tldr: -Food not as advertised (chicken tikka masala was a chicken leg and wing with bones covered in an oil-only [no tomato in it] curry.) -Horrible customer service -Employees dont understand English -Water is not free -Bathrooms are dirty -Venue looks dead and abandoned almost Stopped by on a Sunday after seeing some great reviews on another website. I was excited to go have some chicken tikka masala as I always do when I go to Indian restaurants. After entering the empty establishment, I greeted the employee cleaning one of the tables. He stared at me and didnt say a word. He gave a puzzled smile as if he was wondering what I was doing there. I asked, "can we sit anywhere?" He didnt reply and just continued to make eye contact. He then understood what I was asking him and in very broken English told us where to sit. He sat us at a dirty table. I had to ask him to please clean it. The other female employee then came over to give us a single laminated sheet with the menu items. The menus were dirty and covered with food. My menu looked like baby poo had gotten on it (yes really). They didnt seem to care about it. The male employee then came back and asked us what we would like to drink. My friend and I both asked for water. He then walked over to a mini fridge and got us two small bottles of water. We were puzzled since most restaurants will provide you with ice water in glasses. We also didnt know if these bottles were complimentary. We had to ask and they told us it was indeed extra ($1.00 per 16 oz bottle). Upon looking at the menu, I chose to order what I came for. Chicken Tikka Masala is advertised as boneless chicken (as is the case in every Indian restaurant Ive been to). I decided to order this along with naan. The waiter had an almost impossible time understanding our order. I asked him for white rice and naan as an additional side. He then asked us to wait while he went to the kitchen to ask if they still had any left. The female employee came over once more and told us that the only Chicken Tikka Masala they had left had potatoes in it. She also told us they had RUN OUT OF WHITE RICE. How can an Indian restaurant not have white rice?? We decided to continue ordering since we were already extremely hungry. Once we received the order, I realized the curry was NOTHING like Ive had in other places. This curry was ALL OIL with spices (not tomato as in every tikka masala Ive had elsewhere). The chicken was NOT boneless. I received exactly one leg and a wing in my curry and it was mostly bones. The rest was potatoes mixed in the spiced oil. The lady also forgot to get us the naan we asked for to both her and the male employee who initially took our order. When we brought it up to her attention, she acted defensively as if we had never ordered any. Our naan finally came out after we were done eating. We had it as dessert, basically. Apart from the food, the establishment looked as if not much attention had been given to its appearance. The bathrooms were dirty and there were no paper towels. They had a stack of thin napkins in lieu of paper towels. There was urine on the bathroom floor and the hand soap was the cheapest they could find at a dollar store. Also, why we were there, a gentleman walked in to pick up an order he had placed over the phone. When he arrived, his order wasnt ready and the female employee admitted to him that she forgot about his order since they were supposedly busy earlier. Overall, I am never going back. The bad customer service along with food that was nothing like advertised will have me looking for a better place if Im back in the area. Would NOT recommend.

I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. I spoke with the chef before placing my order via phone who confirmed what I wanted to order was available at their restaurant. 30 mins later after placing my order I arrived only to be told "we dont have what you want to order". I understand they are a up and coming restaurant but you dont lie to customers over the phone and when they arrive give them lip for what they ordered. Not only was there miscommunication with the menu & chef. Every table in this restaurant looked as if a family previously had a buffet without being cleaned. I didnt want to be rude, nor was I disrespectful to management or my waitress. I didnt drink the water because the pitcher of water they placed at my table was filthy along with the cups I received. To top off this fantastic experience, my food was served on a paper plate and 20 mins after my colleagues was food was brought to our table, which wasnt what he ordered either. I felt as if they didnt want our business. This isnt my first go around at this place, I believe in giving people a second chance, but in turn I experienced the same type of service I encountered before. If you are looking to eat at an established Indiana restaurant in the Plymouth/Canton area, I urge you not to dine here!!! The only reason I stopped in was because Delhi Hut was closed the day I was craving Indian Food. If you want quality food & service I would highly recommend eating at the Delhi Hut!

Placed my order over the phone for 3 lamb biryani and one Chana masala and when I arrived there was a sign on the door saying they would open at 5 and it was 4:30. So I walked in as the door wasnt locked and asked for my order. The person there said he only made one biryani and apologized saying he could make the rest of my order in 5 minutes. After getting my food home I was missing part of my order so I returned to the restaurant to find a new hand written sign saying open at 6 now and the door locked so I knocked on the window and they finally came to the door to open it. They admitted their mistake and apologized again and I took my food home to eat. Lamb was completely inedible and the only thing that could be consumed was the rice and the Chana masala. Seems like these restaurants change owners faster than you can even fairly rate them. Its like community laundry just being passed from one to the next.This visit will make me stay away for hopes of a new owner with some consistency in business and food.

This was the worst experience Ive ever had with an Indian restaurant. From ordering over the phone and being hung up on, to walking into the store and bring treated as if I were an intruder, the "customer service" was nonexistent. I waited an hour for two entrees and they werent even busy! The woman in the kitchen literally scowled at me as I paid way too much for food that we had to throw away. Both entrees were inedible. The naan bread was sour, and what passes for lamb korma was disgusting. Im considering calling my bank to stop payment, and thats something Ive never done before. Save yourself the disappointment and trouble. Dont risk trying this place. Im sure there are good Indian restaurants in the area, but Tandoori Corners isnt one of them.

Unlike some of the recent reviewers, our experience eating here was quite decent. The butter chicken, chicken biryani, naan were quite nice and authentic (this is coming from someone whos eaten at multiple Indian/Pakistani restaurants and maybe Pakistani restaurants in pakistan). Disclaimer: we accompanied someone who was "experienced" at eating in this restaurant so he knew the trick to getting served in a timely manner (call ahead and order in advance). Otherwise, food might take a while to arrive. Id probably go again.
