Tucked away on the 4th floor of an unassuming building just 30 seconds from Meguro Station, Tandoor is the kind of hole-in-the-wall you might walk past without a second glance. However, behind its mysterious exterior lies some of the most authentic and consistently delicious Indian curry in all of Tokyo.
The Must-Order Duo: Biryani & Palak Paneer
If you visit Tandoor, there is a legendary combination you cannot skip: the Chicken Biryani and the Palak Paneer (spinach and cheese curry). The biryani arrives fragrant and perfectly spiced, while the palak paneer offers a rich, velvety texture that contrasts beautifully with the fluffy rice. When eaten together, the depth of flavor is truly moving—it’s the reason I find myself returning again and again.
A Masterclass in Indian Spice
Tandoor is one of the true veterans of Tokyo’s Indian food scene, and you can taste that history in every bite. While I am personally obsessed with the biryani and palak combo, I recently branched out to try their mutton curries. The complexity and depth of the spicing were equally impressive, proving that the kitchen doesn’t rely on a single “hero dish.” It stands head and shoulders above many of the more trendy, newer spots in the city.
💬 Verdict
Tandoor is a rare find in Tokyo: a long-standing institution that remains blissfully uncrowded even on weekends. It is my go-to spot for a reliable, soulful meal away from the bustle of Meguro’s main streets. Highly recommended for curry aficionados who value taste over flashy decor and are looking for a quiet, authentic dining experience.
