Review Punjabi Tandoor - San Diego

Miss L.
I always feel great after eating here! (You know sometimes after eating Indian food from some places, you feel kinda sick afterwards?). I've come here many times and never had a problem! i WILL say, it's "hit or miss" depending on when you come or who's the chef that shift. MOST of the time, the food is consistently great & will taste amazing, and then a couple times it has been "fine"/nothing special. (I'm not sure if it's a "lunch vs dinner" thing, or "weekday vs weekend" thing, I haven't figured it out yet.) For example, their Naan is legendary & usually made-to-order for you; you CAN tell the difference, it comes to you soft, warm, and fresh. Then those other times, you could tell it was sitting for a bit... My friend who grew up in SD has been coming here since highschool & says it has always been the Hit or Miss thing, but overwhelmingly the majority of the time this place holds up to its reputation!! TIP: make sure to sign up for Clover rewards so you can collect POINTS every time you order! The staff doesnt seem to really know about the loyalty program, but just use your cell/the app, and you can keep track on your own :)

The food! Absolutely the best Indian food I've had. We drive past 3 places to come here. Worth it. The service is a little cold, but that may be a cultural thing. But their butter chicken: to die for. There is a secret ingredient I have never been able to match with my home projects. The best deal is the 4 item combo. Freshly made Naan. Cafeteria seating, crowded at lunch time M-F. Pricing in line with expectations. No sticker shock.

Super consistent on their good flavor. They have multiple locations. I used to go to the Carlsbad location when I lived in north county but have been visiting this one because its so close to my work.

Super delicious and great portions for the cost. I got the sag paneer and naan and absolutely loved it! I definitely will be back! The indoor seating is a little small but there is a super cute outdoor patio seating area.

Delicious curries & roti, lots of vegetarian options, served by friendly people in a clean, low key, inviting dining setting. Affordable prices.

I've been coming here for over a decade now. This mom n pop work so hard and they are the best! Treat them right keep the good restaurants alive!

Probably super busy lunch place - but we went for dinner and it was very quiet. Good thing, because we were not sure what we wanted to order. A person in line looked at me and laughed but then helped me to order something and the owner helped too. I would say the food was OK, I didn't love it like others did in the reviews. But it was good and not expensive. Thankfully the owner let us know that we didn't need to order a combo for both people because one combo was good enough for both people.

Reminds me of back home. Great food, rustic ambience. Any visit to San Diego is incomplete without a stop here!!! Sat Sri Akal.

Punjabi Tandoor sponsored sufficient rice and dal for a Diwali event to raise funds for the education of underprivileged children. We thank them for their support for the event. 🪔

4 stars only for interior ambiance. The outside ambiance was very nice and unique, but the interior was okay. I would suggest improving the interior. The food was authentic Punjabi and of good quality. I would suggest anyone try outdoor seating to make the best use of the visit. Inside is okay if outdoor seating is not available.

The lunch special is cheap and they had a good amount of seating both inside and outside. I liked the flavor of the butter chicken and the tikka masala chicken curries. The only bad part is that the chickens were a bit rough and dry. But, the garlic naan and the curry made up for that.

Fresh made Naan, wonderful chicken dishes, excellent basmati rice, channa masala. Best takeout Indian style food I have tried. I hate rating service based on our American ideals, but like someone once told me about "foreign food", don't go to the perfect 5 star restaurants, the service should be below our standards but the food will be a legit 5 at a 3.5-4 star. This was true here at Punjabi Tandoor. Most excellent. I even tried the Raita and loved it too.

Best Indian place in Miramar - authentically delicious, fresh, and affordable!! My husband and I are regulars to this restaurant weekly, every single dish is our favorite, you’ll never be disappointed coming here!!
Aaron Moon
Easily one of the best Indian-Style restaurants in town especially in the “quick eats” category. Flavors are incredible. . . In the many times I’ve visited the food has always been consistently nice. Nothing fancy, just nice people serving up nice food and a decent price. I could go on but I'll say this: if you are in the area and looking for amazing flavors - consider this place a MUST.

If I was on death row and I had one last meal, it would be their murgh makhani with garlic naan and rice pudding. This is easily my favorite Indian food place.
Colette Lori Gallagher
omg! sooo freaking good. just go. It's like a hole in the wall place but the food is ridiculous.

Portion of dinner combo was smaller than the Anaheim location...not even enough sauce to dip naan in...guess I'll be enjoying more food for the money at Anaheim location
Carol Wafer Miller
This is hands down one of my top 3 Indian restaurants in town. The paneer tikka masala is to die for.

� their cauliflower, I'd never had cauliflower so flavorful in all my life! They use enjoyable spicy, not too hot to enjoy your food spicy. Will definitely cone back again!!!

Fantastic! The food, service, and friendliness of staff. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and were attentive during our visit. Hadn't tried Indian food for a long time, so I didn't know what certain menu items were. The kindly took their time (even though it was busy) to answer my questions about menu items, combos, etc. They even offered us a doggie bag/box before we even realized we needed one for leftovers. During dinner, my boyfriend and I interacted with the owner (the mom) of the young men working in the back. Found out it is family owned. And it shows! Regardless of the appearance inside, this place is worth visiting! The lamb curry is very flavorful, as is the chicken curry. Just delicious! I couldn't stress that enough!

Not even close to Vindaloo. I had Tikka Massala and Vindaloo and I was not able to feel the difference between them. Will not be back. (Carlsbad location).
