New Tandoori Tadka - Moved out

New Tandoori Tadka opened sometime back in second half of 2010 if i may recollect. It was one of those days we decided to get some food from outside. I decided to try out the Tandoori Tadka  on Radhakrishnan salai, upon entering the place i found out it was a pure vegetarian place. The restaurant has two levels, ground and first floor and tables are not too closely placed. I checked out their menu and the first thing that caught my eye was they serve Chinese food as well, was quite intrigued as they called themselves a Pure Punjabi kitchen.

I did engage in a conversation with the guy at the counter who looked like the owner and asked him about the chinese food in the menu. He said that it was due to their experience from their previous restaurant venture where customers asked for Chinese dishes and lack of such menu cost them customers. He also pointed out that Chinese food at their joint does not get influenced by the Punjabi kitchen. 

Menu at Tandoori Tadka is quite exhaustive, i ordered Paneer butter masala, Kadai vegetable, 2 Phulkas, 1 Rumali roti, 1 Butter Naan and a Garlic Naan.

The gravy portions are quite on the high side and taste wise the paneer butter masala was less spicy but tasted good. The paneer tasted fresh and size of the cubes were just right, coming to the kadai vegetable it was medium spicy. Even kadai vegetable had paneer in it, i am not sure whether paneer is an ingredient of kadai vegetable, however they were smaller in size compared to the other gravy.

Roti's were nice and soft, one has to ensure that you have them as soon as possible else they tend to get a bit chewy. 

 Butter Naan, Garlic Naan                     Phulka                      Rumali Roti


All the above cost me 566 rs i don't exactly remember the cost of the gravies. They were roughly about 
169 rs each and the naan around 30-40 rs.

Overall, the food was good and would rate this place in terms of pricing in the mid range. Way better than the Kabul restaurant situated just a 2-3 buildings away.

New Tandoori Tadka is situated on Radhakrishnan Salai  between Kabul and Reliance trends.
