And that’s just the sauce! The marinating and cooking of the shrimp, fish, lamb, or chicken is yet another story. As is the rice. I find my conclusions. Reasons why the Indian food you cook is nowhere near this good: you don’t have fenugreek; you don’t have the paddle; you don’t have three Indian restaurants under your belt, or a childhood in Punjab province. And you don’t have all day to cook dinner. Luckily, Tandoor is at your service seven days a week.

Solid tastes at Olive Café
- Review: Señor Flaco’s
It's good to see a restaurant with a sense of humor. As well as serving good Tex-Mex chow, Señor Flaco's offers up a good dose of levity.
