Tandoor Char House is a spot worth visiting! When I have night classes, Tandoor is my go-to for food. As an office manager at the Chicago Real Estate Institute, my schedule can be busy, often keeping me working late. Thankfully, Tandoor Char House has become my go-to during those long nights. The food is consistently excellent, always satisfying with its flavors and spices.Not only is the cuisine top-notch, but the service is also fantastic. The staff members are friendly, accommodating, and always ensure a pleasant dining experience. Whether I'm craving their fusion tacos and burgers or other flavorful options, Tandoor Char House never disappoints. On pay day, I usually treat myself to their rib-eye, which is absolutely delicious!I've lost count of how many times I've dined here, and each visit leaves me wanting more. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day. Whether you're an office manager like myself at the Chicago Real Estate Institute or just someone looking for a dining experience, I highly recommend Tandoor Char House. Trust me; it's worth it!

I reviewed this place a few months back, and management contacted me to email them. I sent email and never received a response. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE ITS OVERCOOKED, And OVERPRICED . There are better indian/pakistani restaurants you can order from. The owner and chefs for this place should not be in business. Ban this place.

This food is MUY BUENO. Unique well prepared dishes. The one thing that got me was the unheard of spiciness in this universe. My friends and I thought we were some spicy high rollers and were ballin straight tears in this fine dining environment. We were like camels. AND THAT WAS MEDIUM. There's two more LEVELS of hotness: hot and SPICY. Turns out we weren't even in spicy land. Just some weenie hut junior baby sauce land I suppose. You ain't got no taste buds no more if you're eatin spicy. Really fantastic meal tho.

Love this place…The food is very consistent. Usually I order to go, but dining in has also been a nice experience (although the space is very compact). The staff is very polite and helpful.

Tandoor Char House was wonderful to work with for a catered event! The staff was amazing with our coordination needs, the food was properly packaged and labeled with our dietary restriction needs, and our students said it was the best meal we catered yet!

I’ve been here several times. If you’re ok with a small hole in the wall with literally one server but are also looking for one of the best Pakistani/Indian food you’ll ever eat…this is your place. I can’t stress enough how good ALL the food at this place is. And you’ll be surprised with how low your bill will be. BYOB too.

I ordered delivery for Restaurant Week. The samosa, butter chicken, lamb karai, and saag paneer lacked the intense masala flavorings one expects in a good curry. The saag had more tomato than saag, and the curries were a bit on the watery side. The wings were sweet and only three came in an order. It seems they cater to Western taste buds, but it's just not my preference. On a positive note, their mango cheesecake was delicious.

Ordered during restaurant week. Absolutely bland, watery and disgusting. I can understand they are trying to give the non indian people a bit of taste of India (just a hint) but my request to the owners is..please be transparent and call out loud and clear to Indian clients or people who want real taste of India, that - "hey, this is not what you are expecting in the name of Indian food. Please stay away and save your money!!"

After ordering takeout from this place regularly for at least a couple years, this place has taken a turn for the worse.It started with an order where the chutney sent was totally spoiled. The sweet, tangy chutney was RANCID. Fermented to the point the plastic container audibly sighed as I took the top off. Again, having ordered from them many many many times, I called the restaurant to let them know they were sending out spoiled chutney. The guy was apologetic and promised a full refund which was a nice gesture—it also never came. Ok, not going to crucify you for not refunding an order over one item even though it was disgusting and made me spit out my food. But don’t say you’re going to do something and then not do it…The worst part is I tried them a few more times since then and EACH TIME the chutney has arrived the same. Foul smelling and spoiled. Seriously disgusting and unbelievable that it continued to occur. What the hell is going on with food storage?In addition to this, my husband said that their chicken the past few times was just simply not as good. So disappointing from a place we exclusively ordered our Indian from. Never again!

Second time in and it was incredible again. The tandoor items are a must…the Mahi Mahi was our favorite. Every dish we had was so flavorful. Excellent staff/service and BYOB. Good music choices as wellCannot recommend Tandoor enough for dine in and or take out!
The atmosphere was amazing and service was great. The food was okay definitely could taste better:) thank you!

We ordered a large catering order for a party a few weeks ago. The food was absolutely delicious. Special thanks to the chef for recommending the samosas, they were excellent. The gulab jamun and mango kulfi were a hit with our guests. Great service, we’ll come back for sure!
