Welcome To Tandoori Corner
Tandoori Corner was established in 2008 by Surendar Singh, a hotel management graduate who trained at Hyatt International's La Piazza in New Delhi before bringing his passion for authentic North Indian cuisine to Singapore's vibrant Balestier Road.
What started as a cosy alfresco corner spot has grown into one of Singapore's most celebrated Indian restaurants, earning a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence and recognition as 'Best Food Delivery' by Restaurant Guru in 2020.
Tandoori Corner is more than a restaurant — it is a community gathering place where flavours, stories and cultures come together. Our latest TCB expansion introduces a stylish indoor bar and dining room, inviting you to celebrate every occasion with us.
