Tandoor, the Indian Diner

I can't help but love this: an Indian restaurant in an art deco diner. Last night we had dinner at Tandoor, on Chapel Street in New Haven.

The food last night was excellent. We had vegetable samosas, chicken biryani, and chicken vindaloo. For bread, we had garlic naan and poori. Marty had a Kingfisher beer to drink. It was a great meal! (And there are leftovers!)

The atmosphere is just as good. It's set up inside with tables instead of booths, but it's definitely a diner. The counter is still intact with stools running all the way down the place. It's a gorgeous specimen of early 20th century pre-fab restaurant architecture. And probably the cleanest diner I've ever eaten in.
