Tandoori Nights — a brilliant mess with a golden center
Rating evidence first: this place carries a strong 4.6 out of 5 from 398 reviews. That number alone promises a lot. It also hides the jagged edges you must know about before you walk in.
Food: sublime peaks and one serious safety blind spot
The kitchen produces stellar dishes that send people giddy. Signature hits named by guests include Shorma Lamb and an audacious Pizza Marsala, plus a cheese naan that one reviewer calls the best in the world. A different reviewer praised an eggplant masala for its excellent consistency and seasoning. Those are concrete menu high points you need to order.
Now the alarm. A guest dependent on vegan food was assured twice that several dishes could be made vegan, accepted that assurance, then suffered a severe stomach ache after the meal because non vegan ingredients were used. That is not a minor miscommunication. For anyone with intolerances or allergies this is potentially dangerous. Treat staff assurances as tentative unless confirmed in writing or with very specific ingredient checks.
Service: warm hospitality collides with capacity collapse
Several guests report exceptional frontline hospitality. The owner personally makes guests feel welcome and staff are repeatedly described as friendly, generous and attentive. One visitor arrived late and was still looked after with calm professionalism.
Counterpoint: during a rainy, busy evening the restaurant appeared understaffed and many tables waited an unusually long time for food. Expect rapid swings. When the room is calm, service is a highlight. When packed, the operation shows strain and waits lengthen noticeably.
- Actionable tip for service swings: book a table or arrive well before peak evening times to lock in the attentive version of the service rather than the stressed version.
Practicalities that actually shape your night
The doors are open every day from 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM, which gives you a wide window to hit the calmer hours. Pricing sits at a moderate level, so you will not be shocked by the bill but you are not in bargain basement territory either.
Payment is card friendly: credit and debit cards are accepted. The place is not cash only and it does not support NFC payments. If you prefer contactless phone payments check before you go.
Parking is convenient for drivers with both a free parking lot and free street parking nearby. Accessibility is a genuine plus: wheelchair accessible parking and seating are available, making this a realistic option for diners who need mobility accommodations.
Location context matters. The restaurant sits near a cluster of lodging and cafes including The Title Rawai Aparthotel by HSS, The Barrel Cafe and Baristar Coffee Phuket. That makes it an easy choice for tourists or anyone based locally who wants a nearby Indian dinner option.
What the mixed reviews actually tell you
The data shows strong popularity and recurring praise for flavor and atmosphere. It also shows inconsistent operational execution when demand spikes and a single, serious failure around vegan assurance and ingredient handling. Those two tensions define the emotional rollercoaster you are buying into: blissful plates and warm owners shadowed by risky miscommunication and occasional service bottlenecks.
Go for the dishes you cant stop thinking about. Bring a plan to avoid the chaos.
Final call and how to survive the swings
- Who should go: lovers of bold Indian flavors, fans of fusion experiments like Pizza Marsala, and travelers staying in nearby lodging.
- Who should be cautious: strict vegans, anyone with severe allergies or intolerances. Confirm ingredients explicitly and get a manager to verify on the record before ordering.
- How to get the best version: visit early or mid afternoon, reserve a table, order the standout items highlighted by reviewers, and avoid peak rainy nights when understaffing has been reported.
Bottom line: Tandoori Nights can knock your socks off and ruin your night, sometimes both in the same evening. The result is a place I respect for its cooking and want to warn you about for its operational inconsistencies. Go hungry, go bold, but go prepared.
