Reviews for kc's tandoor - Indian Restaurant & Catering Services in Encinitas, CA

Hadn't been here in a while- walked in and noticed the place was pretty empty and everything looked different. I placed my order... and found out that the owners had changed. While waiting for my food, I saw all the recent bad reviews online. I went to use therestroom. When I opened the door, I got hit with a foul smell and as soon as I turned on the lights, saw cockroaches scatter tohide. That made me loose my lunch- If the bathroom was that filthy with roaches, who knows what the kitchen and food prep waslike behind the scenes- I wasn?t about to eat roach vindaloo. I walked out to the McDonald's across the lot without evenbothering to ask for a refund. Never coming back- what a shame this was my favorite Indian restaurant for years. Read more

Nearly $5 for a $1.49 beverage you get at the grocery store. Imagine the profit this place makes off you. the clerk then gave... me the wrong change and I had to do the math for him while the people in the back peaked to see what was happening. That?s badmannerism to do that and have the customer do the math for them. I mean call it a Karen move but this is beyond Karen ifsomeone can?t even count US DOLLARS. Read more

I am so mad at myself for not taking a cooking class offered by the last owner ???? She made the *best* tikki masala we've had.... It's not that the new management's version is bad, but the original KC's never left an oily residue like the new one does-- itwas creamy, the sauce was thicker, the flavor/spice was made to perfection. The new KC's is ok, but not anything special. Iguess it depends based on previous reviews and the tikki masalas you've had in the past. The old KC's recipe was extraordinary..also, the dal tastes nothing like it used to, and was way too salty. I'm sad and disappointed :( Read more

I was really craving southern Indian food, was excited to see so many vegetarian options. Ordered Mushroom Masala, Aloo Gobi,... Dosa Masala. The dosa was fantastic, filling was flavorful. Masterfully made. But sadly I can't say the same for the rest. The Mushroom masala's gravy was super watery and light red color, which meant the tomato gravy didn't get enough time tothicken. The spices were bland. When I asked for my Aloo Gobi, which the menu says (dry) next to it, I was given the exactsame gravy as the Mushroom masala just with potatoes and cauliflower instead. I asked the women at the register about it andshe told me I was wrong. I get it, staffing is hard right now. But there just seems to be a training issue, specially sincethe kitchen and front clerk both gave me the wrong item. Read more

Have been coming here since I was a kid, always the most delicious food and service. Came to get dinner only to realize they had... changed management recently. Decided to give it a try even though the prices had almost doubled and meals no longer came withsides, they used to come with Dahl rice and yogurt. The worst palak paneer I?ve ever had, 40 dollars for an awful meal. Nevercoming back. Read more

I hate writing reviews about restaurants, cause I'm lazy, unless something REALLY stands out and I care about the restaurant... enough. This was my favorite Indian place as a teen and into adulthood. Came back here from College to be HIGHLY disappointedwith the quality of food I got from them tonight. Now hearing about management changes and I want to make this VERY CLEAR to thecurrent owners and managers. SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE OR YOU ARE LOSING A LOT OF CUSTOMERS! Please put the resources intoimproving your food before you lose more customers! Put some time and money into it please! I hope you guys rebound but thisreview is gonna stay till I try again in 4 months. (Next break) Read more

My friends and I have been coming here for years. We were disappointed when we realized it was under new ownership and the menu... had changed. We could no longer order combo meals which meant the prices went up if we wanted the same variety. However, wequickly discovered that the food was even more delicious than under the last owner. The staff is very attentive and kind aswell. The dosas are AMAZING! Read more

Menu changed, totally bummed. Might be the last time we come back. It's nothing like it was previously, so much so that they... should change the name. My previous review was 5 stars and we've been going here for over 15 years. Guess all times must come toan end. Good news is we can find our new favorite Indian food restaurant. Read more
