For many years, Tower Tandoori has been a beacon of authentic Indian cuisine in London. Our commitment to preserving traditional recipes is evident in every dish we serve. Understanding the importance of authenticity, we take meticulous steps to ensure that our food is as close to its roots as possible. The journey involves sourcing the finest ingredients, using time-honoured cooking methods and continually training our chefs in traditional techniques.

Authentic ingredients play a crucial role in creating genuine Indian flavours. By sourcing spices and other products directly from India, we can offer a dining experience that is both rich and true to its origins. This dedication to quality doesn’t end there. Our chefs employ classic cooking methods and equipment, like tandoor ovens, mortar, and pestle, to prepare each dish perfectly.

Respecting age-old recipes is at the heart of what we do. Many of our recipes have been passed down through generations, retaining the essence of family culinary traditions. By maintaining the integrity of these recipes, our Indian restaurant offers our patrons a taste of India's rich culinary heritage. This dedication is further reinforced by continual culinary training, ensuring our chefs are well-versed in traditional cooking techniques. These efforts keep the spirit of authentic Indian cuisine alive, making every meal with us a celebration of heritage and flavour.

Sourcing High-Quality Ingredients

High-quality ingredients form the backbone of authentic Indian cuisine. We understand that a dish's essence lies in its components' freshness and authenticity. That's why we prioritise sourcing the best ingredients, ensuring our dishes are imbued with genuine flavours.

We source specific spices and products directly from India. This meticulous approach includes sourcing premium-grade turmeric, cumin, cardamom, and more. These spices are integral to the rich and aromatic profiles of our dishes. Additionally, we ensure that vegetables, meats, and dairy products meet our stringent quality standards. By using fresh and authentic ingredients, we can maintain the integrity of traditional recipes and deliver a genuine taste of India.

Traditional Cooking Methods

Traditional cooking methods are essential to preserving the authenticity of Indian cuisine. We employ classic techniques passed down through generations to prepare our dishes, ensuring our food honours its origins.

One essential technique is using the tandoor oven. This clay oven is central to many Indian dishes, imparting a unique smoky flavour and perfecting textures. We cook several of our signature dishes, such as naan and kebabs, in the tandoor to achieve the ideal balance of taste and texture.

Additionally, our chefs use traditional equipment like the mortar and pestle to grind spices by hand. This process releases essential oils and aromas, elevating the flavour profile of each dish. By embracing these time-honoured methods, we ensure that our food remains true to its traditional roots, offering an authentic culinary experience with every bite.

Respecting Age-Old Recipes

Age-old recipes carry the essence of an authentic Indian restaurant. These recipes, passed down through generations, are a window into the rich tradition and history of Indian cuisine. We take pride in respecting and maintaining these ancient recipes.

The significance of family recipes lies in their authenticity. They have stood the test of time and evolved to perfection. Our chefs follow these recipes to the letter, ensuring that every dish prepared adheres to traditional methods and ingredients. By doing so, we honour the culinary heritage that each recipe represents.

We maintain the integrity of these recipes by using authentic techniques and ingredients. Our chefs are trained to understand the nuances of each dish, from spice blends to cooking times. This attention to detail ensures that every meal served remains true to its roots, offering an authentic taste of Indian tradition.

Continuous Culinary Training

Continuous culinary training is crucial in preserving the authenticity of traditional Indian cuisine. We place great emphasis on training our chefs in the art of conventional cooking methods. This ensures that our culinary skills are passed on from generation to generation.

Training chefs in traditional techniques is vital for maintaining the quality and authenticity of our dishes. Our training programs cover everything from spice blending to using conventional equipment. This hands-on approach helps our chefs master the skills to prepare authentic Indian dishes.

We focus on skill development and preserving culinary skills for future generations. Investing in continuous training ensures our chefs have the knowledge and expertise to maintain our high standards.
