Taste of Tandoor brings traditional North Indian flavours and tandoor cooking to central Dunedin.
 
Dunedin, New Zealand: Taste of Tandoor, a locally established Indian restaurant in Dunedin, is strengthening its presence in the city’s CBD with a continued focus on delivering authentic North Indian cuisine rooted in traditional cooking techniques. Located at 110 Moray Place, the restaurant offers a culturally grounded dining experience shaped by time-honoured recipes and the expertise of Chef Ramakant Semwal.

With over 20 years of culinary experience, Chef Semwal has built his reputation on preserving the integrity of North Indian cooking while adapting to local tastes. At Taste of Tandoor, this approach is reflected in a menu that highlights classic dishes such as butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, and shahi paneer, alongside a range of vegetarian and meat options prepared using traditional methods.

Central to the restaurant’s culinary identity is the use of a clay tandoor oven, a staple of Indian cooking that imparts distinctive flavour and texture. Combined with freshly sourced ingredients and carefully balanced spices, the kitchen aims to deliver what many diners describe as an authentic Indian food Dunedin experience.

“Our goal has always been to bring genuine North Indian flavours to Dunedin in a way that respects tradition,” said Chef Ramakant Semwal. “Tandoor cooking, fresh ingredients, and consistency are at the heart of what we do. We want guests to experience food that reflects the richness of Indian culinary heritage.”
