A Culinary Tour of India—Without Leaving Bradenton
North India: Creamy, Rich, and Comforting
Northern Indian cuisine is known for its bold use of dairy, warm spices, and hearty gravies. Many of the most well-known Indian dishes come from this region, and we’ve got them right here on the menu.
Must-Try Northern Dishes:
Butter Chicken – Pulled tandoori chicken simmered in a rich, creamy tomato gravy with butter and fenugreek. A house favorite!
Dal Makhani – A deeply flavorful dish made with five types of lentils slow-cooked with ginger, butter, and aromatic spices.
Punjabi Chole (Chana Masala) – Chickpeas cooked in a tomato-onion base with dry herbs and spices. Hearty, protein-packed, and 100% vegetarian.
Tandoori Chicken – Bone-in chicken leg quarters marinated in yogurt and spices, roasted in our traditional clay oven until smoky and tender.
These dishes are the definition of Indian comfort food, warm, rich, and full of flavor.
Spice Lovers Welcome: Bold Flavors & Signature Heat
While our menu focuses heavily on North Indian staples, we also feature dishes that capture the vibrant, spicy edge many associate with South Indian cuisine.
Dishes with Bold Flavors:
Vegetable Korma – A medley of fresh vegetables cooked in a creamy, lightly spiced sauce. A great option for those who want depth without overwhelming heat.
Chicken Vindaloo / Lamb Vindaloo – For those who love it hot, Vindaloo is a fiery favorite made with vinegar, garlic, and red chili. Bold, tangy, and not for the faint of heart!
These dishes bring a spicy, flavorful contrast to the creamier northern fare, and they’re perfect for adventurous palates.

At Tandoor, we also offer regional-inspired dishes that showcase the playful, snackable side of Indian food, and everything is made in-house with care.
