Menu

The restaurant from Hackensack offers 19 different dishes and drinks on the menu at an average price of $8.2.

This Indian restaurant offers an uneven culinary experience, ranging from disappointingly overcooked Biryani and dry Tandoori chicken to praised dishes that steal the show. While some customers enjoyed flavorful favorites and generous portions, others criticized the handling of food and lackluster flavors in classic items like samosas and lamb dishes. Service can be hit-or-miss, especially regarding menu knowledge for dietary restrictions. Despite varying opinions, the restaurant has its loyal enthusiasts who relish its improved offerings, making this spot a polarizing yet intriguing option for those craving Indian cuisine.

Was Restaurant Gear at Tandoori Chef a mag?
Amazing!!! Best meal I have had in ages. Everything was perfect. I have eaten here for years but I think they have gotten a lot better lately. We ordered about 7 items and I can't pick a favorite because they were all amaze-balls!!! Even my cat loved it, and he's really picky... View all feedback.

What I N dislikes about Tandoori Chef:
This is the first time I have tried this restaurant, I ordered the house Biryani and a tandori chicken to go I was really looking forward to trying a new Indian restaurant. At first glance, the Biryani looked drown in color, I have tried Biryani at quite a few different restaurants, but none ever looked brown. The basmati rice was definitely overcooked from just looking at itWell, let's just say I was never more disa... View all feedback.

Discovered this place on GrubHub. Portions are above average and food is tasty. Really enjoyed the samosa chaat and tandoori chicken. The naan was meh. They use their own drivers and hand off was perfect but requires you to answer your phone so be sure to have it close by.

I really really enjoyed the chicken curry and naan from here, extremely flavorful and very decently priced. Excited to return.

The staff at this restaurant are very unprofessional and made a mistake with my delivery order. Unfortunately, they closed at 3 PM before I could address the issue. The quality of their food is also lacking compared to other Indian restaurants in Bergen County. I only chose this place because it was the closest and fastest option on Uber Eats. I will not be ordering from them again in the future. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

The food was terrible. The condiments appeared to have been left out of the refrigerator for a few days. The lamb saag was more like mutton. It seemed like the food had been sitting out all day since we arrived near closing time. The waiter didn't seem to care that we left everything on the plates because we were worried about getting food poisoning.
