Well after arriving from India , this was my first experience at an Indian restaurant in Victoria. The samosa were awesome … , Nan was bit oily and paneer pieces were huge . But not complaining , good experience overall and friendly staff as well. Buffet is worth for options available.
It was a blustery evening and we thought we’d try Sizzling Tandoor in Langford for some comforting Indian food. I mention this all the time but it’s always a welcome sight to see successful downtown restaurants pop up out in the burbs where the population is booming and good local eateries are desperately needed. Sizzling Tandoor is one of those welcome additions. We walked in and were greeted right away by the hostess. The big open space is chic and inviting and tastefully decorated with a modern aesthetic. A nice place for a quiet meal or date night. Service was on point, especially the general manager Kirn who was incredibly warm, welcoming, sincere and friendly. We enjoyed chatting with her and she made some excellent recommendations for us. Food was served promptly starting with the pakoras which were crisp on outside, soft and flavourful on inside. The tamarind chutney was the perfect accompaniment. The warm naan arrived bubbled and charred ever so slightly from being baked on the walls of the tandoori oven. We tried both the traditional garlic basil and spinach-stuffed and they were delicious. The hubs enjoyed the tandoori chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, grilled in the clay oven, and served sizzling hot on a cast iron platter. The tikka masala curry with prawns was my favourite dish. Rich, creamy, spicy, complex flavours. The best tikka masala sauce I’ve ever tasted. I’ve been craving it ever since… The lunch buffet special sounds like a deal and a good opportunity to try different dishes, including vegetarian. We opt to order off the menu for our favourite dishes and to adjust our preferred spice level. Prices are not inexpensive but quality is top.We were thoroughly impressed with ambience, service and food. Side note: We had visited just days before the devastating tragedy of one of their chefs being killed in a horrific car crash (he was struck on the sidewalk while on his way to work after celebrating his four-year-old son’s birthday). When we heard the news we were shocked and heart-broken and to see Kirn rise up and start a fundraising campaign to support his wife -pregnant with twins- was incredibly heart-warming and a testament to the spirit of this restaurant. We will be back not only because of the delicious food but because of the family and community of people working at Sizzling Tandoor. Sizzling Tandoor is a wonderful addition to Langford and we highly recommend a visit.
We really like this restaurant in Uptown. Had to check out one in Langford. Food was good. The restorant itself is not. Feels like dining in a barn. Very impersonal design, dull light, super depressing music.
