Tandoori Festival offers a plethora of flavours, distinct aromas, and textures that can only be achieved by using the charcoal-fired traditional clay oven, which provides complete wrap-around heat. This slow-cooking process adds an accentuated smoky note and allows for in-depth flavours from the marinade to infuse seamlessly and evenly into the skewered produce as oil and spice meet the embers.Delectable Appetisers Beckon

Begin the gastronomic experience with the popular street snack, Bhel Puri Cone, crispy puffed rice infused with tamarind chutney, for a tangy, crunchy treat. Thereafter, look forward to tantalising creations from the tandoor, showcasing the versatility of flavours and textures achieved with this ancient culinary technique. Malai Salmon Kebab presents grilled Norwegian salmon marinated with cheese and yogurt, while the vegetarian menu offers Jimikand Galouti Kebab, a kebab of soft yam and sweet potato.
