Frequently asked questions

What type of food is served?

tandoorchai serves desi dishes built around spiced grills, curries, rice dishes, and naan-led meals. Guests typically browse signature plates first, then add sides or a deal.

What are the usual opening hours?

Most UK branches of tandoorchai trade through lunch and evening service, but exact opening times vary by location - check your nearest store before you visit.

Do they offer delivery?

Many tandoorchai locations support delivery through their own channels or major UK apps. Coverage and fees depend on your postcode and the branch.

Can I customise my order?

Yes - most tandoorchai dishes can be adjusted for toppings, sauces, or sides, though not every item is fully customisable.

Are there vegetarian or vegan options?

Vegetarian-friendly desi dishes appear across the menu. Vegan suitability depends on cheese, sauces, and kitchen practice, so confirm with staff if you need a strict plant-based meal.

Is tandoorchai halal?

Source notes mark tandoorchai as fully halal, but you should still confirm meat certification with your local branch before ordering.

Are meal deals available?

Yes. Deals such as Curry Meal usually offer better value than buying the same items separately.

Do prices vary between locations?

Yes. MenuPick shows guide prices starting from around from £2.20, but city-centre or delivery mark-ups can differ by branch.

What is a good first order?

A popular starting point is Papadum Basket. From there, add a simple side or drink rather than overloading extras on the first visit.

Do I need to pre-order?

Walk-ins are usually welcome, and many branches also accept online collection or delivery orders. Pre-ordering helps at peak times.

Popular Items at tandoorchai

tandoorchai stands out for spiced grills, curries, rice dishes, and naan-led meals. Diners usually choose between grill platters, curry favourites, or rice-and-bread combos when they open the menu.

  • The Malai Chicken is widely chosen for its classic flavour and generous topping profile
  • The Hariyali Chicken is popular when you want something simple, light, and familiar
  • Meat-loaded or richer options like the Malai Paneer are often selected for a more filling meal
  • Spicy or bolder flavours such as Veg Thali are commonly picked by people who prefer stronger seasoning
  • Non Veg Thali is frequently ordered by people who want more control over toppings and sauces

Budget-Friendly Choices at tandoorchai

tandoorchai is generally affordable compared with sit-down restaurants, but prices can rise depending on extras and meal deals. The best value usually comes from simpler desi dishes or set deals rather than fully loaded custom orders.

Option Type What to Expect Smart Choice Example
Value meals Dish + drink or side combos Curry Meal
Light meals Simple single desi dishes Veg Samosa
Saver deals Basic combinations without heavy extras Malai Chicken + drink
Everyday picks Affordable, simple choices Non Veg Thali
  • Choosing a Veg Samosa instead of heavily loaded options helps keep costs lower
  • Meal deals like Curry Meal are usually better value than ordering items separately
  • Keeping toppings and add-ons simple avoids quickly increasing the final bill

What to Order at tandoorchai Based on Your Needs

At tandoorchai, the right order depends on appetite and flavour preference - light, loaded, or somewhere in between.

  • For solo meals: A Malai Chicken is a balanced, filling option without being too heavy
  • For chicken or lighter protein: Chicken-led or milder builds such as Veg Thali are often preferred
  • For richer meals: The Malai Paneer is commonly chosen when you want something more indulgent
  • For budget-conscious users: A Veg Samosa or simple custom build keeps spending low
  • For quick takeaway: Standard picks like Malai Chicken or Hariyali Chicken are easiest to grab and go

What to Know Before Ordering from tandoorchai

tandoorchai focuses on freshly prepared desi dishes, so portion size, extras, and pricing can vary depending on how you build your order. It is designed for speed and customisation.

  • Portion sizes can vary depending on the item and how it is prepared in-store
  • Build-your-own or heavily customised orders can become expensive if too many extras are added
  • Meal deals often offer better overall value than buying every item separately
  • Some dishes like Malai Paneer are very filling and may not need many sides
  • Availability of specific toppings or specials may vary slightly by location

Is tandoorchai Halal, Vegan, or Vegetarian Friendly?

tandoorchai offers a mix of vegetarian-friendly choices, and some UK branches provide halal-friendly meat options, but this can vary by location.

Category Availability
Halal Marked as fully halal on source notes - still confirm certification with your branch
Vegetarian Wide range of vegetarian-friendly options, including choices such as Veg Samosa
Vegan Vegan cheese, sauces, or plant-based swaps may be available in selected stores - always confirm preparation methods
