Can't complain got a Chicken tikka masala with some garlic Naan and a mango drink was great.

The host/server was polite but not inviting. Menu is smaller than I expected for Indian. Barbecue chicken wings were lukewarm, dry, and uninteresting. Chicken tikka masala was heavy on the butter and cream but lacking the depth of flavor I expect from Indian. Where were the seasoning and spices? The house curry was also creamy but not flavorful. Even the rice served with the meal was unseasoned, while all other Indian restaurants I’ve been to seem to season their rice with fennel or curry leaves. I wanted this to be great, but it wasn’t it. Maybe others will like these more approachable, less authentic dishes.

This is a nice restaurant with seating in one large open room but with nice spacing and booths providing a sense of intimacy. Our waiter was professional and attentive. We only wish our meals were better. Our sense is that the kitchen dumbs down flavors to appease the locals as our meal didn’t have the tastes we are accustomed to at Corriander, Indya and other Philadelphia area Indian restaurants. Also, the menu is kind of Americanized with chicken wings and other items we wouldn’t deem to be traditional Indian cuisine. The somasas were tasty and enjoyable. My yellow lentils were drab and the chicken tika had flavor, although my dining partner was underwhelmed. This restaurant is BYOB so you will save on wine costs and the pricing is reasonable. It is still nice to have an Indian option in the area and many others seem to enjoy their meals, so we will give Sandlewood another try and suggest you try it as well.

Authentic delicious Indian food! A welcome new addition to the area and we will be revisiting next time we're in Wildwood. Both the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Tandoori Chicken had perfectly spiced tender pieces of chicken.

The food is AMAZING ! We tried numerous dishes. The Tandoori chicken was outstanding, it is a must try, I went with the chickpea marsala which was excellent but does come with some heat. My wife went with the potato Dal, imagine crepe but folded over and filled with potatoes and seasoning which was also Very Good. The stuffed mushrooms were very good for me but not heat they were stuffed with spinach and a different type of seasoning. We will definitely be back. This is a strong recommend for any vegetarian or foodie.
