Best Indian Food I've had in San Diego! We started with the samosa. They were flavorful and large size. Best Tikka Masala! We also ordered the vindaloo. Omg they were both delicious! We ate it with garlic naan. The service is great. Ambiance is relaxed, quiet. I try to eat here anytime I'm in San Diego. It's a must!

As someone who is an Indian food connoisseur, I must say that this is some of the best Indian food in all of San Diego! The stews here are unsurpassed, and the accoutrements are unique in their preparation and taste. The Samosa appetizer with garbanzo beans and Indian yogurt was a great start to an excellent meal. This appetizer can be eaten as a meal due to the abundance of spices and portion size of the dish. The Lamb Curry was absolutely heavenly! This dish was loaded with flavors, and the overall preparation was superior to your traditional curry dishes. The Chicken Vindaloo was equally tasty with stewed tomatoes, onions, and large portions of season potatoes. This was a better version of this dish compared to others that I have had from other restaurants in the past. Even the Raita and Keema Naan were unique versions that took this meal to the next level... The Raita had shredded carrots and fresh herbs, while the Keema Naan was full of ground lamb spiced to perfection! I say bravo, Tandoori Hut... You are now my go to for Indian food from now on!

After returning from a trip to London, we were absolutely craving Indian food. In particular though, looking for black daal (or dal makhani). There are very few restaurants in San Diego that serve it but Tandoori Hut is one of them. While the food wasn't quite comparable to the food in London, though we weren't expecting it to be, it still satisfied the craving that we were having. Would typically give 4 stars, but an extra for having the dal makhani. We ordered the butter chicken, dal makhani, alo gobi, plain naan and raita. Butter Chicken- We decided to go medium on this dish and the spice difference was noticeable. Tolerable but definitely not for someone looking for a typical medium. Chicken was cooked tender. Alo Gobi- This is made dry, so it does not have a curry consistency. It was very tasty and I enjoyed it as a vegetarian option! Dal Makhani- Unlike the black daal we'd enjoyed at Dishoom, it had a much more textured consistency. There was a mix of black lentils with what looked like a few kidney or pinto type beans. Great flavor though. Raita- Much needed to keep things cooled down! Pair with some naan. The online ordering platform was easy to use and we'll definitely order again.

Are you kidding me! I love this place. This was so so good. We came for lunch and there was no one else and ordered the following: 1. Pakoras 2. Chicken Tikka (spicy) 3. Paneer (spicy) 4. Garlic Naan Of course I had a great time!! I would want the chicken tikka to be spicier but the the paneer was definitely really spicy and good. I also loved the chutney and the pakoras. Honestly it was just a good time and the food was good. I can see why it was rated so highly!

Best Tikka Masala we've ever had. Creamy, tangy, tomatoey sauce with so much flavor layered in that my eyes watered when I tasted it. I have grown really distrusting of how much this dish varies place to place. Everyone has their preferences with Indian food, and Tandoori hut nails mine 100%. I joked to my partner that I would eat that Masala gravy if she spit in it. It was basically liquid gold, and I used my naan like a vehicle created to deliver sweet, spicy, tomato gold into my face. The naan was good. Unlike chicken tikka, naan bread tends to be pretty universally good anywhere you go. My partner didn't love the rice, but I thought it was more than okay. She said it was kind of gummy and hard, but I didn't feel the same. It was just standard rice and served its purpose as a nice palate cleanser between bites of delicious tikka masala. The chicken also wasn't dry or overcooked. We didn't order anything else, so unfortunately I can't praise anything else from the restaurant. What I can praise is the $15 price tag in a popular neighborhood, when in Vegas we pay $18 for the same dish in the middle of nowhere. Tandoori Hut was worth every penny.

Located in Hillcrest so parking can be challenging but the food is good. I ordered a medium spice paneer Tikka masala and it's spicier than normal but I liked it. Portions are slightly larger compared to other Indian sit down restaurants. The garlic naan was good but it's $5. Seems high but maybe it's due to inflation.
