Review Tandoori Gardan - Sault Ste. Marie

I'm not from Sault Ste. Marie but I'm visiting for work and was craving Indian food for dinner so I gave this place a try. I ordered the meat platter from the appetizer menu which was really a small plate, definitely not a platter. It was alright. It had two kinds of meat, one kind of pakora and one samosa. My disappointment was with the main dish. I ordered the butter chicken which is a classic Indian dish that's on every single Indian restaurant menu. I was very underwhelmed for several reasons. First of all, quantity. The amount of chicken was very little. They gave me a huge plate of white basmati rice and small portion of butter chicken. Definitely not proportionate. Secondly, it did not taste like butter chicken. It tasted like a regular chicken dish with sauce but definitely not butter chicken. Butter chicken is supposed to be creamy and the sauce is supposed to be thick. This dish was neither. It also didn't have the garam masala flavour that's usually in every butter chicken recipe. Another thing that upset me was WATER. I only asked for a cup of water and it came at room temperature. Not even a little bit cold. And it was served to me in a small plastic cup. Shouldn't it be glass for any dine in restaurant?

For the price it is pound for pound the best middle Eastern cuisine in the district. Always a crew of friendly serving staff, fresh garlic naan and a delicious special everyday. Yesterday's butter chicken was phenomenal. The interior could use a bit of an update but the menu needs to stay exactly how it is. DELICIOUS.

Dined in and ordered chicken biryani and palak paneer. The palak paneer serving was surprisingly larger, but the roti was lacking. The spices in the biryani was good, enjoyed the taste. Ample parking at the back of the restaurant as well which I appreciate.

We chose this for dinner as it was at walking distance from our hotel. It's at a prime location and food is good too. There was ample of seating space but always call before as they close early. Warm hospitality and good food, what else can you ask for? Quantity was sufficient to feed 2 humgry people.

The waitress was great the food kind of warm not hot upon arrival. The rice pudding was way too sweet. The price was fair but that was it

Visiting the Sault and we stopped on for dinner. Staff recommended our dinner and everything was great. Chicken Biryani was excellent. Naan was really good too. Friendly service. Good value

Really good food considering the limited halal options that are available

Super tasty food! Their butter chicken is the best butter chicken I've had so far! Prices on the costly side but are matched with super big portion sizes. One meal could feed two! Their service is really friendly and I've always had a great experience eating there. Their catering services are also absolutely fantastic and one of the best in town! I used to work and volunteer at the university when I was a student and we used their catering services all the time! They were always so reliable and provided great food!
