Tandoor Bocado was an absolute delight. I dined solo and began with the butterfish sashimi, which was incredibly fresh and melted in your mouth. The different elements added to accent the sashimi were perfectly balanced and elevated the dish without overpowering the fish — a flawless appetizer. For my main course, I ordered the lemongrass pork noodles. The noodles were cooked perfectly, with great texture, and the pork was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned without being overpowering. Everything felt balanced and thoughtfully prepared. The apple dessert (I wish I remembered the name) was divine and the perfect way to end the meal. What truly elevated the experience was the service. My server, Taylor, was as perfect as they come — cheerful, welcoming, and genuinely excited to explain the menu and share the history behind the chef. Their enthusiasm added so much to the evening. I also had the pleasure of meeting the chef, who took a moment to personally say hello and thank me for coming in. That level of warmth and care speaks volumes. This restaurant is a true diamond in the rough and will absolutely become a regular place for me to enjoy a fabulous meal and wonderful ambiance.

Very friendly staff. Trevor was my server, said they taste all the food to make recommendations. He was accurate in describing my choices and directing me to the best choices for my tastes last night. He said the menu changes every 8 or so weeks, so come back and taste more delicious foods. I came alone and usually I get ignored, not here! Thank you Trevor.

We've been here before and we were really excited to take some friends to experience what I've described as my favorite place to grab a bite in Rapid. The food is definitely elevated, and I'll be happy to see the kitchen at Tandoor Bocado continue to be recognized. However, the service put a bit of a sour mark on most recent visit. We arrived late afternoon, and were informed that most of the lunch menu had sold out — which is a fantastic problem to have. Our server helped us figure out what was still available to order and the food that we did order was great as it was before. However the candor and professionalism of our service left much to be desired. We saw our server pour herself a beer and after our initial interactions, was rude to our party. The strangest interaction was when she accused our friend of not signing the check, although there was an honest mistake made in the credit card slip he had grabbed. The attitude and way with which that was addressed just made for a very very peculiar interaction that I can only chalk up to fatigue from a sell-out day or something else going on. I hope that others have a better interaction with the service as the food is phenomenal.
