I spoke with the waitstaff, and apparently, they have two other restaurants with the same name in Sunnyside and Houston. I was like, good to know because I've been to the one in Sunnyside. Once you walk inside, you'll see a sign that says CASH ONLY! So be sure to have cash on hand. I think they redid the space inside and the outside. There's no need to make reservations. The menu isn't too extensive, and just know that almost everything will be fried. I had to ask what wasn't fried, and the manager said the dumplings could be steamed. My friend and I got the dumplings to start off. The tofu with mixed vegetables, two bowls of rice, spicy shrimp salt & pepper which they made mild, and Thai iced teas. They adjust the spices according to how you like it. Overall, I wish there were some non fried foods, but everything else was good.

Sooo I've been to the Tangra in Sunnyside and had no idea there was one in Elmhurst. My friend and I shared a plate of steamed chicken momos that came with a spicy green condiment. I appreciate appetizers that come in shareable amounts. We also shared an entree of tofu and vegetables and another entree of the spicy salt and pepper shrimp. They came with bowls of steamed rice. The entrees were pleasant and delightful. We each ordered drinks the Thai iced tea. It was nutty and yummy but not what I usually get as Thai iced tea lol. The restaurant is not very big so it looks like many order take out or delivery. Btw it's cash only! No cards.

First time having Chinese Indian food and I was pleasantly surprised. Food was tasted so flavorful and well seasoned. It's definitely a change up if you want something different. The staff were so friendly, we weren't sure what to order and they offered plenty of ideas for us. One thing to note, the food can get quite spicy if you can't handle spice. But it is good it's worth the burn. Space is small so if you want to eat inside, I would suggest coming a bit earlier to get a seat. I would definitely recommend!

Great halal food, lollipop chicken, mango lassi, Indonesian style rice vermicelli. The lamb was good but not my 100% favorite. I would try it once then try other stuff. I recommend this place if you want some spicy delicious curry.

This place has recently had its 1 year anniversary. I am pleased to say that the food, service, and hospitality continue to exceed my expectations! Delicious foods! My favorite appetizer is Tangra masala fish fingers. We also really like the momos- both steamed and sizzling. Our grand abt likes the steamed veggie and the steamed chicken momos. We like the choices of manchurian(not spicy), hakka, and Tangra masala. There is something for everyone.

Pictured: Manchurian chow mein $12.50 and Chicken Tangra Masala $15.95 This Asian fusion restaurant had so many delicious options to choose from. We went with the manchurian chow mein and the chicken tangra masala. The chicken was very crispy and tender. Both dishes were packed with flavor and had a unique taste. If you love Chinese food with a desi twist this spot is definitely worth checking out. 8/10 Follow our insta: @nyc.halal for more halal food reviews!!

I tried it this after 14 years. Chicken pakora, chicken lollipops and Manchurian chicken was good and delicious. Thank God no more waiting period. I really miss chilled lychee's with ice cream it it was different. That was disappointing.

Hidden gem! My family and I decided to come here for dinner last minute and so glad we did! This is a fusion restaurant with an EXTENSIVE menu! I mean massive.. We got the gobi Manchurian, Paneer pakora, tangra masala fried rice, basil paneer entree, manchurian chow mein and rasmalai. The gobi was FIREEE! Highly recommend! Paneer pakora was okay, would skip. The vegetable entrees were great and well seasoned. I would recommend getting the fried rice and chow mein, it was spicy and well flavored!! Everything came out quickly and service was good. this is a great family spot for family style cuisine. Will be back!
