Best

My favorite Indian place to eat at or order from in New Jersey!

Worst

Decent. Not great. Charging for papadums. Really?

Tandoori Chef 5/9/2011

You have to go here, their food is AMAZING!!! I have had my share of Indian Cuisine, but at Tandoori Chef, the staff are professional and polite, the food is always fresh and nothing is overpriced. I find myself eating something from there atleast once a week, (usually their Na'an and Paneer). I am completely addicted. I have finally found my happy place! Keep up the great work!! :-) more

Most authentic Indian food in Northern NJ 4/18/2011

We love eating out and are always looking for restaurants serving authentic food. Tandoori Chef on Main Street in Hackensack, NJ is a hidden gem. After a long time, we found ourselves wanting to go to an Indian restaurant almost every week! If you ever crave for fresh naan and home-made ""maa ki dal"", go to Tandoori Chef. Very friendly staff, good service and the best Indian food I have had in Northern NJ at very reasonable prices. more

Check this review if u wanna visit this place 2/13/2010

Hi I am saravan. we love the food at this place...specially tandoori items. Almost every week we order food from here. But Yesterday when we ordered the food , For the first time we had a problem with the spices..... it had very less salt and the food was extremly mild.....which we dont like at all. We ordered biryani for the first time and it had bellpepers in that which we hate to eat.we went back to return the food. The worst part has started now........The manager working over there was such a stu........(I dont want to fill it completly) that He was unable to talk or communicate. Instead of convincing us, he called a gal who was working there and asked her to talk with us. Oh My God! It was such a funny situation. The waitress spoke with manners and returned our money back. Guys food is good here........along with food u can get gud entertainment too.......... Pros: food Cons: service more

Great place for quality Indian food 10/23/2009

I had been to Tandoori Chef last week with my friends.The combination seems to be working out quite nicely. They got the energy and attention to offer quality food. Together they've created a restaurant that isn't going to set the world on fire creatively but delivers delicious food at an affordable price in a smart setting. Pros: Best Indian Cusine in Hackensack and near by Places more

I had been to Tandoori Chef last week with my friends.The combination seems to be working out quite nicely. They got the energy and attention to offer quality food. Together they've created a restaurant that isn't going to set the world on fire creatively but delivers delicious food at an affordable price in a smart setting. Admittedly, at first glance, the restaurant seemed very pleasant with vibrant colors and with familiar items like Achari Mushroom, Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Biryani, Lamd Vindaloo, Bread Basket and Mango Lassi etc. marching down and hitting all the sweet spots with best-loved dishes. But it's the execution of the dishes that's telling, the way they go together, making the balance and finesse. Lastly waiters and waitress are very friendly.

Total disappointment 10/5/2009

Management has poor and unprofessional service; not responsive. There are many upscale competitive indian restaurants that provide value for your money. and very well aware of high level customer service. It seemed the service at this place does not even come close to some of the average restaurants in the area. Freinds, trust me on this , please take my word and don't visit this restaurant... If you do, you will be disappointed very much. Cons: Way less quantity, High Price, Service more

try it only in the weekends 8/15/2008

I had food here couple of times. Being an indian I am very picky about Indian food and goes nuts when they serve bad food. You can try this place only during the weekends, just the Biryani stuff. All non-veg curreis trying here is worthless.Infact the recepie itself is very bad. Don't even dare to try the non-veg curries. Pros: Parking Cons: Limited seats more
