the chicken dishes were excellent. They clearly state that their tandoori chicken is made with fresh, never-frozen meat, and both the butter chicken and their signature grilled chicken are worth trying. Unfortunately, the fish and chips were disappointing—the frying was done well, but the fish itself didn’t taste very fresh. The service was outstanding. When I mentioned the fish wasn’t up to par, they immediately offered to comp the dish or replace it with another. I opted to have it taken off the bill, and when we checked out, they even gave us a discount coupon. The masala chai is a must-try, as the spices are perfectly balanced, giving it a rich and aromatic flavor. My daughter noted the cinnamon taste, saying it reminded her of the holidays. We also saw a private party in one of the rooms, with beautifully presented platters of food on carts. The naan was good, and the parotta—similar to a Chinese scallion pancake—was a bit greasy. It didn’t hold up well after cooling, so it’s definitely best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

This is my go to place for tandoori chicken, it is flavourful and moist. Son ordered the chicken biryani rice, the portion was huge..the butter sauce is yum yum yum. I also catered from them for a corporate event for 150ppl (chicken is halal) very reliable and delicious. Must give it a try!

Wow! We were pleasantly surprised by our experience here, especially living by Canadian standards. The portions were very generous, and the prices were amazing. The service was excellent, making us feel quite pampered. Our children also loved their meals. We highly recommend starting with the mango salad and tomato soup; they're addictive! If you want to sample a bit of everything, try the half thunder chicken. In short, we'll definitely be back soon to try the desserts.

I stopped by on a fairly quiet afternoon on a Sunday. This was just a short 5 min walk from Mount Joy GO Station. Very convenient. With plenty of parking space in the plaza too. The host Harar was amazing. He was polite and courteous. Suggested a few menu options for me to try. I ended up taking a veggie pasta with eggplant cutlets. The portion size was amazing. Pretty generous for two people too in my opinion. They served it with a garlic naan split into two triangles. Ingenious I’d say, given the restaurant name is tandoor. Serving garlic naan instead of garlic bread with pasta was a nice touch. The pasta itself was cooked al dente. Fresh with peppers, zucchinis and 3 huge eggplant Parmesan cutlets as described. Only thing was it was a bit too cheesy for me. People who prefer it like that will definitely enjoy it. The ambience was really good. A few customers came in to pick up food. I guess it’s popular for that. I had a nice quiet time to myself. Took half of the pasta to go too. 😂. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area. They have a lot of meat options too. I’m. A vegetarian so I didn’t try them.

I wrote a Yelp review on this place 2 years ago but forgot to post on Google so here it is. Found this cozy, quaint resto near my gf's place. I followed google maps and pulled into what I thought was a random office/corporate building lot. I turned a corner and suddenly The Thandur's signage becomes visible. The parking lot is actually pretty big but not particularly busy. Seeing the small amount of traffic outside but then walking into the resto and being the only ones there (it was also peak/prime dinner time) I did not have high hopes initially. The resto inside is actually really small. Probably only like 4-5 tables total (w/ a couple of booths). There was one server manning the front of the house but my gf and I were kindly greeted and told to take a seat anywhere. I asked her a bunch of questions about the menu and she took her time explaining the items to us and the fusion take on things (I'd had kothu roti before but was wondering if there was any differences and what not). After taking our order, she told us the food would be out shortly. We got butter chicken pasta, beef kothu roti and a mango lassi to share. Restos like this are a reminder to never judge a book by it's cover. The place looked abandoned (this was post-covid waves btw) but the food was INCREDIBLE. The butter chicken pasta was sooo tasty. The chicken was tender, a lil charred, coated in DAT THICCC SAUCE. The pasta was al dente. Always had mixed feelings on fusion stuff but this pasta was actually so good. The beef kothu roti was super meaty, had a nice kick and came topped w/ a fried egg which was cool for the IG haha. Last but not least, the mango lassi was actually a proper one (proper salt and the yogurt was tart enough to cut through the spiciness of the roti). Does the mango lassi beat India's Taste mango lassi in markham? Nah haha. But it IS very good. Would not hesitate at all to come back to this place. The pricing was very honest. The portion sizes were big. The server was attentive and friendly. Most important of all, the food was excellent. That butter chicken pasta really is a must try.

The food was great here, but I was surprised with the small portions in some of the dishes. The staff were nice and food came fairly quickly. We had the chilli paneer, chickpea, chicken curry , mutton curry, kothu roti, biryani. They all tasted awesome. The mutton curry was only half full. The vatalapam wasn't great, I'd skip it next time.

Amazing restaurant 😍 👌 with delicious food. We had chicken 65 and eggplant fry along with chicken biryani. The server was so helpful to help us choose the right food as we were super hungry and it was our first time to this restaurant. Nice ambiance to have a good lunch. Washrooms super cleans. Prices are reasonable.

Last night my friends and I had a very enjoyable dinner at this Indian Restaurant. We went for the "All You Can Eat" set dinner, and there were so many good dishes! We took photos of what we ate to share with everyone to see how good the food was. We loved the soup, and the 2 pasta dishes - seafood, and chicken, with different sauces. The butterfly shrimps were also very good (extra order). The other dishes were also very tasty. The owner Alan served us, and he was absolutely fantastic! We cannot thank him enough for the good food and good service we enjoyed yesterday. Pls give it a try. This restaurant really deserves better recognition!

We ordered butter chicken, tandoori chicken, and lamp curry. None of it tasted good. The naans are not made in the kitchen, but they just heat the ones you get at grocery stores. The masala on tandoori chicken was bland, and the curries felt heavy because of the canola oils they used. Wont recommend this place.

Thank you for making our family reunion/pre-wedding a flawless night! The Chicken 65 was the best I ve had at any restaurant! Make sure to finish your meal with Masala coffee!

Picture this: you call two weeks ahead and make a reservation for 10+ people on Mother s Day. The day of, you get a call half hour beforehand to confirm. You show up with full group (including 3 moms) only to find out that HALF the menu is sold out ! There s only one burnt-out host running around seating, taking orders, and serving. It took an hour for us to find out a party the previous day cleaned out Thandur s inventory, and clearly management didn t get around to restocking. Anything positive I might have to say about this restaurant was completely obliterated by our experience. Hoping no one else experiences Mother s Day like this.

We had a wonderful lunch experience at Thandoor today! The fusion cuisine, blending Sri Lankan, Indian, and Italian flavors, was delicious. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch. Our host, Haran, went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome and well taken care of. His commitment to customer service truly shines through. We cant wait to come back and try more of their dishes!

Found a piece of hair in my order, absolutely disgusting!! Im tired of this place, last time I ordered they gave me a completely different dish and this time I receive the dish in a smaller portion and hair!!! Theres literally no hope for this place.

January 22, 2024

Horrible food! Menu is very weak Neither North Indian nor South Indian! 3 options for veg curry one paneer which tasted like rubber. Their spinach daal was watery served with rice not worth $14 But two dishes costed $35 which is a waste of money. Don t recommend this place to anyone. They said they have mango lassi but only half glass, so they served mango milkshake. Bad customer service and owner himself is the one who manages it.

I Came here for lunch for the first time, because I saw the previous reviews and thought I d give it a try. On a personal note, I had been fasting for 36 hours, and was really really looking forward to having some good authentic Indian food. I quickly realized, this is not the place you want to go to if you want to have authentic North Indian food. This is truly a fusion restaurant, catering to the masses. I asked for spicy for my butter chicken, and I got something that was less than medium spice. I asked for some onions on the side, and some pickles (Achar), and the server said they don t have any. I asked for green chilies, and I got a couple of marinated banana peppers. And then I asked for green chillies again, and I got one of those fatter chillies that have no heat. When I explained to the server that I m looking for Thai green chilies, which is what all Indian restaurant serve, and she said they don t have any. They also don t use a tandoor to bake their Naan. I was thinking of giving this place a 2.5 stars, but the place is nicely kept, and the server was nice and pleasant, so I decided to go with three stars.

Went here today for the $7 plus taxes lunch special. Really good quality food & service. Very good portions too. Best value in thus area. Will come here often for lunch take out and will try the $20 buffet on Sundays at 10am to 2pm. Staff is very nice & friendly. Best to order on the phone if you dont want to wait 15-30 mins for the food! The food is Indian fusion so it does not have strong spicy taste and smell like typical traditional Indian which is what I like. I am not a fan of regular Indian food so I like how this place is mixed fusion = Indian & western food mixed! :)

I regularly passed by this restaurant so today I decided to order take out. My husband got a wrap which he enjoyed very much; however, I ordered 2 quarter chicken entrees. Was thoroughly disappointed for the price I paid. Got two small boxes with sad looking chicken and bland rice and on the side, very small containers of mango salad and Thandur sauce which was so bland I had to add chilli sauce. Helpings were very minimal compared to the price of $13 each for the chicken quarter dinners.

Ordered the BOGO on UE. Portions were plentiful and food was tasty. Definitely looking forward to trying their buffet. Update: Unfortunately the buffet was a super let down, and I feel like I have to adjust my review. The flyer I got with my UE talked about bacon, sausage, eggs, omlettes, etc. There was none of that. Unfortunately this place is so small, they probably cant seat more than 10 people at a time. A location with such little seating should not be attempting a buffet, and should not be advertising items that are not even available. I am pretty sure whatever food there was ended up going to waste as we were the only 2 people in the restaurant. Ended up paying $35 for some cold french toast, and some stale rice. There was an omlette station but no one was available to make the omelette. I would give the brunch 1 star and my take out 5 stars. I highly advise NOT going here for the buffet, but I would recommend their actual food as that was actually impressive.

Came here today to celebrate Valentines Day with the missus. Ordered the mutton biryani and the butter chicken pasta. The serving sizes for each dish are enormous.. the waitress said each could feed two and she wasn t kidding. The dishes were great.

Do not eat here if you are vegetarian. Soup was served cold. Appetizer lukewarm. Spinach daal tasted only of tap water. Naan smelled and tasted like kabob. There is a banquet hall connected to this making lots of noise. I considered sending my food back but was certain nothing better would come out. I left no tip which is not my style. 0 stars if I could.

December 22, 2023

Came here because of the high rating. They serve us cold soup and appetizer. This is probably the worst restaurant I ve been to. Served watery Daal, literally just boiled lentils and they throw some spinach in with no seasoning at all.

With a rare weekday off from work, I found myself in Markham around lunch time so it was a good opportunity to explore restaurants that were unfamiliar to me. This search brought me to The Thandur, an Indian restaurant located at Markham Rd. and Bur Oak Ave. Their dining room was nicely decorated, with intimate lighting. Nice looking place. My friend and I ordered their Mutton Biriyani and their house special Thandur Chicken with naan. It didnt take long for the food to arrive and it looked good! Both servings were quite generous. The mutton biryani was very flavourful. It was served with a couple of sauces and pickled peppers.Not bad at all. The Thandur chicken, similar to tandoori chicken, was served with mango salad, naan, and a dipping sauce. It was nicely cooked and had a nice flavour. Oddly, we were the only customers there during our entire visit - no takeout orders, no phone calls, nothing. They offer weekday lunch specials for only $10.00 (+ tax) but only for takeout. Maybe next time...

Today was my first time eating at The Thandur. The only way I can describe my experience is when a child is so happy their feet begin to swing under the table out of pure joy! LOL!

I came to this place to have biriyani which I havent had in a while. I was sorely disappointed when the biriyani came out at room temperature. The egg was also cold in the centre. Also Im not sure if people like it this way but my biriyani was a little sauce-y and wet which was unpleasant. The service was quick, kind, and helpful however, and the place itself is very comfortable to dine in. I wish I could give more stars but I just didnt like the biriyani...

First time visiting. I arrived to pick up my order and it wasnt even started yet. They made it quickly but the quality suffered. Veggies were barely cooked and the butter chicken tasted like tomato sauce on a precooked frozen chicken breast.

The service was amazing. We reached 30mins prior to closing, yet they were more than willing to serve at their best, with a big smile and helping hands. We stayed pretty late and enjoyed several delicious dishes. Would I go there, you bet! If a picture is worth a thousand words, you should go try a few dishes and see how many words your taste buds say.

The Thandur is a great hidden local spot for very tasty Indian food as well as fusion Indian food. Their butter chicken pasta is a top choice dish for me. Cant get enough of it! Their service is also top tier. Very helpful, friendly, and courteous. The interior is also small but quaint and cozy. Decent amount of free parking out front. Also, literally across the street from the Mount Joy GO station. Great overall restaurant. Parking: Adjacent to Mount Joy GO Station.

Oct 13-placed order online on their website for pickup. Showed up and was told they were having issues with their website and orders werent received. Checked my credit card on mobile and saw a pending transaction and thought it would drop off. Ended up dining in at the restaurant. Couple days later saw that the charge for the website order went through. Visited restaurant seeking a refund and spoke to the manager who told me they would investigate. Took my name, number and email. Followed up multiple times by phone and was told someone would call me back and never did. Nov 7-Ended up getting the money credited back from my bank.

I was searching for Authentic Butter Chicken Restaurants and I came across this restaurant in Markham. I tried the Butter Chicken Bowl with Salad. This is the first time trying Butter Chicken and I can say I love the overally taste and mixture with the Rice. The Butter Chicken is flavorful with abit of a kick and mixing with the Rice makes it much better. I truly love this restaurant and will return to try the Butter Chicken again because it was the best butter chicken I tried. For anybody near this area in Markham it is a must.

We ordered the calamari and chicken satay. Our expectation was this would be a Thandoor (oven based) dish flavour, however, to our surprise it s was the regular fried calamari and some pieces of chicken. Below par in taste, quality and quantity. There are several better options in Richmond hill and Scarborough. This maybe an option for folks who are getting introduced to Indian food, but by no means a good option for someone who eats Indian food regularly (and expects a certain level of flavour).

I ordered the double leg thandur chicken with naan. The naan was super fresh, they even provided a curry for the naan to be dipped in. The chicken smelled amazing, but I found it a little dry and under seasoned. Customer service was really good though. I had take out, perhaps it would have been different if I ate in. The mango lassi was also really refreshing with my meal. I wish the chicken came with a side of basmati rice and naan as the chicken seemed to be a bit bare.

December 22, 2022

This is the most sad so called Indian food outlet ever seen. They literally dint have anything on the menu. And then the chef is really stupid. Took them 20 mins to tell us that what we ordered will take another 30 minutes. Had to walk out. First indian joint in Canada that does not have Mango Lassi. And it is there in bold prints on the menu. You guys are literally shaming us. STOP.

Ordered 2 dishes including the butter chicken, both were tasty however the butter chicken had 5 small pieces of chicken which was very disappointing considering each dish was close to 15$, the other portion was good.

Was really excited to try this place and though it was decent, it wasn t anything to write home about. The rice dishes seemed like too much was happening; I wish they were simpler in nature since the potential for it to be perfect was there. The actual meat dishes were good - the chilli chicken with the chow mein was a hit and I liked the grill on the chicken leg served with the biriyani. Friendly customer service and the interior seemed pretty cool too! Definitely worth a visit if you re in the Mount Joy/Bur Oak area in Markham.

After looking at their interesting menu, we decided to visit this place, only to realize it was in part of Markham I never knew existed. Nice restaurant with a small patio. Portion sizes were huge for the price charged. The Tandoori chicken was bit under seasoned, but all the other items were super tasty. They have a very good selection (and prices) for breakfast and lunch too. Worth a try if you are in the area.

Our usual Indian restaurant was closed, so we decide to try a new place that seemed highly rated. Major disappointment with our take out experience last night. We ordered the Butter Chicken Bowl, Chickpea Curry, Chicken Biryani, and Garlic Naan. I was told it would take 25-30 mins to prepare the order, but ended up waiting another 10 mins when I arrived. The restaurant didnt seem very busy and only had 1 other table dining in. The Butter Chicken Bowl was just really bad. When we first opened the container, it looked a bit strange. At first, it seemed like there were 2 large pieces of chicken, but it was actually smaller pieces are clumped together. The chicken texture seemed very strange as well. It had a mushy chew and seemed to have a watery feel to it. Maybe it was previously frozen and defrosted to-order? I ended up throwing all of it out after the 1st couple bites. Chickpea Curry was also not great with no flavour. The chickpeas were basically in a bowl of watery yellow liquid that did not resemble anything like a curry. The Chicken Biryani was also not as expected. It was basically a rice dish with a quarter chicken on top with an over-cooked boiled egg on the side. On the plus side, this was probably the only dish that was mostly edible. Garlic Naan was edible, but didnt seem fresh and tasted like it was maybe previously frozen? Overall, huge disappointment!

Disclaimer: this is not a review about Indian food. There are so many reviews giving 5 stars and praising how good they make Indian food. I Agree! But what everyone fails to make a point is that the food is amazing regardless if it s Indian or not! This is flavourful, delicious, filling, food. Period. Hungry? Come here! Not craving Indian food but want good food for a value? Come here! Want Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, American south food? Doesn t matter come here! I got the half chicken entree and the chicken biryani. And WOW was that chicken amazing! How often have you had a rotisserie style chicken and the breast is bone dry that can only be resuscitated by drowning it in gravy? Not here! That chicken breast was incredibly juicy and if the white meat was moist you know for sure dark meat was gonna be a banger! Entree comes with mango salad, naan, and rice. And oh! Butter chicken gravy, not that you need it! Unless you want to super charge your one way ticket to flavour town that you re already on! So whether you re a season veteran of south Asian cuisine or a complete newcomer like me, you know good food when you taste it. What s so great about this place is it makes food approachable because it s food done right.

Been wanting to come here for so long and got the chance to awhile back. Had ordered an item that was taken off the menu, but they said they could make it for me, which was the stuffed shrimp burger and ordered a fusion style poutine alongside a sizzling plate with a base of fries. Everything was so amazing and the burger was pure definition of fusion! The poutines were nicely loaded and portion sizes may look small, but you definitely will have trouble finishing the items! Service was awesome! How can it not be considering they made an off menu item for me! Great job overall! Follow me on IG @thirst_and_taste for better pics, vids and more amazing content!

The food is okay, but its just not worth it. With tax, $18 for a fairly small portion of butter chicken and a small container of rice. It used to come with 2 garlic naan and a large portion of rice, but that changed. So now for $18, you get about 8-10 cubes of chicken, sauce, and baby portion of rice. No thanks.

Writing this from my bed because my stomach hurts so much after getting pretty much food poisoning from this place yesterday. While the food was flavorful, I really question the cleanliness because when I was served my mango lassi, the cup was sticky, When I asked for a to go cup, they handed me a dirty cup with sticky stuff inside as well and I had to as for a clean one, and now I m having stomach problems. The service was extremely slow even though there was only one other party in the restaurant. My party was ignored when we waved the servers down multiple times because they just kept checking in on the other table. Like I get it, they are an Indian family enjoying your Indian food, and while we aren t the same ethnicity, we also deserve attentiveness. Three of us ordered the butter chicken bowl which is supposed to come with rice but they gave us naan even though they didn t ask if we wanted to change it, and one of the three dishes had 4 pieces of naan while the others only got 2. Anyway. It was just really cringe how we were treated to be honest. Like we were really unimportant and invisible to the point where they could neglect our requests, give us dirty containers and dishes, have us ask three times for the check, gave and charged us for an extra drink, and literally just didn t bother to make sure things were correct and good for our experience. Plus it was really expensive for what it was. I would really never come here again and definitely would not recommend. The terrible service left a bad taste in my mouth even if the food was decent.
