Welcome to Tandoor Indian Restaurant

Tandoor Indian Restaurant on East Franklin Street has had a face-lift. For the past 30 years 1301 East Franklin Street has gone thru many reincarnations and this one is truly the most colorful and delicious. "It's all about the experience" says Terry Melville, who masterminded the rejuvenation of Tandoor Indian Restaurant along with Tandoor's Baleinder Bhupal, better known as Binda to his loyal customers. Vivid Indian-colored walls and doors of Mango Orange, Kashmiri Hot Pink and Bombay Yellow, trimmed in Peacock Blue replace the formerly drab off-white and brown decor.

Wednesday nights at Tandoor is Bollywood Night with a special serving of Bollywood Thajis and showings of Bollywood Videos.
