Tandoor Grill: elegant way of Indian dining

There are many superb Indian eateries around, and probably I am not the best one to recommend any since I have limited dining experience with them in Ipoh. However, I assure you that Tandoor Grill is one of the more popular joint, even to those who do not frequent Indian cuisine.

Located near to Greentown business centre, this is the same vicinity as the old MP steamboat (currently the new OIC restaurant). One would not miss the stand alone amazing building, which I assume was renovated from one of the old Ipoh bungalow. There are ample carpark at the back of the building, therefore no worries about not able to find a place to stop by.

The ground floor of the building is the usual restaurant with a few private  rooms for individual functions. The place is spacious, with the darken lighting that suits fine dining. Upstairs consist of a ballroom, big enough even for a wedding reception.

On arrival, the staff would gladly show us to the entrance, and the service is definitely on par with any other expensive restaurant. The menu is the typical Indian fare, with a good range of choices, from the usual naan and tandoori to the dessert. I would not be the best person to review this as I have very limited knowledge on Indian cuisine, but to an usual customer as me, the food is rather good. I really enjoy the naan, though it is not the best ones I ever have, but certainly above average. The tandoori chicken is also up to expectation, with the juicy meat, without being too dry. The rest of the food is up to expectation, I really enjoy the briyani too. For the budget consious, one can come here for buffet lunch which would cost RM28.90 per person.

Given the good food, and great environment, this would be a good place to dine. However, gathering the opinion of my friends who frequent Indian cuisine, the common thoughts were this is not the best Ipoh have to offer in term of taste. The rather costly price also would deter me to come here frequently, but probably only once in a blue moon. Still, this would be a good choice to pamper myself whenever I feel like going Indian.


ratings: 3 half poink!
comments: if lunch, do come earlier to avoid the crowd. for dinner, come later as the food tends to be slower at 7pm. (we waited rather long for food when we arrived for dinner one of the days)
