Our story

A family kitchen, thirty years on Coutts Street

Tandoori Heritage is owned and run by Preetam and his wife Sarb. They opened in 1994 and have cooked here ever since.

The kitchen works from recipes drawn across the geography of India — some from its regional kitchens, some from its streets — kept as they were rather than softened for a new country.

A slow-cooked curry finished with fresh coriander

Curries built the same way for thirty years — onion, tomato, ginger and garlic, cooked down slowly.
