Tandoori Guys - Oceanside - Restaurant & Catering — Restaurant in Oceanside

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tandoori Guys just set the gold standard for Indian food and customer service—and I owe a huge shoutout to Akash for making my last-minute order feel like top priority. I placed an Uber Eats order just before closing, and not only did they accept it without hesitation, they absolutely knocked it out of the park!

Let’s start with the food: I ordered lamb biriyani, butter chicken, garlic naan, and sev dahi puri—with a special request for extra achaar (Indian pickles), which they included generously.

The butter chicken was heavenly. The chicken was perfectly tender, almost melting in my mouth, coated in a rich, velvety sauce that had just the right balance of creaminess and spice. The garlic naan? Outrageously good—steaming hot, fluffy yet crisp around the edges, with just the right char and fragrant garlic that hit all the right notes. It had that perfect pull and tear texture you only get from a truly fresh bake.

Now the lamb biriyani—wow. Juicy, flavorful chunks of lamb tucked into beautifully seasoned basmati rice with layers of spices that built gradually. Every bite was warm, savory, and deeply satisfying.

And I can’t forget the sev dahi puri. Each puri was a burst of flavor and texture: crispy shells filled with tangy yogurt, spicy chutney, and crunchy sev that popped with flavor. It was the kind of dish that makes you pause after the first bite and just smile.

What impressed me most was how quickly they got it all together and packaged it so neatly—utensils included, everything sealed and still piping hot on arrival. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers this level of quality and care on such short notice.

Akash, thank you for your outstanding service and attention to detail. You turned a last-minute dinner into an unforgettable meal. Tandoori Guys just earned a loyal...

First off, the smell of this place is recognizable from the sidewalk and draws your attention to the inside. With plenty of seating it’s hard to choose where to enjoy your meal. The bar is tempting with its cleanliness and selection of drinks. The waiter is really nice, not over your shoulder and understands the boundaries. He is more than willing to help you with whatever you’d like, however don’t take advantage as there is only one of him and a lot of customers. The food is out of this world delicious and they give you so much that you will have enough for the next day. I ordered Lamb Byrani spice level 7 and it was perfect for me. I was leaking out of my nose just a little bit but was still able to savor every flavor and enjoy my meal. I left nothing to waste. The waiter said the honey sesame chicken wasn’t spicy but my child disagreed and was left a little disappointed however was quickly turned around and happy once she got her Paneer Tikka Masala and rice. She dipped our Garlic Naan bread in the sauce and filled her belly quickly...

I’ve been to other Indian restaurants and most of them would make me feel bloated after just a few bites or even food poisoning the next morning, but this place doesn’t make me feel like that at all. I haven’t experienced food poisoning once at this place and I highly recommend it to people who are looking for some delicious Indian food. The way they make their tikka masala sauce whether its the Panner Tikka Marsala or Chicken Tikka Marsala it’s so freaking good! Also, their appetizers are worth trying. They have a lot of vegetarian options and even Chinese food. And the way they make their mango lassi is so creamy and delicious. It’s the best dessert I’ve ever had. The people who work at this place are from India, and they have really good fluency in English which I find professional at a restaurant. It’s...
