Tandoor or Not Tandoor? (that is the question)
Clay is amazing! You can shape it and sculpt it into pots, plates and porcelain. But we think the best thing about clay is that you can fashion it into a tandoor. Heating a tandoor is like powering a steam train - you have to constantly fuel the fire by shovelling in lots of charcoal. It can be hard work but it's worth it, because with a little love and attention you produce the intense, dry heat (approaching 480 degree Celcius) - that's the secret of tandoori cuisine.
Locally Sourced
Our local ingredients prove to be the difference in taking your dining experience to the next level. Every spice is carefully selected for freshness and quality. The culinary team at The Silk Route presents a traditional menu from the subcontinent as well as contemporary and fusion items. We continuously endeavour to improve the purest traditional Indian cuisine while simultaneously creating innovative modern dishes.
Let us take you on a journey through tastes and culinary sensations!
