Indian Tanpura Menu and Prices

4.7 (421 reviews)108 menu items · 17 categoriesUpdated July 17, 2026

Indian Tanpura, you can hear from its name, is a restaurant specializing in Indian food. Tanpura is an Indian musical instrument that buzzes. It is put in the name of the store to express that "our taste here is serious." The menu basically covers the common curry, scones, and rice set meals. It's quite cost-effective to order a Thali during lunch, and you can eat it alone until the afternoon. The environment is not pretentious and suitable for people who want to have a simple Indian meal without making it too complicated.
