Ahad Tandoori is an Indian restaurant and takeaway at 78–82 High Street in Gosforth. Its cooking is shaped by family recipes and regional influences from Kashmir, Rajasthan and Bengal, presented in a long established neighbourhood restaurant setting.
The tandoor is an important part of the menu, producing chicken and lamb tikka, tandoori chicken, lamb chops and shashlik with the direct heat and spice associated with clay oven cooking. These grilled dishes sit alongside a substantial selection of curries and house preparations.
Starters range from vegetable pakora to prawn puri, chicken chaat and seekh kebab, giving mixed groups several ways to begin a meal. Rice, breads and vegetable side dishes can then be combined with the main courses for a shared spread across the table.
Guests can reserve a table for a seated meal or use the collection and delivery services at home. The breadth of spice, sauces and tandoori cooking offers choices for different preferences, although diners with allergies or dietary restrictions should confirm ingredients and preparation with the restaurant before ordering.
