Tandoori Express - Oakhurst, California

I ordered butter chicken. The guy served butter chicken gravy with burnt left over chicken. The chicken smell is not fresh. It's a horrible experience, I asked the manager of restaurant, he was rudely saying this is how we serve, and some time, you get 1 or 2 burnt chicken pieces. No Americans or white people complained. I felt very sad. This restaurant is a disgrace reputation of indian cuisine. I suggest all my friends and family avoid this restaurant in the future.

Shrimp butter masala is good to me, so creamy and rich. Garlic naan is garlicky but not pungent. We also love the mango lassi. Overall a good place to have some hearty meal.

The food tasted amazing and they gave the order perfectly on time. The quantity was slightly low for the price. That was the only let down. Otherwise I loved it here. Location is also very convenient.

This place was a complete disaster. The food was awful, and the service was even worse. The Tandoori chicken was raw, which is unforgivable. The butter chicken tasted like garbage, and when we complained, the staff had the audacity to claim that’s just how they make it. As if anyone would willingly serve such disgusting food. On top of that, the staff were incredibly rude and accused us of "manipulating the bill." What a joke! We’re from India, and we’ve eaten Indian food all over the US, and this was by far the most inauthentic, tasteless garbage we’ve ever had. If you’re still skeptical about our review, go ahead and scroll through all the other 1-star reviews—the responses from the restaurant alone will make you realize how shady this place is. Looks like they have enough fake accounts to post multiple positive comments after every negative comment and manage to get a 4+ rating. Avoid this place at all costs.

I visited an Indian restaurant in Yosemite, which was a surprise find. The atmosphere was nice, but the staff seemed a bit arrogant and unwelcoming. The naans and curries were tasty and enjoyable, but I'd recommend skipping the biryanis as they weren't up to par. Overall, it was a mixed experience with good food but not-so-friendly service.

Updating the review form 5 star to 2 after Feb 2025 visit.

We'd visited in 2023, and really enjoyed the food!
We were excited to visit again, but check-in host seemed pretty rude in their tone, totally killed our enthusiasm. (Which seems to be the theme of recent reviews)
The food quality has also gone down from our previous visit.

Ordered Dal tadka and Indian Salad. Salad was freshly cut and it has cucumber, tomatoes and onions.

Fyi: I saw paneer tikka as an appetiser in review photos but they only have chicken tikka.

This place is a complete scam and should be shut down immediately. The food was disgusting—raw Tandoori chicken and butter chicken in tomato puree. When we complained, the staff had the nerve to say that’s “how they make it,” as if we’re clueless. They even accused us of trying to manipulate the bill. Seriously? We’ve eaten Indian food everywhere, and this was the most tasteless garbage ever. Instead of fixing their mess, they fake reviews and insult paying customers. Who’s trying to scam $20 on a $100 bill? Pathetic. Read the other one-star reviews and run far away from this dump! Stop posting fake positive reviews every time you get a negative review.
