Tandoor Indian Restaurant - Ubud

Ridge‑top curry with a view
Tandoor Indian Restaurant sits along Jl. Subak Sok Wayah, on Ubud’s Sok Wayah jogging track, about a 10–15 minute walk from the main road. You can’t drive right to the door, so guests arrive on foot or by scooter, trading traffic noise for rice‑field silence and sunset skies.

Setting among paddies and pool
Several visitors describe a beautiful, green ambience with garden seating, views over the paddies and a quiet atmosphere away from central Ubud. Some mention a cozy indoor area and tables by a pool, which you can apparently use for 99k including a towel and fresh coconut. Others appreciate that it’s “off the main road” so conversations aren’t drowned out by traffic.

Access, parking and practicalities
The address is confirmed as Jl. Subak Sok Wayah, Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia, and the path is not accessible by car. Reviews and the market report highlight that this can be tricky in heavy rain or for anyone with limited mobility. One guest noted there is no dedicated parking, and another said they struggled to even find the place at first. Open hours are generally 11h00–22h30, seven days a week, and most contact happens via WhatsApp at +62 813-5322-2621.

Plates, portions and price points
On the plate, opinions range from “best Indian food in Ubud” to “very average compared to other Indian restaurants in Bali.” Many guests rave about butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, biryani, dal, samosa chaat and garlic or cheese naan, calling the flavors authentic, not too oily and balanced. Others complain of oily dishes, undercooked peas and onions, leathery naan or curries padded with too much sauce and too little meat. Portions are frequently described as generous, yet a delivery customer felt portion sizes were small for prices like 149k and 135k per curry and 39k per garlic naan; another sit‑down meal for two came to 300K. Compared with local warungs, prices land in the “tourist/expat” bracket but are seen as fair against other Indian spots nearby.

Service, warmth and a few red flags
Service is the standout theme. Across many reviews, staff and the owner are described as super friendly, attentive and genuinely curious if you enjoyed your meal. Specific servers such as Aren, Hari, Melana and Tini get personal shout‑outs for going out of their way to help lost guests or check on every table. That said, a minority of reviewers raise concerns: one mentions visibly dirty nails on waitstaff, another reports feeling unwell after lunch, and someone else found ants with their starter and a bitter masala chai.

Reputation and online presence
The separate market analysis pegs Tandoor at around 4.8/5 on Google and close to 5.0 on TripAdvisor, with a high volume of reviews and many calling it “the best Indian in Bali.” A handful of unhappy diners openly question whether all the five‑star ratings are deserved, especially after disappointing delivery orders. Digitally, the restaurant runs an active Instagram account (@tandoor.bali), reposts guest stories, showcases high‑definition food shots and leans into its rice‑field sunsets. Facebook is present but largely mirrors Instagram.

Who it suits
Tandoor Indian Restaurant will appeal most to travelers willing to walk a little for Indian curries with a rice‑field backdrop, who value friendly service and don’t mind tourist‑level pricing; those seeking easy car access, flawless consistency or strictly budget warung meals may prefer to look elsewhere.
