Very nice to have Café Tandoor as a dining option vs. all of the "typical" and chain places you usually come across.
Food is good, though we find it to be a little pricey. The service is friendly and the restaurant is clean.
My rating is more of a 3.5 than just a 3. I enjoy Café Tandoor and it's a convenient Indian option when in the area.
We've been going to Cafe Tandoor (in Aurora) for about 10 years. Â It's always a good experience with excellent service and good food.
The pakora appetizers are a winner and their curries are very good. Â I usually get it Indian Hot and it never disappoints. Â
They also have a nice variety of vegetarian dishes and excellent selection of breads.
Try the gulab jamun desert (sponge-cake like balls in syrup). Â
Some nice beer selections as well.
Very, very tasty Chicken Tikka Masala. Â My husband and I shared it, along with the good Roti and oh-so-light saffron rice. Â We also split a chai. Â We both raved over the dish and the chai was perfect. Â
 Despite other reviews, this place was almost packed.  Maybe because it was Holi?
 My only complaint would be that our initial service was kind of odd.  We were seated and then kind of ignored, but their redeeming quality is that once we did order, we received our food within 10 minutes. Â
 This was a refreshing culinary experience and was well worth the money.
Café Tandoor is sort of like that slightly strange, but always reliable friend. I have eaten in, as well as ordered take out from here quite a few times, seeing as the specialty of affluent suburbs (read: Aurora, Solon, Hudson, Chagrin Falls etc.) doesn't exactly lie within good Indian food. Let me start by talking about eating in.
This is where the strangeness of your friend comes in, Café Tandoor looks just about like any 'family owned' place would if it were located in a strip mall, but there is one strange, distinguishing factor: It is ALWAYS empty. I'm not exaggerating either; at any given time you can come into this restaurant and expect that you will have the place to yourself, save perhaps maybe two other tables...out of the twenty free. I am not saying this is a bad thing, but if you're not looking for a quite, relaxed, and chill dinner, don't eat in here. The service is usually good, nothing to neither complain nor rave about. They are very good about filling up drinks though...
Onto the reliable part, Café Tandoor's food quality is always consistent and always filling. There has not been a single time where I did not get exactly what I was looking for. Note though, that I did have a specific thing in mind, good, i.e. not mind blowing, Indian food. If you want something other than the usual pizza and breadsticks take out (and have a little more scrilla in your pocket) hit up Café Tandoor. In terms of take out, portions are good, they always get your order exactly right, and the quality is never compromised. Your belly WILL be satisfied, your wallet on the other hand, may not be. I concede that for what you get, this place tends to overcharge just a little. Not a biggie, just watch what you get and don't be a regular!
Overall, I would definitely suggest Café Tandoor to anyone in the area looking for something a little different but satisfying. Just remember what I said, strange but reliable, make sure you're looking for what they have to offer!
I've had Indian food a few times. I usually enjoy it as long as my mouth still has feeling at the end of the meal (spicy and I don't always agree).
However.
One of the few reviewers in the far Southeast of Cleveland, I must regrettably bestow my first 3 star rating on yelp (ever) to Cafe Tandoor. Is the food good? Yup. Quite good.
But I don't need to pay that much for Indian food.
My girlfriend and I had a late meal on a snowy weekday, a sure way to have a restaurant to yourself in the 'burbs. That part was nice. Ambiance was calm and service was good. I had a tasty lamb dish, she had a grilled veggie platter. Samosas were  shared between us and were probably my favorite part of the meal.
When you're in the 'burbs there really aren't too many dining options. I would go back here, but with a plan and hopefully with a kind friend offering to pick up the tab.
