Tara Indian Cuisine

A tandoor is a clay oven fired by hardwood charcoal. It opens at the top and meat is lowered into the oven on skewers while the nan breads are baked stuck to the inner side of its walls. The enclosed heat slowly and simultaneously bakes, roasts, grills and smokes food, making the tandoori meat well-done yet juicy and soft with a "Smoky" flavour. The other secret that makes the tandoor meat so delicious is the special herb and spice yogurt marinade in which the meat or seafood is marinated for more than twenty-four hours. We are one of the few restaurants in canada who may boast of their own authentic, imported tandoor. All tandoor dishes come with vegetable, rice and salad.
