Tandoori Times 3 Indian Bistro

If you want to dine on really good, reasonably priced Indian food, this is the place to go. The dining room is spacious with contemporary Indian-themed decor, the ambiance is casual and upscale at the same time, the servers are very friendly, and the entrees are really tasty. And if the weather is good, you may even want to dine al fresco at the spacious patio area.

Bought a Groupon voucher to try out this place. Here's what we ordered:

- Chicken Tikka Masala......the sauce is good but white meat chicken chucks are kind of tough and dry.

- Goa Prawn Curry......mild sauce and a little sweet. Tasty prawns but ONLY 6 PRAWNS in an order for $13.95. Although they use tiger prawns which are a little bigger, but this order doesn't look like a dinner entrée at all, more like a kids meal, only a plate of sauce with few prawns swimming there.

- Lamb Biryani......lamb cubes are yummy and tender! Next time we better try Lamb Tikka Masala instead of chicken.

- Garlic Naan & Aloo Naan......both are yummy and good size. Aloo Naan is my favorite, soft and thick, wonderful for dipping curry sauce.

- Seasoned rice.....great for any curry dishes.

Overall, nice and comfortable environment, attentive waiters, self-serve complimentary chai (milk tea) was pretty good. It was a good experience with Groupon voucher, otherwise it's a little pricey for the entrée portion size.

Would go back to try other lamb dishes and their yummy Naan.

I came by this restaurant one evening as I was having a craving for Indian food and this was just a couple of miles away from my home.

I got the mango lassi, the tikka masala paneer and paneer battered in some gravy. I wish I could remember the name of it!

Here's the breakdown.

Service is really quite good. I went in and took a couple of minutes to pick something out. The girl at the hostess' table was attentive, and whilst waiting multiple people stopped by to make sure I had been taken care of. She made sure to bring the mango lassi out to me first, as well, which was nice!

The tikka masala was delicious. Spicy and with a depth of flavor that was awesome. The paneer was chewy, and could have been tastier, but really, why would you want to compete with the sauce?

The fried paneer was perhaps the most mediocre of the punch. As mentioned before, the paneer by itself was a bit unremarkable, and the spices and the tangy tamarind dipping sauce it came in wasn't something to my preference. Not awful, just not my favorite. It was also a bit rubbery, but we all know fried things don't travel well.

My biggest gripe is that... when I got home, I found out they hadn't included rice with my order!!! I'm sorry, but that is NOT good. I need rice to eat with my tikka masala. I could have made some of my own, but that rather defeats the purpose of take out!!

Not a deal breaker, but definitely left a slight sour note in my mouth. If you order take out make sure to request rice.

Being close to my home and office, I have been to this joint quite a few times and its high time I put in good words for the great quality of food and the amazing friendly service that they provide. I am a vegetarian they do have many veggie options.
The ambience is great.. a cool mix of modern and traditional indian interior.

The lunch menu is also good and very filling. For the dinner menu too their servings are large enough for two. Ask for spicy food and they'll make sure its the way you expected..

The staff is very friendly.. Nargis, Freva and Sussanna.. all are very lively. They have some good collection of wines too.. I'd love to try out the bar some day!

A friend just moved into the area and we decided to check out this joint! We are both HUGE indian food fans and this place did not disappoint.

We both ordered the chicken tikka masala and it was very good. the sauce was thick and flavorful and was mostly white meat. I tend to like my chicken tikka masala with dark meat as i find it has more flavor. anyhow, i ordered my dish spicy, but it was not spicy at all. i find that when i ask for spicy at indian joints (and thai joints for that matter) they don't really believe me since its never spicy enough! i asked for additional spice to kick it up a notch and they brought out some jalapeno peppers. It wasn't exactly what i was looking for, but whatevs.

we also ordered the chicken biryani and it was very good. you can tell they make everything homemade because the biryani was fresh! it had a great flavor, but was a little goopy, for lack of a better term. it was still delicious though!

now let's get to the best part...the garlic naan. YUM! damn, they know how to make some naan!

if i were in the neighborhood again i would hit this place up, but i wouldn't go out of my way to get there.

Great and flavorful food. Plus friendly service.

I totally suggest trying the tandoori wings appetizer. They are so good that I daydream about them.

So I'm finally caving in and writing a review about Tandoori Times 3. The food is excellent, but pricey. I took a friend for his birthday and it cost me just over $60 for the both of us.

The night we went they had belly dancers and amazing eastern music. The music was a little bit on the loud side. I had never seen a live belly dancer and I was totally impressed - she worked the room and it wasn't at all uncomfortable. My friend really enjoyed her dancing and the music too.

The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because the wait staff really sucked. You guys really need to get it together in this area, I read some of the other reviews and this is a common theme for you.

I will visit this place again, but if the wait staff hasn't improved I will re-rate this place and never show up again.

My first time here. Food was great! Large portions at a good price. Great looking place too. Super clean and nice. Had an outdoor sitting area with misters as well. Service was GREAT! So friendly and helpful! Our servers last time we Fariba and Sayed and couldnt have asked for better staff! I will definitely be back here!
Oh and they had a GREAT belly dancer to see on this saturday night while we ate! Good addition!

First off I think that everyone reading this needs to go show them some love! There were only two sets of diners during lunch the day we were there. I'm not saying it's perfect but it was quite good. We had a groupon which made it a great deal. The prices were good for the groupon but otherwise a bit steep.

The service was excellent and my coconut curry chicken was very good. They charge you for rice, which is a bummer.....but the rice was very flavorful by itself. Portions are adequate and mine was extremely tasty.

My companion was not as impressed with her food. She got a vegan dish which had to be remade due to chicken broth being used (the server caught it and had it remade.) However, she asked for it to be 8/10 on the spice scale and I could eat it (and I'm a wuss!) My dish was supposedly a 5/10 and I was fine with it. So I don't understand their scale for hotness.

Overall it was a good lunch. Just not sure if it was good enough to go back for!

We really love here!
I've lived in India for a half year, and sadly... I like it more here.
We always order paneer tikka masala with garlic naan...really good!
On lunch times we also like to order lamb seekh kabob.
We also tried Tandoori times 2 but I would give 2.5 stars there.
Even though it's a bit further than 2 it's worth the drive.
It's really weird that there are only like 4 customers everytime I visit.
I wonder how they make money.
