I wish I could give this place no stars. Terrible, terrible place. The chicken tikka masala's sauce tasted like it came from a can of Campbell's tomato soup. Nothing tasted fresh and it tasted like it came pre-made and was poorly made. Ew.

There was nothing unique about the Aloo Gobi (potato & cauliflower) or Bharta (eggplant). And I was severely disappointed when I tried my Kheer (rice pudding) dessert. I wanted to try something new but I guess I made an expensive mistake.

Food was just OK. Delivery was lousy. Never got an email confirm. When I called an hour later to check in they bounced me between different people and never apologized. Wont order from them again. By the way, rice isn't included with anything...

This place TOTALLY messed up my order. First they gave me the wrong soup, and then when we cut into the "vegetable" samosas, one of them was MEAT! They barely apologized and only sent over one replacement samosa to make it up. Never ordering from here again.

Only ordered here once and probably won't again. The food isn't bad, it's just very, very average. Granted I only had the chicken tikka masala, but that's pretty much the standard by which I measure an Indian restaurant. This one was just okay, not spiced very well, and a bit too tomatoey. The garlic naan was more like naan with some garlic thrown on it at the last minute. Nothing special. If this place is close by and you're in a hurry, it's good enough. But if you want some really good Indian food, I'd keep searching.

The food is good, but be prepared to wait. We live across the street and have waited for over an hour -- for the last time. Absolutely ridiculous wait time. We're regulars and have finally had enough.

Never had a bad order from here. Always tasty and spicy.

Food has always been pretty good. Very slow delivery during peak times, however. Seems that between 7-8:30pm the orders take around 45-60 minutes to deliver rather than 15-30 minutes. Try to stay away from peak hours if possible.

I am new to Indian food and now crave it all the time. The delivery time was just right. The basmati rice was lovely and fragrant and I got the shrimp coconut curry which was pretty mild, typical for this dish (good for me bc I am weak when it comes to spicy) Very authentic and I would order from here again.

The food is tastier than average Indian delivery on the Upper East Side, but the portions are rather small. Tamarind still has my vote for best in the area, but this is nice variety.

The food was...average. My garlic naan was burnt in certain area. Plus there was very little garlic on it. The delivery was speedy however I don't think I will order from here again.

it's hard to believe we actually found a good indian restaurant on the upper east side. we're indians so we know indian food. i love the panchrattan daal. my boyfriend loves the low prices. so don't you dare order from "tandoor oven". that place is a joke. stick with dakshin

Go with the vegetarian dishes and you will be very happy. Aloo papri-chat is life-changing.

Best Chicken Saag in the city, but they always burn the Naan.

The food is always really good but they can't seem to get the order completely correct. There's always something missing.
