    With so many choices in a big city like Peterborough I relied on many review sites before choosing Imperial Tandoor. We've done "Indian Food" many times but this was definitely a step above. Lots of different kinds & especially as we wanted to try as many as possible, we went with a sharing appetizer "Tandoori Momos" and for our main " Imperial's signature platter" We also chose the "Onion Kutcha" a delicious & fresh Naan. Two different sauces made for dipping. Lots of food with enough for lunch for 1 next day. Hubby & I would definitely recommend a visit to this wonderful restaurant for a unique experience. BTW our server was very friendly and helpful.

    As always the service and food were great. However, I wanted to try something that I had not had before so I ordered a goat dish. I was very tasty and just spicey enough. The only drawback was I thought the meal would have chunks of goat but it is made up of goat ribs. I had to fish out the bones and set them aside.
