Tandoori Fire

Love this new restaurant!We are local business owners and appreciate having a quality Indian restaurant on the block. Definitely give them a try.Love the chicken tikka masala + cheese naanThis is one portion split, fair pricing.

tl;dr: they're figuring it out, great flavor, a tad pricey, Butter Naan: Straightforward buttery naan, no complaints. Cooked well, slightly crispy but still mostly soft.Chicken Tikka Masala: 10/10, loved it. Full bodied, generous amount of chicken, a touch of heat. If you have 0, and I mean 0, spice tolerance, you might want to ask them to tone it down.Butter Chicken: 10/10, loved it. Again, just a tiny bit of heat, overall great.Basmati Rice: It's rice. Fluffy, no frills, portioned for 3-4 people.Last week there was a $18 Thali lunch plate being advertised in the window, but when I popped in to grab it a few days ago, the paper was missing and they told me they were 'out of it'. I'm guessing it wasn't profitable enough, but still, it would have been a great option for a solo diner. I walked in around 1 PM and the restaurant was mostly full. The staff were very friendly and the food was quick, roughly 15 minutes from the time I ordered. The flavors of everything was spot on and is exactly what you want from Indian food. There are a few reviews complaining about portion sizes and I think that mainly stems from the price. I could be wrong, but I remember the Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala being $18 and not the $16 that's shown on the Yelp pictures. If you're skipping naan and rice, you'll probably need one entree per person, but otherwise, 1 entree is probably enough for two people.I have two minor complaints. I wish there was a Thali option or a lunch plate. Lunch for one (one entree, naan, rice, water) will be about $25 before tip. Second complaint, there needs to be some noise dampening. Unless the place is full, everyone can hear everything and everything echoes.Will absolutely be back, hope they stick around.

Saag paneer: paneer tasted homemade, very tender, flavorful. Saag perfectly spiced. We ordered delivery and we couldn't specify spice level based on their DoorDash setting but it was a medium that was great for most of us. Chicken tikka masala: love the fennel, nuts, and range of flavor. Not average CTM.Daal Tadka: so comforting with rice on a cold day. Aloo baingan was delicious. Medium spice.Loved lamb biryani. Higher spice level, like medium-high.Kids loved mango lassi.Salad is tomato, green bell, onion, lemon. Typical for desi salad. Great mixed into stuff but don't expect it as a side salad on its own.Chicken pakora not great. Dry. We ordered chicken tenders for the kids but got pakora replacement. Not recommended.They were out of fries so can't comment but another item we wanted for the kids.Great naan

The food is delicious, but it's incredibly overpriced for lunch. $19 just for an entree before anything else (naan, drinks, etc). I hope they implement a lunch special soon.

I have been meaning to try this place out because it launched recently. Walked by on Thanksgiving and noticed it was open. Went back home and later in the day I placed an order for pickup on Doordash. They never confirmed the order so I assumed they closed early or forgot to click to accept. No problem, I walked over 15-20 minutes later to find out. They didn't have the order ready, but I mentioned what was in it and they took 5 minutes or so to get it together. Walked back home with a mango lassi in hand that was a nice balance of yogurt and fruit. The chicken tikka masala was solid with some garlic naan. Only complaint in terms of the food is that I got 2 samosas and fries for the vegetarian appetizer sampler which doesn't match up with the menu description. I also didn't receive rice or see a way to add it to the order. After they called me twice and left a voicemail requesting to mark the order as complete but I have no way to do that because they didn't confirm the order on Doordash in the first place. Not going to rank them too harshly on that because I suspect they will get this sort of thing figured out in time. Considering it's a new restaurant and a national holiday I'm pleased with the experience. Thanks for opening up in Downtown!

On the way to the Kings game we walked past this little door on this huge dirty street full of homeless people. We decided to go in because it was lit up beautifully. Took a sec to get seated although the place was empty. Big place too. Decent menu. Kinda pricey. Small servings I thought. We eat a lot of Indian food. Service was just ok. Other patrons came in after us. They got better service. Faster and their food came out faster. Maybe fellow countrymen. ifykyk. Food was ok. Way spicy. My husband got the Tiki marsala and I got a random mix platter. No rice came with the food. We didn't know to order it. So we order a rice. It was small so asked for another. He was cool and brought one out giving me a side eye lol. The water was very good. That's what matters to me. Food was mid. Clean place tho as far as I could see.$47.

I had a birthday party here with a reservation for 15 people. I was calling around early the week of and struggling to find a restaurant that could take such a big reservation. They immediately accepted and called later in the week to check in with me and confirm. My party trickled in late and the staff were so kind and always checking on us, but not rushing us in anyway. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and spicy. Everything we ordered was amazing including their mango lassi drink. You can even smell the spices outside as you approach. The food also came out fairly quickly for so many people. Very nice vibe inside too. Definitely recommend trying this place.

This new Indian restaurant is a great new addition to the neighborhood and has become my go-to Indian restaurant! Their butter chicken is rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. I also can't get enough of their pakoras; they're crispy and fresh. The restaurant itself is clean, inviting, and the staff is always friendly and attentive.If you're in the area and craving Indian cuisine, do yourself a favor and check out Tandoori Fire. Highly recommend it!

Food was very good and flavorful and came out hot but not too fast. The service was good and the atmosphere is very laid back. Definitely would recommend in the Sacramento area

Was craving something with flavor and decided to try this restaurant. Chicken tikka masala was packed with flavor 10/10. Garlic nan and vegetable samosas are a must. Definitely will order again.
