Provo Tandoori Grill review

DailyHerald — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 10:38:08 -0500

Now that an Indian restaurant has taken over the old Winger's diner on University Avenue in Provo, you can get a taste of the East with a touch of Americana.
Over the entrance to Tandoori Grill is some hip yellow lettering that reads "Diner," and the exterior boasts the polished chrome look popular in the '50s. But inside you'll find a heavy curry smell hanging in the air and a bank of televisions playing Indian music videos.

What the restaurant lacks in Indian atmosphere it makes up for with Indian food. The menu is extensive, including several selections prepared in a tandoori oven.
