FROM OUR OPEN TANDOOR MENU - Saber's Taste Of India
A Tandoor is a vat shaped clay oven. It opens at the top and meat is lowered into the oven on skewers while the naan breads are stuck to the inner side of its walls and baked. The enclosed heat slowly and simultaneously bakes, roasts and grills food, rendering the meats well done, yet juicy and soft. Meat, fish, and seafood are marinated in our special yogurt, spices and herbs sauce for 24 hours before going into the Tandoor.

Went a few years back and loved it, this visit was disappointed. The vibrant tastes were gone. We do not like super hot (like vindalo) but do like some heat and this lacked any heat. Seems like they have gone overboard to Canadianize the menu.
I went to this restaurant with great expectations, but was very disappointed. I ordered the Tanduri Garlic Chicken which was coming with Palau rice and salad with a side order of their plain yogurt. The chicken was dry and wasn't properly marinated because the meat tasted like cardboard and the Palau rice was just boiled basmati rice. As an Afghan I know what Palau rice is, and it was not even close to it. The Salad was two whole leafs of lettuce, three rings of white onion, a little chopped red and green cabbage with some cheap ranch dressing on top. The menu said that the yogurt is home made and I love homemade plain yogurt. It was sticky and thin like honey that it is not suppose to be. Over all it was very unsatisfactory. I would not recommend this place to any person especially those who are familiar with Middle Eastern cuisine.
I got take out from here one night. Got chicken curry, onion bhaji, eggplant, naan and rice. The food tasted so bland and so lacking in flavour I wanted to throw it all out. Such a disappointment. Can't believe this is suppose to be the best Indian food in Kingston. Someone told me that eating at the restaurant is better. Perhaps I will try the one downtown.
