Tandoor

Serving authentic Indo-Pakistani food since 1986, Tandoor is the original spot for this cuisine in Mexico City. The menu spans tender lamb vindaloo, dal that regulars swear by, and naan bread baked fresh to order — with plenty of vegetarian options alongside the meat and seafood dishes.

The space leans traditional, with decor and music that nod to the subcontinent without overdoing it. Expect generous portions and bold spice levels — ask your server to adjust heat if you need. The mango lassi and the five-dessert tasting plate are both solid moves.
