Tandoor Palace
“Great go-to place for Indian food in the financial district, especially the rotating daily specials.”
“Lamb curry, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, basmati rice, poori, biryani – all excellent.”
“If you're looking for more decently-priced, fast lunch options in the FiDi, Tandoor Palace is a great choice.”

I believe this restaurant is more of a take out place. You can eat in, but the ambiance just isn't very nice.
I've only gotten the paneer tikka masala here, so I can only comment on that. It was waaay too sweet tasting so I'd recommend getting something else here. They did give a good amount of paneer, though. The rice was typical, good portion, and the naan (extra $2) was just OK.
The lunch special is a good deal at $7.95, but I cannot say it deserves the crown as the "best cheap eat in NYC," which some website gave it. The food was good but not exceptional. I enjoyed what I ate but did not love it. I may be back; certainly it's good to have a lunch spot in the area that is cheap and fast. This is serviceable and does the job.
Look up, look at the sign, walk up the stairs, and follow your nose. Had the executive box (nan + rice) and a meat dish + veg dish. 9.47 and paid with venmo… Food was tastey, and with no other option in the area, this probably can make 3.5-4 stars. Lamb curry was spicy, and flavorful but portions were smallish. I'd come back again for the ride but wouldn't go out of my way.
Pleasantly surprised by the food here. Indian food in the fidi isn't the best. Samosas were good as was Malai kofta. Portions are very large. Mango lassi also delish.
A descent, small and pocket friendly Indian Restaurant In Downtown. The place offers either a platter for 9.75$ including two entrees, rice and Naan or you can order curries from the entree list (10$-11$) and choose between rice or Naan with it. I had Malai Kofta and Makhani Daal with Naan which I felt was overpowered by too much Garlic in it. The onion Kulcha was well n crisp. More than their curries, I think their breads were a knockout!
Mmmm, good and not so good but not bad.
The place is on a narrow street on Fulton St. and not easy to see as it is on the second level one has to walk up some steps, slightly hidden and among all the other small businesses like a nail parlour. The place is not so big, a few tables.
An order of the Tandoori Chicken came with a bit of lettuce salad some green dip. I liked and thought the chicken was only a slightly tad above average. Light in flavor, had a good orange/red color to it and the char on part of the chicken didn't look burned (char not burned – intentional flaming of meat) :] I thought it tasted good when a nice soft dense chewiness to the chicken. Good tasting chicken with a hint of flavor.
Priced at $7.50 for the executive lunch boxes, this is the cheapest Indian restaurant in Downtown. The food quality is good too. I've tried their Chicken Dishes and like all of them. The portion sizes are good, and for me, the raita works as a perfect ending for a quick afternoon bite.
Ambiance is OK, not the best, but when with friends, sure; why not! In comparison to Bombay Masala which is near Stone street, this place wins on pricing and taste. Bombay Masala gets a very distinct taste of (or something that tastes a lot like) MSG.
Tikka masala (mild) is the thing to get here. The chicken was cooked well in all the dishes, especially the chicken vindaloo and the rice went perfectly with it. The naan was huge and delicious. The saag paneer also had a perfect amount of cheese in it. The delivery was right on time which made me happy (via Seamless). I am a big fan of samosas and personally was the only thing I did not like here – almost as if the oil they used to fry it in was not changed for a long time.
