Tandoori Chaska is an Indian restaurant based in Sarnia offering authentic Dining experiences through a Unique fusion of fine Indian classical cuisine & refined, welcoming service.
Tandoori Chaska, located at 1407 London Rd in Sarnia, Ontario, is known for its authentic Indian cuisine. While specific reviews of their lamb biryani are limited, the restaurant has received mixed feedback from patrons. Some customers have praised dishes like the chilli chicken, paneer, and lamb, noting their quality and taste.  However, there have been concerns regarding the restaurant’s hygiene. Notably, Lambton Public Health Unit recently closed Tandoori Chaska due to health violations.  Given these mixed reviews and recent health concerns, it’s advisable to check the restaurant’s current status and consider recent customer feedback before deciding to dine there.
I used to come here often but this time I tried veggie fried rice and it was awful 😣 all veggies are raw (not cooked well) !!! And I never found peas and corn in fried rice !! Bad experience in Chinese food here !!! 😖😖😖😖disgusting
The atmosphere was amazing at this place. Props to the peroxide who decorated it. Service was 10/10 and they are super friendly🤩. Can’t wait to return to order and try the other dishes.
I am a regular customer and ordered a prawns biriyani on 13th October. I got some mutton pieces from prawns biriyani. This happened last week also..Got some thing else from chicken biriyani.. But thought it was an accident.
Received a strip of plastic in lamb biriyani bought on 26-Sep at 6.50pm through uber eats. I have been a regular customer here and this incident has left me disappointed and concerned about the quality control in your kitchen.
Excellent food. My second time visiting from Toronto and it did not disappoint. I had butter chicken and butter naan as well as lamb biriyani. Portion sizes are really big so I'd suggest sharing a dish.
We were a party of 4 and arrived for lunch at this place around 1 pm on a Monday. We ordered daal makhni, mixed-vegetable, paneer butter masala, naan, tandoori roti and sweet/salty lassi. The food tasted very good and was medium spiced hot. The paneer butter masala was the highlight. Our server was courteous and friendly. I recommend this place and will return here in future.
Chef here is really good as we always keep coming back here for lunch and dinner. This restaurant is always short staffed but two girls working here always try their best to accommodate everyone. Cleanliness and service can be definitely be improved here. Overall it’s worth trying food here. Recommend 💯
Spending $50 for frozen food is not worth it!
these guys are slow as hell. cant even make a small order and take nearly an hour. every single time my order takes more than an hour to get prepared. bunch of lazy staff. I wish I could give them 0 stars.
Service is not good at all. They are under staff. Food is good tho
We liked the food the butter naan was so soft and fluffy.
Tandoori nights at Tandoori Chaska... Lol Food Is good, service is up to the mark Ambience looks great Price is not that costly Vegetarian options: Almost all the vegetarian dishes available
I ordered Chana batura, it looked like the Chana was stale, was hungry so I ate it. Halfway through I found some plastic piece in chutney. It was just gross
Their food is hands down the best out of any other Indian restaurant in Sarnia. We have tried everyone out there now and we just got Tandoori Chaska for 1st time yesterday and we were very impressed. Very flavourful food and portions are almost double the amount compared to every other Indian restaurant in Sarnia. We will be ordering again many times in the future plz dont change anything. Should really start a buffet since your food actually has mouthwatering flavour.
Food was decent and the portions were great for the price you pay. Felt they were understaffed.
Unfortunately, we received or you provide very little chena masala required for two samosas. It is horrible and we never order a second time. I am going to add these comments to Google and all the places wherever possible so that customers are not disappointed while eating.
Hey, we had a lovely family dinner on 16 Nov. We shared shrimp, lamb, and chicken curries along with chicken Biryani. Our dishes were prepared beautifully and our table server Puuja did a great job looking after us. I ve had take out from there several times but we wanted to try dine in for a change. It was a great decision as the music and ambiance of the dining area added to our enjoyment.
The Malai Soya Chaap and Aloo Tikki was so amazing!! Pooja did an amazing job at making us feel welcomed! Kudos to the chef! Super Happy with food and service....
Went for the first time last night. Food was excellent! I didnt get the name of our server but she was very lovely. Will definitely be back.
I visited this restaurant for the first time today. I really liked the ambiance and food. The girl who served us, named Pooja, provided excellent service and is a hard worker.
Food is great, lady was really friendly and the food came out fast
Always get the Non Veg Thali and its 10/10. So cheap too, I believe 13$ for take out. Cant beat a full meal for 13$ these days. Highly suggested. Best food for the price in Sarnia.
Ordered the Non-Veg thali! It was absolutely delicious. Worth a try! The staff make you feel warm and welcomed. A Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available
great atmosphere with tasty food......
Update visiting second time the front counter attendant when my husband ask her what gravy comes in veg rice combo she rolled her eyes, After ordering she put the amount in debit machine and threw the machine towards us ran into kitchen, very disappointed with that lady ! Duh
After 45 minutes wait , It was absolutely rubbish food, I ordered kadahi chicken, it was completely raw, the same onion, the same tomato, everything was raw, no salt or pepper in it,
Take out order. Great tasting. Good amount for the cost.
Bro it s Unpalatable .
Very delicious food and excellent proportions! Our waitress was great and helped us make excellent choices. We will be back!
The food was hot and delicious and the service was excellent.
They need to hire people to wait the table
Deserves 0* , found hair twice in their food on dine in. Never come back.
I had really bad experience today. I called them in advance about table of 5 people and we get there 8:30 pm and get our appetizers around 9:30pm. They didn t provide us water as well in the beginning. There is no mistake of server. She was doing great but she was only one there and covering 8 tables on weekend. Shame on the tandoori chaska owner who taking advantage of these innocent workers. Please hire some more people and don t put burden on single employee and your customers can get services on time. Thank you
Poor customer service
We made a special trip from London, Ontario, to dine at Tandoori Chaska, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. We ordered Indo-Chinese dishes, but the noodles were overwhelmed with garlic, making them hard to enjoy. To make matters worse, I found a hard string-like object in my food three times during the meal. When we notified two servers about this issue, one mentioned she would speak to the chef, but no one followed up with us, and the chef never came to address our concerns. Overall, the lack of attention to both food quality and customer service was very disappointing.
Food is not good and service is too late Server s tell you wait fir one minute but at the end you have to wait for 1 hour . It all your choice to go there waste your money
Experience was really bullshit due to long waiting and giving uncooked food , we had to wait up to 1 hour....
Great service by rubal randhawa nice nature
Food was awesome, enjoyed the atmosphere specially Customer service from RUBAL
Really enjoyed!, met Rubal she has very nice nature she knows how to treat everyone. Her service was fast. Would like to come here again for her only.
Amazing service by Girl named Rubal. Even though the restaurant was busy. She was available for us all the time. a big shout out to rubal. Yummy food. Great customer service.
We got amazing food. The service was wonderful. Rubal did amazing serving even during the busy hour.
First time here from Toronto and ordered chicken biryani and veg thali must say best meal i had after so long in any Indian restaurant and thanks to pooja she really served our family with love and care.
I decided to eat out today for dinner and wanted to try eating at an Indian restaurant for the first time. I ordered spicy chicken curry with rice. Presentation for the curry was well done. The spice was really kicking and I enjoyed it. The rice and chicken were also both cooked perfectly. My shakes were also delicious. Afterwards, I had to give a compliment to chef. 5 stars and would come back.
Ordered just Paneer bhurji for pickup. It was just full of tomato flavour. Could not test other things. Just tomatoes.
Worst food and service
Thank you Pooja for great customer service. Will see you soon.
Served Lamb biryani with extra gravy instead of chicken biryani. Curd boxes and mint chutney boxes were not sealed properly and Soya chaap also we asked for malai and we got something wrong. Overall a pretty messed up order
Got non-veg thali, the best food i have eaten away from my home country, thank you
They have literally elevated there game so much! The food is amazing including the dessert. The services reps are super accommodating. Must try there methi malai paneer
Vegetarian options: Tandoori vege momos Food
We were visiting from Toronto and this rivals if not tops anywhere we ve been to in the city. Fantastic dishes especially the chicken 65.
Dear [Restaurant Owner/Manager], I recently visited your restaurant for a meal and was impressed by the quality of the food. However, I observed several areas that could benefit from improvement, particularly regarding staffing. During my visit on a busy Saturday, many patrons were seated at tables and waiting for their food at the front counter. Despite the excellence of your meals, having only one waiter to serve nine or ten tables proved challenging. For weekends, I recommend employing at least two or three servers to ensure a more efficient service. If your business is thriving, investing in additional staff would likely enhance the customer experience. Relying on minimal staff during peak times can negatively impact service quality, and even an owner would find it difficult to manage under such circumstances. I appreciate your hard work and hope you consider this feedback to further improve your establishment. Sincerely, Anmol Singh, Avi Tomar, Gurjant Singh.
2nd visit. Lamb curry hot with garlic nan. Flavor good, spice level good. I have yet to experience any curry with a nest of leaf? Looks like a salad of un eatable hard leafs included in my curry, almost looks like bay leafs? Good flavor but get the leaves out, I am not a goat! Waitress was terrible, same as last time. Had to bring in another but well deserved staff. Large tip left for second waiter, I will see how it goes next time.
Best place to eat Indian food in Sarnia
Food is amazing. Service is friendly, helpful and fast. Food
Good service and atmosphere. I have visited there almost 10-15 times. This time food was delicious. Veg-thali and veg-naan gravy was excellent. Royal falludah was just yummy. The girl working here named Rubal is always having smile on her face. She is super nice. Good job guys. Keep it up.
Vegetarian options: We usually go for a dinner over there and last night we went there and ordered Chinese combo and in that we get noodles and Manchurian when we get it, it was a salty and when we gave them to change so and we request him to replace the order like we usually go with the Thali and I think we only like that taste and not the Chinese combo over there so we requested them but they said we will not replace your order so we take another give them another order and order for veg Thali, and that too gulab jamun was taste so bad like it was must be stale so that was really bad as so we paid for both even we don t even taste a bit for the Chinese combo, but they took a bill from us and it was really bad experience. We will never went to that place. . Zero stars. Staff is not guilty , they argue us over taste . I will complaint it for their management.
I tried paneer butter masala it was delicious.
Amazing food, good staff...nice ambiance Vegetarian options: Kathi rolls are amazing...must try Food : 5/5 |
Very bad customer service and the food comes really late. Dont recommend this place for dine in.
I had an exceptional experience at Tandoori Chaska. The staff was extremely cooperative and kind, with Rubalmeet Kaur standing out for her outstanding service. She truly went above and beyond to make our visit memorable.
The food was delicious. Highly recommended. We got the butter chicken and it was some of the best in the US. Vegetarian options: Plenty of delicious vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: Their food meet the dietary needs for gluten free, nut free, egg free.
Highly unrecommended !!!! Bought 6 Biriyani as a part of birthday party and we got small stones from 2 of them and the amount of chicken pieces were very hard to find in one of the boxes..
We ordered 6 Biriyanis for a party and we got stones from two of those. When we complained to them they said, it s not their fault. We let it go when we got the first thinking it could happen, but when I bit the second one I decided to call them and complain. The important thing is that we are their regular customers. I have ordered Biriyani from there several times and never had to complain. So I called them in good faith, however to my surprise their response was that there would never be a chance for stones in their Biriyani. So they questioned us for saying something that could never happen. They demanded us to bring back all the biriyanis and the stones we have got. We couldn t let this go, so we did go back with the biriyanis and to our surprise again and they accused us of making it up. The way they treated us was so disappointing especially we being regular customers. This whole thing ruined our party and the night. Such a worst experience. Never expected such an attitude from them.
If only there was an option to go for zero stars, Id give just that. I can t believe the quality of food you have. I had small stones in my food and such awful quality of food you guys serve, that I got sick for 2 days because of the same. Is this the kind of customer experience you want to set? Highly disgusted. Never ordering food from you again.
About 9 tables were full and only one server helping everyone, wont blame the server as the employer should be allocating more people Wasted extra 30-35 mins just waiting for service
Thali nor available when you ask about thali
The atmosphere was lively and the menu offered a wide variety of Indian street food options, and the dishes we tried were flavorful and also great value for the price, and we left feeling satisfied.
Yesterday I ordered chana bhatura which was very good in taste and the girl rubal Randhawa who served the food is so sweet and she welcomed us with the smile
Overall experience 5+ .. We are on delivery at Canadian tire and we decided to eat Daal, Roti. It was best. The service of the staff (OUTSTANDING). Next time also we will come and eat. I love the service of the staff girl who served us. I dont know the name of her.
Ordered butter naan paneer butter masala was good and noodles. Asked medium spice in noodles. They put more than spice in it and when asked they replied they made regular ones. I know some people don t want to accept the mistake. I didn t even ask for any replacement or anything else just gave the feedback with a smile. But still gave me the answer likr that. May be we don t know the difference between mild and spicy. They re right.
Its been while this restaurant is open and initially did so good but over the years have become worst in service. Just because you have good taste you can t compromise in service. Recently I ordered there and they gave me wrong item. When I complained the girl in service said I am lying at first and then she said next time we will make it better. When I asked to speak with the owner she said he will be coming but then another girl said he left the restaurant and now I have to come back latter. Its not about getting free food its about getting good service which this restaurant can never deliver to their customers. On the other hand if you Go to Sitara the owner by himself cones and greets you. Takes feedback to improve
Very nice food and atmosphere
Very good food and service
Best Indian food restaurant in Sarnia
Excellent restaurant. Great food and service.
Atmosphere, Food, Pricing Everything was Awesome . Buy Non-Veg Combo if you are single.. Best value... Food : 5/5 |
I ordered chana bhatura and chat papdi for home delivery . When I received the order , Chat papdi was good , But when I open the bhatura it was too oily , over fried , I was not able to eat , full of oil , I was just getting the taste of oil nothing else .
Very bad quality
Today (May 12 2024) we went to Tandoori chaska at 8.30pm. They made us to wait for 20 minutes even there are many vacant seats. Then Preet employee of Tandoori Chaska take us to an unclean wet table, given plates with stains of curry. We ordered 6 orders and also cauliflower 65, tea and coffee. They served cauliflower 65 after 1 hour and 9:45pm Preet came and told we need to change our order or cancel 2 of our orders. We had wasted 1 hr 30min in Tandoori Chaska without food. When I called Tandoori Chaska after heading out asked want to talk to manager, Preet said she is the manager and after hearing our complaints she had given the phone to Mr. Manish who said he is the owner of Tandoori Chaska, such an arrogant man he talked so rudely with me, as he says today is Mothers day so only reserved seats were available and you guys showed up all of sudden but this was never told us when we entered the restaurant at first. Such a bad experience worst owner. Anyway from today onwards we will not visit or order food from here anymore. I am going to share this experience with my friends too.
Customer service is bad,they dont like more than 3 orders, cleanliness is nill, first time did dine in usually I do take out from here, worst experience as dine in. They give free pops for reviews. Will not recommend.
Ate tandoori momos here and got sick. Really bad taste and pungent smell - realized after getting sick.! Hopefully they remove or improve quality.
Excellent atmosphere and great food
Recommend their Chole bhature for authentic punjabi taste. The place is really dark and gloomy though, for dine-in especially when you are there for breakfast.
Its a great Indian place to have good Indian food. Im missing the other person, a boy with the glasses ,not sure of his name the customer service was much, a lot better back in dec- Jan Im not comfortable with the current waitress, I was a regular customer back then and used to visit this place 3 to 4 times a week with my several friends but with the past 1-2 months Im loosing interest in visiting the palace if this is the service that I are gonna offer u might miss a lot of customers including me ... Missing the old guys and their services ....
Good food

Very tasty food and exceptional customer service.
Super service and food was amazing here really appreciated served by sukhpreet
Best butter chicken Ive ever had! Garlic nann and samosas were great and the tandori chicken was perfect and tender. Will be going back everything we are passing by!
I feel so bad writing this but we went for dinner there and the service was so bad. We wanted to order something and the girl serving us insisted theyre closing(which was 20-25 mins before closing time). Also she was in such a hurry that she started taking the things from our table. Worst customer service I have ever experienced.
Good food. High prices. I wish they were a bit more affordable. Servers are great.
Food is not authentic...sweet taste of curries is weird..may be good for people who doesnt know the authentic taste of Indian food....
Great food and friendly staff
Best Biryani I ve had so far. The spice mix is perfect!
I always used to order food from there. Its amazing. Especially Lamb biriyani. The food quality and quantity is great.Hats off to the CHEF .
The ambience of the restaurant is good and the staff is very friendly. Food was awesome!!!!
Best ever biriyani
Food is great especially the biriyani and the customer service is also good.
Its good atmosphere
Great service and Good atmosphere.
Really very bad experience we ordered pranthas and they are not properly cooked when we complained that this is not cooked they behaved so rudely that they cooked it properly after that even they are not sorry for that we totally wasted our money and time here.
the taste, texture, smell, and presentation of the food is great
Really tasty food!!
Good service, marvelous atmosphere...wonderful and tastey fud...
Nice Food & Vibess
Parking: Good atmosphere Food
Amritsari kulcha is not authentic at all, and tastes nothing like kulcha. Potato filling is bland
Drowning out bad reviews with fake 5 stars, this place was shut down for pests and lack of hot water, they reopened far too quickly for my liking.
Excell atmosphere and ambience food is also amazing
Worst Experience ever.... I ordered food on Uber eats for a pickup and when the app showed ready for pickup I went in to pickup the order and I was standing at the counter and I see my food is already sitting on the table.... There were 2 waitress who came down to the counter and were talking to other guys in there native language and were delivering there food and Im standing next to that guy and these girls are least bothered to even ask why am I there for....this is how youll treat your customer... seriously And finally I myself said to one of the girls that my food is sitting on the table and Im here for a pickup and then she finally gave me the food...To the restaurant owner its ridiculous on your employees.... I think u need to teach your employees how to treat a customer and dont have basic etiquettes about how to greet a customer... Im paying for the food you are not giving it for free........ Never coming back again.... Worst... Worst... Worst....!!!
The food was great!! Sukhpreet served us, she is polite and humble.
Good service n food
We always order Lamb Biryani which is our most favourite ones in Canada. We can certainly say it s the No.1 in Taste in whole Sarnia. Quantity is also fairly good.
Always clean & food delicious. Always have to come back
Amazing food and excellent service. Vegetarian options: Great non meat choices Food : 5/5 |
Amazing food. The best place in sarnia. The servers and the cashier is amazing and so co-operative. Food
Excellent!!
Amazing food and customer service.
I vistied tandoori chaska today and ordered chana bhatura. it was so tasty and the girl who served us was so sweet
We went for a dine in, Rubal, rajni they were new girls they served us , amazing experience food was so so to be honest but atmosphere and customer service was amazing. Huge improvement in customer service than the last few years
The staff lacks customer service.
It was one of the best ever food and service I had in North America. I will recommend everyone to visit this place to enjoy authentic and stomach full with value for money. Even anyone reading from Toronto, Mississauga, or Brampton read my review, spend money to travel Sarnia, and enjoy food here with your family, I will always go to this place every time to enjoy food.
We used to go here regularly until they were caught having pests where the food was being prepared. They were closed for a bit to make the required changes and since then they have sunk to paying for reviews. For a sleepy restaurant they ve gained most of their reviews since they got condemned by the Health Unit. Definitely recommend checking Dine Safe before eating here again. Dietary restrictions: Ask for no insects!
Excellent Cuisine
Good customer service
Visited tandoori chaska today. I ordered for chicken fried rice and it was really delicious.. This restaurant have a good ambience.. The service was really great.. Specially Rubal Preet... She gave a warm welcome and treated us really good.. I really appreciate her work.. Good job

Great ambience and quality
I recently had the misfortune of dining at the Restaurant, and let me tell you, it was an absolute disaster. As an avid food enthusiast and lover of Indian cuisine, I can confidently say that this was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had.
Hosted a dinner for 8 friends and was expecting a lot. Ordered chicken (was plain and stale), butter naan (were without butter), service wasn t great either. A total waste of a special occasion and $120. Missed an item and when asked about manager, girl at the cash counter said there is no manager on duty, How s this even possible?. Zero professionalism from whole staff and surely need a refund or equal apolpgy.
Like food was very bad . NOT made good .
The restaurant timings are till 10 pm understand that but the staff asked us to leave as it was past 10pm. Vegetarian options: Garlic naan Parking: Nice and good
Good food at a good price and the service was exceptional

Food was amazing and for a great price. Best Indian restaurant in Sarnia for sure! Butter chicken had so many flavours and was very balanced. I had pani poori for the first time and fell in love!
