I had the pleasure of eating one of the finest goat masala and lamb biryani at the Imperial Tandoor. Our sever Emily was very caring and courteous. This place is not just about eating good food it is all about have a wonderful dining experience. The head chef Manish was kind enough to customize the heat to our liking which certainly showed how much they care about their guests. Kudos to Team Imperial Tandoor. We will certainly plan another dinner outing at this hidden gem.

The best Indian food around. No need to go to Toronto. They have a real tandoori oven and you can watch master naan makers in action through a glass window. Our waiter was awesome and quite knowledgeable. This place is a class act. Nothing but good things to say about The Imperial Tandoor.

This is definitely a hidden gem in Peterborough!! We called for a last minute reservation for valentines dinner, they were polite and accommodating. When we arrived the inside of the restaurant was decorated well, sets a great mood. The staff greeting at the door were friendly with immediate service. There was a special valentines menu, it did not disappoint. The food was presented well, in a timely manner and with a wonderful waitress. I am looking forward to going again.
