Description

You've been to Indian buffets, but have you been to Tandoor? The trays are crammed with a variety as staggering as the population of Mumbai. Behold silken gravies of different shades and spicing intensities, from a harmless tikka masala to a blazing vindaloo. The waiters in this airy, L-shaped room fulfill their near-pathological need to continually replenish every table's basket of freshly baked naan, even if you haven't finished your first batch. And after it all, there's dessert. Gulab jamun and three other sweets dare you to fill the remaining stomach room you saved for just the occasion.
