We are pretty new to the area. We are originally from East Africa so growing up on Curry is the norm for us so needless to say we are pretty picky ! We had heard that this restaurant was the best in Peterborough for an eat in experience so after trying take out at all the other Indian restaurants and being pretty dissatisfied we were excited to try . Well , the flavours , the temperature , the spice level , the presentation , the service , the friendliness of all staff exceeded our expectations . Thank you for presenting to us an authentic eating experience !! We will certainly Recommend you to everyone we know and the next visit back I will bring my elderly Mum who I know will also love You!!!

The Imperial Tandoor is worth the drive from the greater Toronto area to Peterborough. We've experienced many East Indian Restaurants. This establishment is the real deal. Shout out with a special thanks Lance. He made our experience amazing. We didn't even need a menu. We put our trust in Lance and out came the most amazing cuisine. Can't wait to come back. We give this restaurant the highest rating. Thank you.

Birthday dinner for our son with his girlfriend. The food was excellent. And our waitress was attentive, knowledgable and 'there' just the right amount. I would definitely come back.

This has turned out to be our favourite restaurant. The food is always well prepared and portions are generous. Spicing is just right and there is no skimping on the meat. Service is prompt and polite.

The emasculate food & staff made our experience superb! You can watch the chef prepare your food through a window to the kitchen, and what an amazing show it was to watch - just watching his patients and precision with the food he was preparing made me 10x hungrier but the food was worth the wait (which wasn’t even a wait, we had our food within 10 minutes of ordering). Everything we tasted surpassed our expectations! The server was elegant & joyful, and took lots of time to explain to us how the menu was laid out, as well as give us recommendations and answer our questions. The best food & service I’ve ever experienced in Peterborough! I would recommend it to everyone.

Visited for the first time on Valentine's Day for dinner for two. Waitress was very friendly, courteous, and professional. Menu options and suggestions were explained very well. Food was tasty, particularly the lamb roganjosh and the butter naan. Prices were ok and portions were adequate.

It was absolutely delicious food. My husband and I love Indian food so much and we tried many Indian restaurants but this was another level among all the others that we have been to so far. I absolutely recommend this place.

This is our favourite place to eat when visiting Peterborough. The food is exceptional and the service is fantastic. The dishes all have distinctive flavours that blend nicely and contribute to a great culinary experience. The portions are generous and reflect quality ingredients. This is by far the best Indian food we have had. We have eaten in many restaurants in different parts of Ontario and we continuously talk about the Imperial Tandoor. The servers are all knowledgeable and very attentive and personable.
