What can I say. The best Indian food I have ever tasted. My wife and I have been regulars to Tandoori Corner for over 8 years and we now take pleasure in visiting other Indian restaurants in Australia and recently overseas just to rate them against Tandoori Corner.

So far Tandoori Corner stands as the absolute winner every time. Even after visiting a "Best Indian Restaurant in NSW" at Terrigal we left amazed at how the flavours of the dishes were somewhat watery and lacking in depth compared to the delicious flavours and extremely tender meats at Tandoori Corner (the meats actually melt in your mouth!).

Tandoori Corner has now become a weekly event for us and we look forward to each and every visit. If you do decide to visit Tandoori Corner for the first time take note. When you walk through the front door, stop for a second, and smell the exquisite spicy aromas that fill the restaurant. It's something I do every time we visit. And then be prepared for some of the finest Indian food you will ever taste.

The Tandoori Corner is by no means my local Indian restaurant. It's 20 minutes drive away and there are no less than six Indian restaurants closer to my house than this one. Yet weekly, myself and my family members will make the journey and dine in for no other reason than the fact that it is, in our experience, the finest restaurant of it's type in Sydney.

From the basic ubiquitous favourites like Butter Chicken to the more unique and individual dishes (Lamb Nentara, Chicken Kheema Muttar), Tandoori Corner excels by providing great food with an obvious passion for the traditional art of Indian cookery.

The restaurant is a family run affair, rather than a corporate entity fronted by a multitude of anonymous waitpersons. Rather, the order is taken by the gentleman who runs the restaurant, and his wife is the chef. Rather less like going to eat out than be invited to a friend's house for dinner. The welcoming, congenial atmosphere is a refreshing change in a retail environment. The service is exemplary, and whilst at peak times, the wait may exceed 25 minutes, the knowledge that one will receive a consistently high standard of food more than offsets this.

Having, at various points over the past couple of years, tried most everything on Tandoori Corner's menu, I can clearly say that each and every meal offers the common factor of exceptional taste. Meat is always tender, the food hot and tasty, portions generous and the impression that you are enjoying an authentic, time-honoured family masala.

The kitchen is scrupulously clean and the restaurant is homely and inviting. The prices are consistent with the competitors, but with the exemplary service and food quality, it definitely gives you better value for your money.

I was recommended the Tandoori Corner by a work collegue who knew I appreciated fine Indian food. It is now my recommendation to you.

Perfect. We have been going to the Tandoori Corner for over 15 years now on a regular basis and every single time whether it be take away or dine in the service and quality of food is outstanding. Paramal and his wife are so friendly and a great friend of ours. We have recommended the restaurant to lots of our family and friends who are all regulars now.

The Palombo's love it!

I've been a regular take-away customer for over 4 years and the food is always delicious, the only downfall is the service, although Parimal is very friendly he lacks service skills and attentiveness, you are often left waiting without being seen for long periods while he is in the kitchen.

What can I say I have been a consumer for at least 10 years. I could go to any number of Indian Restaurants in this and surrounding areas and I have. The proof is in the taste. There lies why I have remained loyal to Tandoori Corner as well as its price and you can't go pass the owners and their staff. Know there cuisine, treat their customers with respect and courtesy. I think after 10+ years of patronage I can give a spot on review. Enjoy I do.

First time at Tandoori Corner and I was very surprised. The food was amazing. It was a week night and there were only three tables occupied but I have to say it was a very enjoyable experience all round. Before going in, my grown up son said that he was not very keen on Indian food but come out of Tandoori Corner with a very different opinion. I will certain go back as will my son. Friendly staff/owner (makes a big difference) who made us feel very welcome and offered to order for us next time we go. Well done Tandoori Corner. We will be back.

Having Eaten here 3 times in the last 2 months I have nothing but praise, the service is impeccable, the food flavoursome and diverse. A small dining room gives the feeling of being in a home more so than a restaurant but that is part of the charm.

I have experience this restaurant as both a group of 2 and a group of 10, both times the service and food quality was exactly the same, perfect.

Surprising in one word. Service was slow to start with but picked up towards the end. This was understandable as I believe the owner, waiter and cleaner were one in the same (as I could hear a vacuum cleaner the moment we entered). The food was great and surprising for us as we're not big fans of the spicy aroma. The flavours from the butter chicken, mango chicken and lamb dish were to be commended as this was a lovely delight to the tastebuds.

When my husband originally suggested that we go to Tandoori Corner for a meal, I was less than enthusiastic. Not being a fan of Indian food I was not expecting such a treat. The first thing that struck me was the incredible mix of aromas in the air as we walked in the door. The beautiful blend of cooking spices and other ingredients filled the air so that by the time our meal arrived I was really ready to dig in to the food.

From that first visit we have become regulars. Whenever anyone says to me, "Oh I really don't care for Indian food."my response is just go to Tandoori Corner and you will change your mind.

The food is exquisite. There is a depth of flavour I have not found in ANY Indian restaurant I have gone to since Tandoori Corner.

My husband and I visited this restaurant after reading reviews of it on here, and I must say we were very disappointed. We usually visit another Indian restaurant in Blacktown which we find absolutely wonderful, and we thought we would do the comparison. Well after the food we received, I haven't been back to St Mary's and we are still regulars at Blacktown.

The food we ordered was a vegetable packora, which was nice but dry. Our mains were very bland and watery. Comparing this place to our regular, we found a disliking to the frozen vegies used in the meal as instead of fresh ones and the gravy in the dishes was watery compared to what we are used to. I found the food quite spicy but without flavour, just the hot sensation from the chilli and nothing more.

Quite disappointing. We were provided with complimentary mango lassi's- they were nice but as my husband is allergic to nuts he couldn't drink his (it had pistachio's in it). Luckily I tried mine first and warned him. We did ask for no nuts in our dishes when we walked in, so they were aware. Also, we are big fans of cheese naan bread, their's was highly disappointing. It was very sweet. I like my bread more savoury. It might be a matter of preference, but our preference is to never go back. The menu prices are slightly cheaper then our preferred place in Blacktown, but I prefer quality over price.
