Tandoori Bites Indian Cuisine - Eureka, California

Jeevan S.

I had one of the worst dining experiences at this restaurant. The food was absolutely disappointing—bland, poorly cooked, and nowhere near authentic. For the price they charge, I expected at least decent quality, but what I got was completely unacceptable.

I’ve attached a picture of the food they served me during dine-in, and it speaks for itself. The presentation was sloppy, the portion was ridiculous, and the taste was even worse. On top of that, the service was slow and indifferent, making the whole experience even more frustrating.

I strongly do not recommend this place. Save your time and money—there are plenty of better Indian restaurants out there. Avoid this place unless you want to waste your money on subpar food!

1-Star Review: Disappointing Experience All Around

Indian food is where hospitality meets rich flavor — sadly, Tandoori Bites Kitchen delivers on neither.

From the moment we walked in, the staff seemed more interested in making a quick buck than offering any real service. Disinterested, inattentive, and clearly untrained in basic hospitality.

The food? A complete letdown. Missing not just in taste, but also in quality and quantity. It felt rushed, flavorless, and uninspired — a far cry from what you’d expect at an authentic Indian eatery.

And the service? When I asked for a missing spice blend, the server brought out plain chili powder as a “solution” — something I’ve never seen done at any Indian restaurant, ever. It felt like a lazy patch-up rather than an attempt to fix a problem properly.

Check out my photos to see what I mean.

Highly NOT recommended. Save your appetite — and your money — for a place that actually cares.

Who knew actual Indian cooks could make such bad Indian food? The worst I had.

The meat portions were so tiny. The meat itself is almost non-existent.

The taste? Bland.
The texture? Watery

And why does the food come in foam container if i’m dining in? Zero thought both the environment and the presentation.

Was pretty good, my daughter and I both got the Lamb Korma, she got mild and I got Spicy.

I have a mediocre tolerance to spice and after the first bite it mellowed out and was fine, if you like heat you may need to ask for some extra heat. My daughter liked hers as well, the Lamb was cooked really well and the rice was good. The Mango Lassi was yummy and the garlic Naan was decent, I think my only complaint was the weird cup that the rice was served in.

Service was timely no complaints there, and we really liked the ambiance and decor. Yes it's a little dark but we found it relaxing and soothing, after eating we were ready for bed.

All in it was worthwhile and worth the cost, would eat again if I was in town.

Food was awesome. Especially chicken korma. Have good gravy with nuts. Fresh naans and rotis. Good and rich flavors and definitely one is hungry, it is great. The only thing to notice is that the quantity is quite less compared to market standards but otherwise all great.

You’d have to be high not to eat here while staying in Eureka - hence this place isn’t already 10/10 stars. As someone that isn’t high I can verify it is 10/10 service and the butter chicken and naan bread are delicious. Just come eat here. So good. Prices are great too. We ate at all the places over 5 days and this one is our favorite. The 12 year old gave it thumbs up as well.

Worst Indian food experience ever!
They clearly don’t understand the difference between medium spicy and hot. I asked for medium spice and was served a dish overloaded with red chili powder.
The Malai Kofta was the worst I’ve had in the USA.
Please level up your food with authentic Indian traditions and flavors.

Got the Chicken mughlai soup, and Garlic Nan. So good, smells delicious and taste so good! The soup doesn’t have any strong ginger taste, you mostly get the tandoori chicken. And the garlic Nan comes with two big pieces! Very yummy on its own, subtle garlic, and great for dipping in soup!
