“ My siblings and I came here for Sunday lunch to satisfy an Indian food craving and hands down, it was satisfied. You can check my photos to see the menu and everything available that day at their $22 lunch buffet. After looking through the menu, I felt that the lunch buffet was the more worth-it option despite it being $22 a person (an initially very shocking price for me and my siblings). For $22, I got a single serving of naan, unlimited drinks like the Shirley Temple, three rice options, 2 deep fried options, 4 dessert options, 2 fruit options, a salad bar, 2 soup options and a bunch of different curries and entrees. The value of the lunch buffet came in the variety of foods that I had access to. I didn't have to settle for just one flavor. The last Indian place my family went to, we were charged about $20 for each dish and the bowls were small and we left being barely filled. But I left Village Tandoor a few pounds heavier and a lot happier. Everything tasted authentic. Sometimes, it can be difficult to make a bunch of curries taste different but they've nailed that with their varying aroma and spice profiles. Downsides to the buffet are that once something runs out, they don't seem to refill it. That was the case with the samosas and chile packhora. The samosa was very flavorful despite its small size. I'm sad they didn't refill it after it ran out. I only got to try one. I also wish they had more vegan options. The Daal makhni and lentil soup seemed to be the only 2 protein options for vegans and they weren't very flavorful. However, I appreciate how vegans and vegetarians could get a well balanced meal out of the buffet, although not as much variety. The staff waited on us like butlers whose livelihood depended on it. When we needed something, they were there. When our plates were finished, they immediately cleaned them up. Before they started closing up the buffet, they asked if I wanted to get one final plate. Very friendly, fast and polite. However, one server told us that additional naan was included in the buffet but we were charged $2 for that additional serving of butter naan. Maybe it was because it wasn't the plain naan that we got charged but I wish they'd made that clearer because our server made it very clear that garlic naan would be additional charge but didn't say the same for the butter naan. They have a special champagne brunch buffet on Sundays where you can get what I believe is unlimited champagne with your meal. I didn't have any but the table near us was definitely filling up on it. The staff noticed they were having a little too much to drink and tried to convince them to stop, citing drunk driving as their main concern but the customers refused and the staff continued to serve them. I saw it as very thoughtful of the staff to be considerate of the public's wellbeing. The establishment seems entirely Indian owned and run. The decor appears very culturally accurate, reminding me of the paintings that my family has from our own culture. Plenty of seating. Lots of stuff to look at and be entertained by. ”

“ Solid North Indian Indian food. All the typical classics cooked well. Prices are fair, portions are large, and take out is ready quickly. In particular their Baingan Bharta is really delicious. ”

“ For at least 15 years, this is my go to for Indian Food Always wonderful service whether you eat in most of the time we take out Food is always fresh and hot. You can't ask for anything more than that. ”

“ The garlic naan is amazing. Super garlicky. Highly recommend. I like the variety of dishes they have. Their food is a bit spicy but I love spicy ”

“ Not very busy for dinner time. Clean place. Fun decor upon entering. Bathroom was clean and nicely decorated. Staff was strange towards us. Not very welcoming. They tried to take away my wine before I finished. They didn't offer us anything else. We got there a little after opening time for dinner. The beer and wine selection was good. The prices were different on the menu than on our bill which wasn't good. They have dedicated vegetarian and vegan options on the menu which is wonderful but I still recommend you double triple check with staff that there is no animal products or dairy when you order. They seem to be confused and had to recheck with cooks a couple times. The food was delicious especially the vegan tofu tikka masala. Would love to go back when we are in the area and hope the waitstaff is more welcoming. ”

“ I've been going to Village Tandoor for over 5 years and it has never disappointed with its consistently fast service and delicious food! They offer a widespread buffet during lunchtime, but you can always order from their regular menu. The Chef's Choice Dinner can feed 2-3 people depending on how hungry you are and it's extremely affordable for such a great portion! (~ $20) It comes with your choice of curry, tandoori chicken, several sides, naan and a side of soup. My go-to curries are the chicken korma and the makhani. The makhani is perfect if you enjoy a sweeter curry. Spice levels are customizable! ”

“ Indian cuisine is diverse and flavorful, with many popular dishes that are distinctly spiced-laden and a cacophony of savory delights that attracts you to any of their restaurants. Village Tandoori offers a variety of dishes on their buffet lineup, aside from its friendly pricing, and more Indianesque environs (lots of ethnic decors that tells you about what India is all about), the hosts are very friendly, respectful and nice. From Monday to Sunday, they offer a hosts of tandoori dishes from chicken to goat, vegetable kurma, chicken saag (with spinach), goat and veggie biryani and desserts a la mode. Biryani is a rice dish with layers of rice, meat, paneer, or vegetables, and spices. It's often slow-cooked and finished with caramelized onions and saffron. Different regions have their own versions, and Hyderabad biryani is a popular variation that uses goat meat. However, the best dish I often enjoy is their lamb or goat biryani (alternatively), a creamy chops of ribs in small chunks that are bathe in saucy and creamy spices, enriched by the delicates mixtures of aroma coming from these combinations. Yesterday, from a distance, I saw this young lady with her eyes closed, as she chewed on this dish, moaning like as if she's floating on air LOL. I too love this dish so much that it is one of the most compelling reason that compels me with go to an Indian restaurant and immerse myself in a "trance-like" experience just to enjoy their food. Don;t get me wrong, other dishes are as fulfilling and savory but to me, this goat/lamb (they taste the same), often reminds me that, in life, it's not always that difficult to live. So, if you're in the SoCal area of the San Fernando Valley, drop by Village Tandoor and relish the Indian dishes that will make you understand Indian food and their culture. ”

“ Came here with a big group for their small weekend buffet. (We called them beforehand to make sure they could accommodate us). I like to try a little bit of everything and everything I tried was delicious. The butter chicken, biryani, lamb, etc. The butter chicken was a little dry that day, but the sauce was good. Their naan was ok. It was crispier than I like it, but still good. They are vegetarian/vegan friendly and there is the option to order from their menu as well. ”
