Our Tandoor Oven in Las Vegas

We wouldn't call ourselves an authentic Indian restaurant if we didn't appropriately prepare our dishes in a tandoor oven, but we most certainly do! In fact, we have a variety of authentic, clay-oven-baked dishes on our menu, such as our tandoori chicken.

Tandoori Chicken on the Las Vegas Strip

This Indian delicacy is one of our most popular dishes, and we prepare it with authenticity! Cooked in a traditional tandoor oven, our tandoori chicken is among the best on the strip. Along with our tandoori chicken, we have a wide selection of dishes properly prepared in a tandoor oven.

What is a Tandoor Oven?

The tandoor oven is used for cooking and baking a variety of dishes throughout Southern, Central, and Western Asia. The tandoor ovens can range in size and shape, yet they all typically operate the same. Made from clay, the tandoor oven is insulated, usually with mud or concrete, and has a cylindrical shape. The top of the tandoor oven is curved inward to retain heat, while the top remains open for ventilation.

Heating for the oven traditionally uses a charcoal or wood fire, made at the bottom of the tandoor oven. The fire can heat the oven up to 900º Fahrenheit, yet the fire is left to die down to ensure a consistent cooking temperature. While meat, like tandoori chicken, is usually placed on skewers to cook at the top, naan will be stuck directly on the walls inside the tandoor oven.

At Tamba Lounge in Las Vegas, we use our tandoor oven for many dishes, ensuring an authentic touch on traditional dishes. From our famous tandoori chicken to seekh kabobs, you can choose from a variety of Indian dishes prepared in a tandoor oven.
