Tandoori Palace - Indian Restaurant & Catering

If you’re considering dining at an outstanding Indian restaurant, you’ve found the best one. You’ll never need to find another one again.

We came for dinner and had a wonderful experience, our server was Raj, and he was extremely kind, friendly, helpful, and professional. He provided amazing recommendations and provided us more information to help us understand what we were eating and how it’s traditionally eaten in India. Portion sizes are very large and can feed 2-4 people! The environment is clean, music is relaxing. The food was outstanding as always, we’ve been customers since 2020 (4 years) and will be returning as always.

Thank you Raj!

Was in Encinitas taking care of some errands and glad we stopped here for lunch. We had their Lunch special and it included Rice, Naan, salad, soup and a main dish. The portion was just right and my Chicken Korma was delicious. My husband ordered the lamb and enjoyed it. An authentic and reasonably priced option if you are in the area.

Found this place looking for halal food. The rack of lamb is 4 pieces! Look at how much meat is on them. The garlic & chili & cilantro naan was the best I’ve ever had! The service was exceptional, it’s family friendly, and you need to check this place out! $14.99 weekday lunch special! What?!?!?!?!

My husband and I stopped by for an early dinner and throughly enjoyed our chai teas ( not to sweet, just perfect), onion bhaji and pappadum with accompaniments for appetizer. We absolutely loved our chicken tikka masala and spinach and paneer dish. What we appreciated most was the attentive and personable service by Raj himself. He served us extras to try, such as the mango chutney and dessert - going the extra mile to accommodate. We will be back, for sure. Entire staff made us feel very welcome here. What a gem !

Food was great, service was even better. We tried the vegetable samosas, garlic naan & hummus, chicken curry, and tikka masala. All were fantastic. They also gave us a complimentary appetizer. One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to!

Amazing! It was our first time trying Tandoori Palace and we were so pleased! We’ve gotten Indian food before but this was on a different level. The service was amazing, they were so kind and attentive. We ordered the Butter chicken and the Korma, both were super creamy and flavorful. We will definitely be coming back soon <3

Fantastic food, very attentive wait staff, and calming ambience. Worth every penny and more. I will definitely be back!

I tend to be disappointed with the local restaurants but THIS PLACE IS THE EXCEPTION. The food is prepared with care and high-quality ingredients. The flavors are excellent and the dishes are always the right consistency. I also appreciate that when I request spicy, I get spicy!

Absolutely fantastic all around. Will be back soon

Very welcoming establishment! The food is terrific and the people are consistently friendly. Prices are the best in town—the naan tase as good as it smells. 🥰

first time dining here and was very happy with the great quality of vegetarian food. naan texture was perfect and spice levels were very appropriate to what we had requested. would def go again!

Attentive and friendly staff. Enjoyed the food very much. Serving sizes are huge. Ordered Yellow Daal and butter chicken with Naan basket and took about half of it home (split between two of us) with tummies full.
The only complaint would be the phone timing was a bit loud in the main area- but they did have lovely middle eastern atmospheric music playing that was romantic and sweet. We Will come back!!

Good authentic Indian food. Fresh and clean flavors. Butter chicken and Tikka Masala are great here. Dishes can be ordered in legit spicy or (white people spicy), just ask lol. Service was great. Server was charismatic and funny. Nice atmosphere since the recent remodel. Easy parking. Check it out.

Best food I’ve ever had. I’ve had other chicken tiki masala at other places, it does not compare, this place has delicious moist chicken!! They actually grill their chicken. The mango lassi…the best one!!! Everything we dined this even was absolutely and utterly delicious! I can’t emphasis this more! Thank you so much for the awesome costumer experience! The service was amazing!

Tandoori palace is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful decor & spotless clean, their service is amazing extremely nice and helpful. Their food is excellent! Fresh, satisfying, just a perfect blend of aromatics and spices! Me and my partner walked out of here stuffed & happy with leftovers to fight over. Thank you tandoori palace for being an amazing addition to the Encinitas food scene! We will be seeing you soon <3

Amazing food and our waiter was so patient in explaining what each item was and even told us we can make anything we want vegan as everything is made fresh. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back because the food and service was top notch.
