The take
The Take
The Vibe
Tandoor The Indian Grill House sits where Caribbean beach energy meets focused, clay-oven cooking. The restaurant runs two tempos: daytime is breezy and casual, with covered terraces that capture the Palm Beach strip’s seaside feel; evenings feel more deliberate and destination-minded, with longer tables and a more measured pace. The cuisine’s spices and grill-driven techniques set it apart on Noord’s row, giving the place a distinctive personality—relaxed by day, quietly intense by night. That duality makes Tandoor feel both accessible for a midday stop and intentionally composed for a thoughtful dinner.
Best For
Tandoor is best understood through its lunch/dinner split. Midday visits suit hotel guests and beachgoers seeking lighter, quicker plates—bread-forward orders and shareable items work well on the covered terraces. Dinner shifts toward destination dining: guests linger at longer tables and approach ordering more deliberately, making the restaurant a good pick for group meals or an evening out. The clay-oven focus and spiced mains make it particularly appealing to diners who want something different from the island’s seafood- and steakhouse-dominant scene.
Ordering Tips
Match your ordering to the tempo: at lunch, favor bread-forward and lighter plates—naans and quick-grill items that arrive promptly—so you can enjoy a breezy meal between beach sessions. For dinner, slow down and plan a few shared mains; the kitchen’s tandoor techniques benefit from communal tasting and pacing. Be mindful of the heat-and-spice profile typical of Indian grill cooking and order according to your tolerance. Above all, know whether you want a quick casual terrace experience or a more deliberate evening; the kitchen and service adapt to both.
