Our experienced chefs flaunt their exquisite creations and our fine selection of wines complimenting the cuisine. Aesthetically done interiors, warm and cordial staff, soft music, all will set you in the right mood to appreciate a delectable meal at Tandoorie wok.

Vegetarianism is a way of life for a large sector of Indian population based not only on personal choice but strongly on Religious constraints. Tandoorie Wok offers a welcome excitement to an Otherwise weary polate.

Lamb is popular red meat in India as beef and pork are not favored due to religious sentiments.

At Tandoorie Wok, we respect these Sentiments & completely avoid beef and pork on the menu.

We use the best Australian and New Zealand lamb to create these wonderful offerings.

In true Indian style, our rice delicacies are made using Indian Basmati Rice.
