About Copper Tandoors

The Art of Cooking in a Tandoori Oven, Wrapped in Copper

There are ovens, and then there are centrepieces. A copper tandoor is both. It’s a beautiful piece of functional art that draws people in before they’ve even tasted the food. Inspired by the rhythmic shape of the dholak drum, our copper tandoors bring a special kind of warmth and elegance to any space, turning a simple meal into a memorable event, right here in your restaurant or your own backyard.


What Makes These Tandoors So Special?

  • Yes to The Tradition: We made these ovens in the iconic shape of a dholak or tabla, instruments that are the heartbeat of South Asian culture. It’s more than just a design; it’s a connection to the rich heritage of music, celebration, and community that revolves around tandoori cooking.
  • Beauty Without the Work: Let’s be honest, you’d rather be perfecting your recipes than polishing metal all day. We get it. That’s why we designed the copper finish to look stunning without demanding constant upkeep. It maintains its glow, giving you more time to do what you love.
  • The Heart of the Oven is Clay: Inside each copper shell is a handcrafted clay pot, the secret to incredible flavour. We source our clay from the foothills of the Himalayas, where artisans with generations of experience shape each pot by hand. You can feel that quality in the pot’s durability and taste it in the food it produces.
  • Your Choice of Fire: Are you feeling the convenience of gas for a quick weeknight dinner, or the smoky, traditional flavour of charcoal for a Saturday get-together? You can do both. Our tandoors are built to run on natural gas, propane, charcoal, or wood, giving you complete freedom over your cooking style.
  • Built for USA Weather: These tandoors are tough. They’re designed to handle life outdoors, whether on a restaurant patio in Manhattan New York or in your backyard in Michigan. They can stand up to the elements and will be ready to go when our beautiful, but short, patio season kicks off each year.
  • Finding the Perfect Fit: Whether you’re a home chef with a small patio or a restaurant with a huge commercial kitchen, we have a size that fits your space and your ambition.
