   It’s ok food in small quantity served at steep prices. Good cocktails at equally astronomical prices. Nice ambience and presentation.

   I had a very disappointing experience during my recent visit. The chicken kabob was extremely dry — to the point that I had to send it back. Despite this, I was still charged for it, which was unacceptable. Additionally, I ordered tandoori roti, but was served naan instead without anyone informing me that they were out of roti. There was no effort made to ask if I was okay with the substitution, which shows a lack of basic courtesy and communication. Overall, the service was careless and the food did not meet expectations. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and improves both the food quality and customer service.

   Worst food i ever had in Dallas. Its just frozen dishes they heat up and serve. None of the people who are working there have any sort of professionalism. I wonder they are even authorized to work as waiters

   We visited Tantra for the second time to celebrate my wife’s birthday, hoping for another great experience like our first visit — unfortunately, it was a letdown. The $18 cocktails were overly sweet and not well-balanced. The naan tasted like it had been microwaved from frozen, lacking the freshness you’d expect at this price point. The entrees were extremely rich, with an overwhelming amount of heavy cream that masked the true flavors of the dishes. To top it off, the suggested tip options started unusually high — around 30% — which felt excessive given the overall experience. For the premium pricing, the quality and service just didn’t match. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

   Tantara offers decent Indian food with authentic flavors, but the service really needs improvement. While the staff wasn’t rude, we had to wait far too long just to get their attention—whether for ordering, refills, or the check. The food itself was enjoyable, but the slow and inattentive service took away from the experience. With better efficiency and attentiveness, this place could be great.

   Food was average at best. Service was unacceptable for an establishment that attempts to position itself as an upscale restaurant.

   First time here. Restaurant had a dingy feel: crooked art on the wall, menu with dried food on it, missing silverware at table. The service was slow for me and the place only had 2-3 other small tables of diners. The staff should learn to do mixology for making a mixed drink. Ordered a Jack Daniel’s and Diet Pepsi. Granted the presentation of the Jack Daniel’s was nice in a low ball with a big piece of ice, they delivered the diet pepsi in a Moscow mule glass separate. The presentation of the food ordered was above par, great artistic/visual appeal. The quantity for price of the food was very reasonable as we have plenty of left overs. As this type of cuisine is for a unique palate, the kabob combo was a great concept for getting to try 4 different types, However, the server I had to ask to explain each one. Hard to explain all 4 individually, but one was too salty, the green one was not a flavor we cared for. The brown one was the best of the 4. They honored our open table rewards to apply $20 dollars off. I enjoyed the presentation of the food, the staff was nice, just slower service. The price for the cocktail was overpriced at $17.00 for a singular shot of Jack Daniel’s and a glass of Diet Pepsi and had to be mixed ourselves. another bonus is the restaurant was not cold, environment wise. Most restaurants are too cold for enjoy dinner.

   Delicious! Our first time experience and we had a tough table to please. Chef did not disappoint and staff bent over backwards to appease the difficult members of our party. The presentation was absolutely stunning.

   Food was subpar for the prices. Ordered the Kebab platter, and all the chicken pieces were dry. Another dish that we ordered was panner tikka, that was average. Desert was excellent
