From the outside, Tandoor-A India is a funky little corner shack sitting atop stilts on the corner of Pershing and Nicholson, with tacky neon signs and a fading yellow sign proudly displaying the name of the restaurant. Inside, the decor is worn, yet homey. It reminded me of the many places I frequented in Carytown, in Richmond, VA. The restaurant is blatantly run by a family, with the father taking customers' orders, the wife setting tables and the son delivering the food. I felt instantly at home with the Father's welcoming smile and personality.We asked him what to drink, and he suggested an Indian beer, Dansberg, which was really delicious. It was cold, refreshing and had a nice honey-like taste to it, which went perfectly with the spicy curries we ordered. We had the Tandoori chicken, Chicken Vindaloo, Lamb masala and chicken saag wala. Everything was perfectly seasoned, the rice was light and fluffy and the naan was hot and very obviously just made. I would definitely go back, and I don't even really like Indian food!
