Tandoori Specialties
Tandoori is a health conscious gourmet choice. Tandoori cooking is an Indian style barbecue - the heat from a pitcher shaped clay oven quickly seals in the food?s natural juices. No fat or oil is used to add calories or mask the distinctive taste and aroma. All of our tandoori specials are marinated in special sauce for 12 hours and cooked in the tandoor. All tandoori dishes are served with naan, an Indian bread, baked in the tandoor instantly with your order, and served sizzling over a bed of crispy onions and bell peppers.
