Tandori ovens

Professional tandoor ovens are commercial cooking appliances designed to prepare traditional Indian dishes and specialities from other Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Ideal for Indian restaurants, ethnic restaurants, fusion dining venues, hotels, catering companies and commercial kitchens, they are used to cook tandoori chicken, marinated meats, naan bread, tandoori flatbreads and other suitable preparations using a specialised cooking chamber.

Commercial tandoori ovens are available in different sizes and configurations, featuring vertical cooking chambers, refractory inner walls, top openings and external supporting structures depending on the model. They may use gas, charcoal or other manufacturer-specified heating systems. Certain versions include metal skewers, food handling tools and accessories designed for preparing traditional naan bread.

When choosing a professional tandoor oven for an Indian restaurant, consider cooking chamber dimensions, production capacity, fuel type, refractory materials and ease of operation. Ventilation, smoke extraction, exhaust arrangements, operating temperatures and safety clearances must also be checked, especially for solid-fuel versions. Installation and maintenance must follow manufacturer instructions and applicable technical requirements.
