Business Summary what's this?
Tandoor in Bloomington is a two star Indian restaurant. It's been around for the last 18 years. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice an elegant atmosphere. This place features a buffet and brunch.
Tandoor Restaurant is proud to serve the Twin Cites (Minneapolis and St. Paul) with authentic Indian food for over two decades. In the early 1980s, we opened this restaurant in Minneapolis. After the city remodeled the old building, we decided to move to Bloomington in hopes of expanding our business. Today we are going on over 20 years in business and many of you have become our friends. Part of being a small operation gives us the chance to walk around and get to know our customers. This is the best part of our business. We strive to provide a family environment; in fact, many times you may have seen our whole family working together. We strive hard to make our food enjoyable to the public. Fresh ingredients and spiced the way you like, we hope that you enjoy our food. We offer vegetarian and non-vegetarian options and accommodate whatever level of spice you can handle.
4.0 of 5 stars.
I had an enjoyable meal here last night. Butter chicken, some naan & a beer for $20. Quality of the food was superb, service was quick if a bit lackluster.
