Tandoor (Clay Oven)
The Tandoor is a clay oven which is a integral part of sub continental cooking. The Tandoor was originally used for making bread items such as Naan and Tandoori Roti. History has it that the practice was started in Egypt during the construction of the great pyramid. Because of the vast demand for food ,especially bread, the Egyptians used the same stones that were used for the Pyramids to make a grinding stone. They used this to grind wheat, which was mixed with water to make bread and baked in the tandoor. Thus the tradition of baking was born. It found its way into Persia, then Afghanistan then finally to Northern India

Here at spice route we present our customers the opportunity to observe first hand the chefs in our kitchen cooking at the Tandoor which is situated in our reception area and can be seen through the window

Our Tandoori dishes have no artificial colours or preservatives. The colouring is achieved using a combination of turmeric, saffron and a special strain of chilli from Kashmir
