Reviews

The Pitch named New Cafe Tandoor Best Vegetarian Food in 2008, and named goat korma one of its 50 Favorite Dishes in Kansas City. Yelpers give the restaurant a 3.5-star average.

• The goat meat served at New Cafe Tandoor is tender enough to deliciously soak up a rich traditional sauce, like the curry-spiced korma, which is particularly good folded between a piece of naan and dappled with a spoonful of mint chutney. – Charles Feruzza, Pitch
