Why go
Tandoor is worth considering when you need an easy sit-down meal in Anzures rather than a destination reservation. It is better for a practical repeat visit than a special-occasion splurge, and dining in is the safer call than making takeout the main reason to choose it.
About Tandoor
Tandoor is a Mexico City dining option best handled with practical expectations. It keeps daily hours, with service from 1–10 PM Monday through Saturday and 1–7 PM on Sunday, and the dress code is casual. That makes it easier to place in an itinerary by timing, rather than by claims about menu, format, awards, or special services.
Use it for a casual, timing-led meal
Tandoor works well as a direct choice when the schedule matters. There is no award signal, chef-led format, menu structure, price point, or service detail, so the honest case for choosing it is simple: consider it when its Mexico City location, casual dress code, and published hours fit the day.
Do not choose Tandoor on assumptions about takeout or delivery. Treat it as a venue to confirm directly if you need anything beyond a standard visit, including menu details, dietary accommodation, group setup, or reservation requirements.
Book around timing, then compare by mood
The clearest planning information is the schedule: Monday through Saturday, Tandoor is listed from 1–10 PM; Sunday is shorter, from 1–7 PM. Use those hours to decide whether it fits your route, and confirm directly before you go if timing is important. For a broader scan of the city, use our full Mexico City restaurants guide, then layer in other options based on mood rather than assumptions about prestige.
If this does not fit the night, compare it with other Mexico City dining options such as Carajillo Masaryk, Centro Castellano, El Rey del Suadero, Los Panchos Restaurant, or Sal e Brasa, depending on the kind of meal you want. The point is not to rank these as destinations, but to match the restaurant to the evening. For trip planning beyond dinner, pair the restaurant search with our full Mexico City hotels guide and our full Mexico City bars guide.
Quick reference: choose Tandoor for a casual Mexico City meal when its published hours and dress code fit your plans; choose another option if you need a more specific format, menu, or occasion setting that you can confirm in advance.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Tandoor settles into a quiet, tree-lined strip of Colonia Anzures and reads like a specialist neighborhood kitchen rather than a city-center destination. The restaurant’s editorial identity is rooted in the tandoor oven: a technical, high-heat system that demands discipline and timing from the kitchen team. That focus gives the place a low-key, workmanlike charm—it’s about technique and reliable execution more than flash. Because the dining room serves local regulars instead of tourists, the overall mood feels understated and unhurried, the sort of place that rewards repeat visits for consistent, well-made Indian fare.
Best For
This is a neighbourhood spot that suits casual meals with family or friends and visits from locals who appreciate a specialist kitchen. It’s not positioned as a tourist destination; instead it caters to people who want focused, tandoor-driven cooking prepared with technical care. The kitchen’s reliance on precise timing and charcoal heat makes it especially satisfying for diners who enjoy charred breads and grilled proteins. Expect the kind of straightforward, dependable service and atmosphere that works well for relaxed weeknight dinners or weekend family outings.
Ordering Tips
Focus your order on what the tandoor does best: grilled proteins and breads. From the kitchen’s signature list, order items like butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo and garlic naan to sample the oven’s range alongside vegetarian staples such as saag paneer and aloo samosas. Because the tandoor’s high heat yields quick, intensely charred results, balance a mix of proteins and breads so everyone can share. Stick to the house specialties to judge the team’s command of timing and the oven’s effects.

Restaurant context
How Tandoor compares in Mexico City
Tandoor is the lower-friction choice in this set: pick it when Anzures location and an easier table matter more than a big-room experience. Carajillo Masaryk is the better cross-shop for a more polished night in the Masaryk orbit, while Centro Castellano makes more sense if the group wants a more traditional, sit-down meal with a clearer old-school feel.
For value and speed, El Rey del Suadero is the sharper alternative when the meal is casual and the room matters less. Los Panchos Restaurant is a better fit for a classic Mexico City meal with broader group appeal, while Sal e Brasa should be the pick when the brief is quantity, group energy, and a fuller dining-room format.
The practical read: choose Tandoor for ease, Carajillo Masaryk for a more dressed-up plan, El Rey del Suadero for quick value, Los Panchos Restaurant for a dependable group meal, and Sal e Brasa when the group wants a bigger, more expansive dinner format.
