The TANDOOR is a barrel-shaped pit oven made from an amalgam of special clays, oils and natural binding agents. The fuel is wood charcoal.
The food, whether it be chicken, lamb, beef, shrimp or fish is marinated for a minimum of twelve hours in a special blend of spices. The food is then skewered and broiled in the hot air of the clay oven. The intense heat sears the meat on the outside, thus locking in the meats own juices, providing for a crisp exterior with a moist and juicy inside, a taste that has not been duplicated by any other oven. As NO fats or oils are used in this process, the food is low in calories and is excellent for people on a diet. The only oil used is brushed on butter when the meat comes out of the oven to retain the moisture of the food.

The following items are prepared with meats grilled in the TANDOOR.
Served with basmati rice, raita and katchumber. We use fresh domestic lamb, fresh chicken, red snapper and gulf shrimp.

BHUNA onions, peppers and mushrooms, fresh herbs
