EXCELLENT Based on 195 reviews Posted on Rue BarretoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. we visited on a saturday around 7.30, walking in we were greeted by a server which seemed to be the only staff handling the front of house. Not too busy, but the smell of incense sticks were quite strong, a bit too strong to the point you want to step out and get some fresh air. We ordered the fresh nimbu paani as shown on the menu, did not come with any description, so as most indian restaurants serve limbu paani with soda, lime and salt and sugar to liking, that is what we were expecting, but no it came in a fainted brown colour, with spices inside the drink, it tasted like pani puri water instead of fresh lime soda. moreover, food wise we ordered a smoked murgh makhni which had less chicken pieces and more curry , butter and garlic naan which were reasonably priced, but the chicken lollipop tasted really odd, the batter smelt funky while the chicken tasted as if it was expired, it did not taste good, it was really dry, and is usually supposed to come with a sauce to dip it in but we got nothing. really do not be fooled by the setting, the food and drinks is not that great which left us with tummy problems, please beware, we will not be visiting again.Posted on Akshay KocharekarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice Andhra style cuisine. Good Service and attention.Posted on Nitin HegdeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very unpleasant experience on a very special day. We have always loved their food but dine in experience was the worst. Booked a table with valentine menu, once seated we were told it wasn’t available. Drinks were served after 20 mins. Had ordered orange juice for my little one, was told after 15 mins that it’s not available and was then served some fizzy lemon drink even after saying we wanted still drink. No starters were served even after an hour. Meanwhile we did see at least 5 to 8 deliveries being done! Fed up we finally asked to pack our food to take out after waiting for over 1.5 hrs. We have no complaints with the person attending us. Anu was pleasant and apologetic throughout and to be honest did her best. It was the overall mismanagement that ticked us off. We still love their food and would order take away but might never visit again.Posted on James KeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rich deep flavours and generous portions. Can recommend their specials! My only regret is being too full to try desserts.Posted on nishant patelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking for a place that nails both the food and the vibe, Tanatan is it! From the moment you walk in, the quirky decor and those iconic copper bells set a fantastic mood. We tried the fusion starters and the signature Butter Chicken—the balance of traditional spices with a modern twist was spot on. It’s the perfect spot for a celebration or a fun night out with friends. Great service, delicious food, and even better vibes. Highly recommended!"Posted on Shojiro FrankTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Individual curry taste were amazing.Posted on Anthony HamorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yesterday we enjoyed an amazing meal at Tanatan. It was my first time visiting, and both the food and service truly impressed me. The restaurant was quite busy while we were there, but the staff still made us feel very welcome and happy. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Tanatan Dal, and a spicy paneer starter (I forgot the exact name), and everything was delicious. The spicy paneer dish was my absolute favorite! Very happy with the experience and looking forward to visiting again. Thank you!Posted on Simon PalmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The restaurant was very busy, which shows how popular it is. We ordered both starters and mains, and everything was prepared beautifully. The food was excellent! I especially loved the Gobi Manchurian, Rara Gosht, and the special lamb – all were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The service was also great, and the team made sure we had a wonderful dining experience. Thank you to the team at Tanatan! We will definitely be visiting again.
