We ordered takeout from here tonight. The aroma itself was amazing. I had the chicken biryani and my husband had lamb curry. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The yellow rice was very flavourful. The only thing we didn’t really enjoy was the garlic naan bread. The man who took our order over the phone wasn’t overly friendly, and the restaurant is located in a kind of random neighbourhood, but regardless of that, the food was so great and we will definitely be ordering again.

Hidden gem in Cobourg! My husband and I were craving a really good Indian meal. Given that we have travelled quite extensively, we were looking for an authentic meal that captures Indian cuisine and although others have come somewhat close, the Tandoor Smoke nails it. The Chef makes his own garam masala and each dish is authentic and true to Indian and Desi cuisine. This is a no-frills, no white linen tablecloth restaurant but it’s food is truly magnificent. The Chef introduced himself at our table (we have dined there and had several take outs) and his love of cooking is handled down through generations. It’s so good our friends are coming from Mississauga to eat there next weekend! It’s truly a hidden gem, tucked away in a quiet street, making phenomenal food! Highly, highly recommend the biryanis, butter chicken, Pershwari naans, and their mango lassi is amazing!

Best Indian restaurant in Cobourgh! I was craving tandoori chicken, and couldn’t have asked for a better plate. Fresh and delicious. The owner and staff were also very hospitable. Will definitely come here again!!

The food here is amazing. The spices, the tenderness of the meat, the rice, the garlic naan!!! My god I'm salivating as I'm writing this review. I really can't say enough about this place. If you have a taste for authentic Indian food then this place is a must. I repeat a must. The atmosphere is pleasant yet simple. The staff are delightfully wonderful. If there was one drawback it would have to be what you eat off of. Plastic utensils and paper plate. Having said that everything else more than compensates for this minor nuance. The pricing is very reasonable just to top it all off. This restaurant is a must if you are ever in Cobourg! Congratulations Tandoori Smoke, you guys are definitely not smokin, you're on fire!

As Brits we love our curries and despite traveling across Canada we have never found a curry to come close to a UK curry - until we tried Tandoori Smoke. The online ordering process was simple and we received a confirmation email followed by a further one saying the food would be ready in 30 minutes. We thought we would get a selection of dishes to try so we ordered a starter, 3 mains, sides and a dessert. They all had great flavour and just the right amount of spice for our palate and we couldn’t find a fault with any of the food. The Chicken Tikka Masala is not the same as you would have in the UK which tends to be sweeter in flavour but it was still perfectly spiced. The garlic naan is possibly the most garlicky naan we’ve ever had (in a good way) but it was perfectly soft and fluffy. The portion sizes are, by UK standards, large and have so far fed us 3 times with the rest frozen for a 4th meal. We would definitely recommend you give them a go.

Tandoori Smoke serves freshly cooked, exceptional dishes, that's full of authentic, mouth watering, aromatic flavours. They offer the perfect amount of selections of both meat and vegetarian options and is not overly spicy. The portions are perfectly priced and the sizes are great enough to allow for leftovers and I guarantee you'll experience the same flavour explosion of homemade deliciousness! Their service staff and chef is fantastic and welcoming. I've made several visits to this local establishment and highly recommend Tandoori Smoke. I absolutely love Indian cuisine and I guarantee that once you check them out, you will agree that they're the best Indian restaurant in the county. Support this local gem.

It s a small place close to the highway with great food and service! The food was flavourful and plentiful and the staff was friendly and made great recommendations. This place will now be part of my routine when I make the drive.

While waiting for our food he brought us out some samples. The chef even came out to ask us how we liked it! The food was hot and delicious when we got home. My dish was so large I ate it for lunch the next day. We will definitely be back!

Glad that we found this hidden gem. We started returning to Montreal from Ripleys Aquarium Toronto. We knew that itll b a bit traffic near Toronto. So after the on route around 1-2 hr drive from Toronto.. we were looking for a good halal restaurant and we found this place. Everything was freshly prepared. We had ordered Tea, butter chicken, chicken tandoori, garlic naan, basmati Rice and aalo Gobi. The Fresh garlic minced gave naan a special taste. Would definitely recommend this place.

Was new to Cobourg and decided to try this place because of the excellent reviews. Being an Indian, I am very particular about Indian food and Tandoori Smoke did not disappoint. The Chicken Biryani was flavourful and fresh without being overtly spicy or oily and would please all kinds of food lovers. The spicy Eggplant (Baigan Bhartha) made more for the bold Indian palate reminded me of yummy cooking from back home. The Channa Masala (chickpeas) were tasty and all the portions were very reasonable. The Lassi was very authentic and not the poor cousin version that we find in most Indian restaurants in the GTA. To top it up, the chef is a friendly soul who enjoys cooking as his hobby and has very friendly staff at the take out. I prophesy that soon Tandoori smoke will be needing a much bigger place! Thank you I enjoyed good Indian take out after a long time!

The food from Tandoori Smoke is excellent. I spent 3 weeks in India last year and this comes the closest to what I remember enjoying. I called an hour ahead for pick up at a specific time and it was piping hot and ready to go when I arrived. Very convenient, well priced, and delicious.

Our first time trying Tandoori Smoke, for no good reason since weve known about it for awhile. Our loss, until today. We ordered chana masala for my vegetarian wife and butter chicken for me, rice, regular naan bread and a samosa, all to be picked up at a set time. The food was ready when I arrived, but was still piping hot. The portion sizes are excellent...the amount of chicken in the butter chicken was literally double the amount we were recently given by the other (and recently slipping) Indian resto in town. The naan bread and rice portions generous as well. We were both impressed with the taste of everything. Classic recipes done classically, and both main dishes were far superior to what the other place in town has recently been serving. The samosa was good though not quite as good as the other place in town. The decor is minimal, as this is a takeout-only place. So basically irrelevant for the purpose of this review. The person who greeted us was perfunctory and had us paid and out of there with our food quickly, which is what we want in a takeout resto. Im not looking for a new best friend; I simply wanted my food quickly, and they delivered. One small piece of ordering advice: Their spicing is a tad heavy so everything was one step spicier than typical. Mild was closer to medium, medium was closer to spicy. Next time we will just ask them to take the spice level down a notch to get the balance we prefer.

We tried this restaurant because of Google reviews and it did not disappoint!! The food was absolutely delicious My partner ordered online, and within minutes they called us to confirm our order and set a pick up time. As soon as he walked in the door he was greeted pleasantly and very quickly! No problems with our order and everything was ready at pickup time. When he brought the food home, the scent was just mouthwatering!! And the flavours, amazing! We ordered what we thought was plain steamed rice to go with our food, and it was not plain, the aroma and flavour from all the spices was so good, and complemented the main dishes perfectly! I cant say enough about this place, it was amazing, and we have already ordered more than once, and already looking forward to the next time!!

FINALLY, truly authentic Indian food close to home! We just had the leftovers for lunch and the flavours were as equally as good as last night, it was so good that I just had to come and leave a review. You need to be able to take some heat, but the flavours are magnificent! Every bite was a taste explosion. If you like us enjoy real, honest and fresh Indian food you will not regret trying this place. (The only downfall is that we live dangerously close to the restaurant and will have to practice some restraint!). It is the kind of food that you will remember long after you have finished your last bite.

We moved to Cobourg recently from BC. Have been craving a really good Indian place to remind us of home. Have tried the one downtown a few times - all well and good - but Tandoori Smoke takes it to another level! Was told all entrees are cooked to a Mild spice level we asked for Medium just the right amount of heat. Ordered the basics butter chicken, tikka masala, plain naan and veggie samosas. They didn t have pakoras available yet (next time though). Ordered for pick up at a specific time; it was prepared and ready as I walked in. Oddity: I m used to seeing a large menu with options for vindaloo, Jaipuri, roganjosh, bhuna, kadahi, korma versions of entrees. But I m certain you ll find something you love too. Will be trying again soon.

WoW! Coming from England, I have tried my fair share of Currys. From fine dining at the Cinnamon Club to the local curry house, there are many flavours I have experienced over the years. Chef Rahmans food and Waqass customer service are top notch! Super friendly, generous portions and great flavours made in the traditional way. Our 6 year old son has never tried any sort of Indian cuisine before (we have tried many times) In fact he is quite a fussy eater, but my wife and I were completely gob smacked when he ate the tandoor chicken and liked it! Thanks so much for coming to Cobourg. We look forward to going through your whole menu. I would highly recommend!

It was very good, tasty and authentic, I expected slightly different dishes from what was described on the menu but what I got was still very good. The lamb is delicious, although Im not used to having lamb on the bone in a curry, it did give lots of flavor and was so tender. The matar paneer was good but I think Id prefer the palak paneer when it becomes available. The butter naan also very good. I did find the prices expensive but I am on an extremely low income so that obviously changes my perspective. The staff and customer service are exceptional. I will be back to try many more dishes.

We went to Tandoori Smoke on Friday for food. They do not have the inside set up for dining in quite yet so we got take out. I am vegetarian and celiac and I was very impressed with the vegetarian/gluten-free options on their menu, which is something very much lacking at other places in town. The gentleman who took our order was very knowledgeable and helpful. We ended up ordering a palak paneer for me, chicken tikka masala for my spouse, basmati rice to split and two samosas to take home. It was all great, high quality food, with enough leftover for dinner the following evening. We will definitely be back! Vegetarian options: They have an entire vegetarian curry section on their menu. Dietary restrictions: They have options for those with dietary restrictions very clearly labelled on their menu.

We tried this place after seeing all the 5 star reviews. Sadly it did not measure up. The butter chicken was some kind of BBQ chicken in a plain tomato sauce. It didnt taste like butter chicken at all. The rice Palau left a terrible soapy after taste. We ended up throwing that out, and the Bryani was super salty. No one had seconds and this was a real dissapointment. Wouldnt recommend if you are looking for great Indian food.

It s not an Indian restaurant, just the name to make it attractive, not good for vegetarians non veg or vegan, not worth to spend money as Indian food is much better, they don t know what they cook.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Tandoori Smoke in Cobourg. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff ensuring a comfortable meal. The food quality was exceptional, with flavors that truly delighted my taste buds. I highly recommend Tandoori Flames for a delightful culinary experience. If you are not eating here and I Truly mean this then you are missing out. ABSOLUTE HIDDEN GEM.

Wow, we just had Tandoori Smoke for the first time and it was delicious! We love all the veg options and had the Garlic Naan, Basmati Rice, Chana Masala, Aloo Palak, and the Baingan Bharta. Everything was extremely tasty, flavourful, and fresh. We are very happy that they opened in Cobourg and we will be back many times.

Hidden Gem!! I was apprehensive to give this place a try due to its odd location, but so glad I ordered from here! I ordered the butter naan, butter chicken, and samosas. All three were excellent. The naan was pillowy, chewy, and delicious. The butter chicken is far better than any Ive tried so far - lots of flavour, and just enough spice. Their samosas are great as well. I also tried ordering a smoked eggplant dish but it was unfortunately unavailable. Excited to order from here in the future, especially during the colder months ahead!

After a recommendation from a friend, I popped in and ordered a chicken curry, butter chicken and saag chicken, unfortunately they were inedible due to the amount of salt in the dishes- very disappointing! Feedback from email I sent you- Sorry for your experience and Thank you for letting us know.

Fabulous meal. I booked for 14 adults for our family Christmas lunch. They were very accommodating (by coming in early to prep for my timeframe request) and pleasant. Everyone in our group raved that it was exceptional quality and great tasting. I highly recommend them and we are lucky to have such quality service in cobourg!,

We ordered tandoori smoke bases of reviews and I was truly looking forward to it. The samosas were great but the sauce that came with it was past its best before date, the little container were bulging with the fermentation happening because they were expired and one explode on the counter once home and the other when opened thats when we found out it was bad by tasting it. We call informed them and they agreed after checking what they had on hand and told us not to eat it. The other dishes we ordered were the butter chicken and curry chicken both were ok not much in the way of flavour. But with that said I usually give restaurants a couple attempts before writing them off completely. It s too bad that dine in is not available.
