The Bengal Tiger has tandoors (clay ovens) in which are cooked succulent meats - lamb, chicken, prawns, fish and pork spare ribs, and also Naans and Parathas (Indian bread - cooked against the wall of 
the oven with various stuffing available - such as spiced cottage cheese, minced lamb, potatoes, onions, mint or garlic.)

'Tandoori Sizzler' - an assortment of meats marinated in yoghurt and special herbs, cooked in the Tandoor and served on a sizzler. Prawns, beef, fish dishes and a very good selection of vegetarian dishes are also featured on the menu. Desserts include the Kulfi - which is a delicious Indian style ice-cream. | |
