Hi everyone, Im going to eat out in a restaurant called Tamatanga tonight and i have no idea of the calories in anything! I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas of what would be best to eat. Thanks.

    Here's a link to their menu. Their website doesn't give any nutritional information, but I think you can probably find general nutrition info elsewhere for the types of Indian cusine served there.

    and their website:

    Yeah i already looked at their menu, thanks, Its so annoying that they dont put the kcals on the menu! I think it should be a legal requirement.

    Its indian food, but healthier, not as oily and stuff.

    Looking over the menu. I should be able to give you recommendations. Be mindful of portion sizes. And A LOT of Indian food is already in the database, so at least you can get a ballpark approximation.

    Pretty much anything on the Tandoor Plates is going to be "grilled", so to speak, and would be healthier.
    The veggie options all look good, except for paneer/daal makhani (makhan = butter).
    Obviously, avoid anything with 'creamy' in the description.

    Are there any particular dishes you are leaning towards?

    Mmmm, sounds delicious! I hope they will follow through and add the nutritional values to their website! I wonder if that would draw more customers?
