Tandoori Bar & Eatery brings a full table-service Indian restaurant and bar to Matua Road in Huapai. The kitchen looks beyond a single regional style, drawing on cooking from both northern and southern India. Punjab-inspired dishes sit beside flavours shaped by mustard and curry leaf, while reservations, takeaway and delivery allow the menu to work for an evening at the restaurant or a meal at home.
Several house highlights show the menu's regional ambition. Rustic goat curry offers a slow-cooked option, while Nalli Nihari appears as a seasonal special. Nilgiri Korma takes the selection southward, and a tandoori salad provides a fresher route through the clay-oven side of the kitchen. Availability can change with the restaurant's seasonal programme.
There is also a strong collection of familiar curries for diners who arrive with a favourite already in mind. Butter chicken is joined by korma, rogan josh and chicken tikka masala. Cheese garlic naan brings richness to the bread basket and is well suited to sharing with several sauces, making it easy to build a varied order for the table.
The last Wednesday of each month is set aside for a buffet, offering a different way to sample the kitchen beyond a standard à la carte meal. Vegetarian and vegan choices broaden the appeal for mixed groups, and the bar component adds alcoholic drinks to the table-service experience. Reservations, pickup and delivery make the restaurant adaptable to both planned occasions and straightforward local dining.
