Star Tandoori - Ballinasloe

After taking a moment to peruse the extensive menu on a busy Friday evening, I decided to treat myself. I ordered Garlic Mushrooms, Special Chicken Fried Rice, Beef Tikka Masala (medium spicy), and some Popadums. I paid for my order and picked it up 15 minutes later. Since dining out now means eating outdoors or in your car, I selected the latter. I started with the Popadums, which came with a small side of finely chopped onions. They were light, crispy, and not greasy like many other Indian takeaways. The Garlic Mushrooms were coated in golden-brown breadcrumbs and served with a delicious garlic sauce. They were not as oily as I expected and were clearly made with care. The presentation alone made me feel like I was dining in a five-star restaurant. Perhaps they should consider changing their name to 5 Star Tandoori. The Beef Tikka Masala was delightfully spicy and really hit the spot. Overall, all the food was beautiful and delicious. I may have been extra hungry when I ordered, but the meal was truly satisfying. Sometimes the best food comes from unassuming places, so if you're unsure, give this place a try. I'm sure you'll agree with me that the food is fantastic. Kudos to the staff at Star Tandoori for an amazing meal on that Friday. It was absolutely delicious.

The curry at this restaurant is absolutely amazing. While the exterior may not be very appealing, we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious curries we tried. We were greeted with complimentary popadoms as we perused the menu and decided on the lamb masala and chicken dhansak with mushroom rice and stuffed paratha. While we waited for our food, the staff also brought us some vegetable pakora on the house, which was excellent. The service was also top-notch.

I ordered takeout tonight and was not disappointed. We had appetizers of prawn poori and Chicken Chat, and Chilli Masala for the main course (one lamb, one chicken). All of the dishes were delicious, fresh, and packed with flavor.

Delicious food, serving time was like minutes got six main courses (which is not bad). Sitting arrangements are reasonable. There is an opportunity to improve lighting and overall ambiance.

Myself and my husband absolutely loved the food in Star Tandoori. Excellent staff, very attentive and friendly. Good portions and very fresh ingredients. I would recommend this restaurant to all.
