & welcomed back on our second visit as if we were old friends. If visiting Corralejo - try this place out. You...
Read moreBeen living in Fuerteventura for over 2 years and have been consistently disappointed by Indian restaurants... Until I discovered Tandoori Garden! We had vegetable bhuna, chicken madras curry, palak paneer, naan, pilau rice and roti. Every single dish was good! And I'm a picky eater that likes high quality, well spiced food. The fact that the food doesn't come out of the kitchen after 5min is a great sign to me. Not to mention our waiter, Viraj, that was the best! How nice is it to have a waiter actually listen to what you're ordering and comment or make recommendations to your order? Letting us know how one dish might be too spicy, or how we might be ordering too much bread in one go. He is a great waiter and deserves a mention in this review! The other staff members we exchanged with were also super adorable. I really enjoyed our experience and this is going to be my go to Indian place in Northern Fuerteventura! Can't wait to try out...
