"Tandoori Eats is the first Indian restaurant I 've ever been to, and I had a great experience. It 's embarrassing to say, but the only experience I had with Indian cuisine previously was the frozen butter chicken from Trader Joe 's, so I was pretty keen on trying the ~real~ deal. To put it simply, Tandoori Eats blew me away. The restaurant itself is in a very unassuming location, adjacent to a mini mart. Upon walking in, I was welcomed by melancholic piano music and the pleasant aroma of Indian spices. The space had a very cozy mom and pop vibe, definitely authentic and appears to be family owned. We ordered plain naan, garlic naan, basmati rice, and butter chicken everything was the perfect amount to share between two people. They offer three spice levels for the butter chicken, and we went with Mild, but I think I would go with Medium next time. The butter chicken sauce was as the name denotes so buttery, rich, and had a hint of sweetness. Although it certainly wasn 't lacking in flavor, I think an extra kick (Medium spice) would take it to another level. The chicken was also super soft and tender. My only gripe was the garlic naan, which I found underwhelming because you barely taste the garlic, making the additional $1 from the plain naan difficult to justify. Overall though, the prices are great for the portion sizes $30 for everything! Service was also great, I 'll definitely be coming back here.EDIT: Since first writing this review, I have gone again multiple times and can 't say I 've had a bad experience! They have been super consistent and the food holds up super well when doing takeout/delivery. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"

"I had an unfortunate experience dining at this restaurant yesterday, April 8, 2024. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that my visit would not be enjoyable. The host greeted us with a rude attitude that persisted throughout our time there. As if the poor service wasn’t enough, when the bill arrived, I was shocked to discover that we had been overcharged by a staggering $12. To make matters worse, every item on the bill was priced at least $4 higher than what was shown on the menu. When I brought this discrepancy to the attention of the staff, rather than offering a sincere apology and correcting the mistake, they simply brushed it off with a paltry $5 discount. When I insisted on a proper correction for the $12 overcharge, the staff member became visibly irritated, accusing me of not accounting for tax, despite having already done so. After much back and forth, they reluctantly admitted their error and adjusted the bill, but with an air of annoyance. To add insult to injury, when I asked about the promised $5 discount on top of the corrected bill, the staff member reacted with hostility, suggesting that I should be more careful in checking my bill in the future. Although I eventually paid the corrected amount, I did so feeling indignant about the blatant lack of professionalism and accountability exhibited by the establishment. My advice to anyone considering dining at this restaurant—or any place in Indianapolis, for that matter—is to carefully check your bill before parting with your hard-earned money. It’s disheartening to see such deceptive practices appear to be commonplace in this city, serving as a reminder to always stay vigilant when it comes to financial transactions."
