Tandoor Cuisine of India, located on South Reynolds Road in Toledo, is in a bit of an odd location, next to a furniture store and sharing a building with a wellness center. That doesn’t matter so much, though, once you enter. And when you start eating, furniture will be the last thing on your mind.
The space is fairly small, cozy, and decorative, and it seems to keep up a pretty steady stream of customers, especially on weekends — we saw one party waiting almost 45 minutes on our first trip. So calling ahead to make a reservation is definitely recommended.

Everything was lovely, especially the paneer pakoras, and the chutneys really prevented all that fried food from overwhelming the palate…
