The Moghul Kings of India who ruled from the 700's to the 1600's, and built such famed monuments as the Taj Mahal and Red Fort introduced a Muslim flavor that blended with local North Indian foods to create the famed Mughlai cuisine of today.

Our Mission:
Our flavorful food, quality, professional & friendly service and clean facility will exceed our royal guests expectations.

Tandoori Cuisine

Tandoori cuisine is an ancient Indian art of cooking, handed down through the generations. The Tandoor is a clay oven, made from the choicest clays, crafted with natural binding agents, and fired by charcoal embers.

The meats are first marinated in a traditional sauce, skewered and placed in the Tandoor. Succulent juices from the cooking foods mingle with the burning aromas to produce a succulent blend, producing the famous Tandoor flavors.
