Tandoori junction — Restaurant in Mountain View

Helloooooo my spicy little chickpeas! Your queen Mother Masala is GAGGING over the flavor explosion I just experienced at Tandoori Junction! Four snaps in a Z-formation for this flavorful feast that had me living my best curry fantasy, hunty!

That Chicken 65 Biryani was serving BODY-ODY-ODY with its perfectly cooked rice and that chicken giving me all the seasoned drama I needed! Was it spicier than the backstage tea at a pageant? Absolutely! But mama didn't raise no seasoning-shy queen!

The Butter Chicken? DIVINE! Creamy, luxurious, and richer than my ex's new boyfriend. That sauce was so velvety I wanted to sew it into a gown and werk the runway!

Now the Palak Aloo threw some green realness that had me saying "Yes, spinach! Work that potato! Serve that nutrition!" It was giving healthy goddess while still bringing the flavor dance party!

That garlic naan? STUN-NING! Freshly baked, glistening with buttery goodness like my highlighter after a good setting spray. Though I had to get all diva and remind them I ordered it – don't make a queen wait for her carbs, darling!

The service? Well... let's just say it was more chaotic than my first time in five-inch platforms. A bit of confusion on the dance floor, if you know what I mean. Menus after ordering? A chai I didn't ask for? My Mango Lassi playing hide and seek? The drama!

Four stars, my lovelies! The flavors were IT, but the service needs a little choreography lesson. Might stick to takeout next time – this queen can't handle another encore of "where's my...

As someone from Delhi and a true foodie, I’ve always been on the hunt for Indian food in the U.S. that actually tastes like home. Tandoori Junction absolutely nailed it! We ordered Chole Bhature, Afghani Soya Chaap, Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta, and Garlic Naan, and every single dish was outstanding. The chole had that perfect balance of spice and tang, and the bhature were fluffy yet crisp—not greasy at all. The Afghani Soya Chaap was marinated beautifully, with a rich, creamy texture that melted in the mouth. The Saag Paneer had that earthy, comforting flavor, just like a good Punjabi dhaba. And the Malai Kofta—hands down, the best I’ve had outside India—perfectly soft koftas in a luscious, mildly sweet gravy. The Garlic Naan was fresh, with just the right amount of chew and a great garlicky kick. Owner Avi personally checked on us and even brought complimentary tea while we waited for a table—a truly warm touch. I honestly don’t think I’ve found better-tasting Indian food in the U.S. This place is as close as it gets to the real deal. Can’t wait to come back...

Decided to try this restaurant on a whim when my husband and I were browsing a local bookstore one night. I was hesitant to try it because I recently haven’t been too happy with a local Indian restaurants around, but decided to give this one a try. What I ordered from the restaurant was the tandoori chicken, rice, and naan bread. When I took my first bite, it took me back to the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The chicken was flavorful, juicy, and spicy. The rice was seasoned well, and the naan bread was prepared well too. My husband ordered the malai kofta and the paneer masala. He was it was spicy, delicious, and the exact flavor profile he was looking for. I’ve only had food to go, but the inside is small and comfortable. I love the fact that this restaurant is open late night, it makes it super easy to come in order food and not have to worry about closing time. Customer service has always been amazing and the servers cashiers and owner have all been incredibly nice! Highly recommend if you’re in the downtown Mountain View area. It was the best I’ve...
