From Our Open Tandoor

A Tandoor is a vat shaped clay oven heated with hardwood charcoal (you can see ours). It opens at the top and meat is lowered into the oven on skewers while the naan breads are stuck to the inner side of its walls and baked. The enclosed heat slowly and simultaneously bakes, roasts, grills and smokes food, rendering the meats well done, yet juicy and soft with a "smoky flavor". Meat, fish, and seafood are marinated in our special yogurt, spices and herbs sauce for 24 hours before going into the Tandoor.
