As always, the food and friendly staff were great. The 3 of us had the lunch buffet which was delicious, just wished I was able to have a bit of everything on offer, but unfortunately my stomach couldn't manage it! LOL. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who hasn't already tried it!
Lovely people. Very good Indian food… among the best on the island. Generous dishes. Frequent new flavours and entrees. 4 stars for atmosphere(which is nice) only because one or two of the tall booth-backs are a bit wobbly. My Bengali friend says it’s “like home”
Dont waste your money!! Honestly wouldn’t recommend this place. Food was bad, went to the buffet and thought it would be more on the mild side but it was very spicy and my mom and I couldn’t even eat a plate combined. aside from the spice the flavour is poor. Don’t waste your money. The people were nice but saw we were there less than 5 minutes and didn’t offer us a discount or anything. Very disappointing.
Every time I visit Duncan I either visit here or very seriously consider visiting. The food is incredible, the atmosphere charming, and all of the staff are absolutely lovely. I cannot stress enough how good the food is, and in generous portions. My favourite is the curry chicken partnered with garlic and basil naan. If I had to choose one meal to eat every day until I die, it would very likely be that.
BEST INDIAN IVE EVER HAD!!!!!! So delicious and filling, staff was wonderful, and accommodating, we found this place at random but if you love Indian, this is the spot. I got the butter chicken and it was melt in your mouth DELICIOUS!!! I also got the garlic, basil nan and it was the best I’ve had! Nice and chewy but soft and the flavours were perfect to eat with the butter chicken, not over buttery, or overpowering. I got the mango lassi as well and it was so delicious!
We enter the restaurant and immediately are greeted by fantastic, kind staff. We sit down and order Mango Lassi to start, and are brought the most beautifully decorated drinks I have ever seen. We proceed to get Chicken Pakora and Malai Tandoori Chicken. The chicken pakora was presented beautifully and tasted amazing! And the Malai Chicken Tikka was presented hot with fresh lemon! I highly recommend if you are living in Duncan, my new favorite spot!
Lunch buffet is great! The restaurant is so clean, food is delicious (naan bread is hot and fresh!) and the owners are so great. Lovely local spot, highly recommend!
The two best restaurants in Duncan are both Indian restaurants at the moment. Delicious, reasonably priced and about 300 m from one another. Good service, clean, nice decor, and excellent tasty food. Good selection of vegetarian and Savory meats. Menu lists gluten free and some dairy free options. Three spice levels. Our most recent visit we found the food less salty which was good because we could appreciate the flavour better.
Tried the butter chicken and its definitely one of the best. The price was very reasonable and the portions were generous.
Amazing food. Never had such a great taste of indian food in canada . Loved everything must visit.
Delicious food with reasonable price! Love this place
The lunch buffet is amazing! Food was excellent, very well priced, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We will be back for sure!
Nice restaurant
Such a good place, food ajd the staff!
Very nice food I love the goat curry Great restaurant. thank you Vegetarian options: :) Dietary restrictions: Do not restrict yourself! Try the chicken curry Parking: Plenty Kid-friendliness: Kids love the booths- nice chairs Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
The food was just average, and unfortunately, the service was even more disappointing. The owners themselves served us, but their approach was unprofessional and lacked attention to detail. It s frustrating when the management doesn t seem to care about providing a better experience. Overall, not the dining experience I had hoped for.
Excellent food and great customer service - will be back!
Delicious and authentic Indian flavors with warm, attentive service! Every dish was a delightful burst of spices highly recommend!
Amazing food. Had a good time talking to the owner too. Should definitely try it out
Wonderful Indian cuisine with rich flavors and a cozy atmosphere! Each dish was perfectly spiced and absolutely satisfying a must-try spot!
I have had their food twice so far and honestly Ive been blown away both times with how good it is. Definitely going to have to go more often and try some more things. Edit Its been a year and Im just as happy if not more with this place. Ive tried more things. Loved them all. Staff are amazing. Cant say enough good things about this place. Vegetarian options: Im not even vegetarian and so far it has my favorite dish but its also the first one I tried and I love it.
Quality and delicious food, great service, presentation, great quantity within the budget - if you are looking for these things, please visit fresh tandoori Duncan location and you will be amazed. It s GREAT FOOD and staff is very friendly and smiling all the time.
Great place and love the buffet. Always hits the spot!
Great food and great
Great experience, lovely people. The rice pudding was my favorite - I definitely recommend it.
Fish pakoras were excellent; Garlic Naan was good; Aloo Gobi quite good; Palak Paneer not as firm as we like; Butter Chicken was not tender or flavourful - sauce was ok. Have had better at other local options. Service was very quick & polite!
I just recently moved to Duncan. I was struggling.to find good Indian taste then I come to know about the fresh tandoori flavour where I ordered so many things but the butter chicken was so delicious finger licking and the atmosphere was so good ,the staff was so friendly and the service was real quick the owner Mr.Amit Verma was so humble and polite . I really like it
The butter chicken is so tasty and other currys also very delicious
Goat curry and palak panner is fantastic i love the taste and texture of every curry of this restaurant
Very pleased with the dine in experience. Clean, nice atmosphere, staff are very friendly, and might just be the best Indian food in town. Highly recommend.

I was driving to Victoria and stopped into this restaurant for a mid afternoon meal. IT WAS FABULOUS!!! Everything and everyone was wonderful and I plan to stop now every time I go thru Duncan. I lived in India and this food was as good as anything Ive had. Generous with vegetarian options also....Im a veghead so I was completely satisfied with my meal.

Fantastic cuisine, incredible service, and a lovely atmosphere. We came to Fresh Tandoori for a birthday dinner and ended up eating half the menu. Everything was excellent, but the lamb vindaloo, chicken korma, and fish masala were standouts favourites. Very affordable and the portions are generous.
Delicious food, specially chicken keema naan. Great service. Humble staff.

Today my sister and I took our dad out for lunch and we re blown away by the amazing food that we ate. We ordered quite a few things so it s hard to just pick just one but the fish Pakoras the chicken korma the butter chicken and the regular Pakors absolutely blew our minds. The chai tea was delightful and the portions were huge. My dad lives in a seniors home and was so grateful to be able to take home all of the leftovers to eat for his New Year s dinner. Thank you so much to the staff. We enjoyed our visit with you so much 10 out of 10 folks, go give them a try you won t regret it!
The place was nice and clean. The staff were friendly and the food was amazing.
We have come here before and the food was good. Last night we had come for dinner and ordered our usual and the food was absolutely descusting and hardly touched two of the dishes. We had told the waiter that we just could not eat some of the food because it didnt taste palatable. We ended up getting charged for food we could not eat. We both had gotten sick after eating there. We will not be returning.
Delicious food, excellent service. A regular go to for our ladies group.
Excellent flavors, prompt and friendly service. Highly recommend!
Wonderful options, great taste, reasonable prices, staff are welcoming and friendly. The 3 spice levels are helpful. Convenient locale, close to CPAC and Community Center Vegetarian options: Love the veg korma.
