Spice Up Your Evening: Discover Our Tandoori Specialities in Altea

The tandoor is the heart and soul of any authentic Indian kitchen, and at Indian Elephant Restaurant in Altea, ours burns bright every single day. This traditional clay oven reaches temperatures of over 400 degrees, creating a fierce heat that transforms simple ingredients into something extraordinary. If you have not yet tried our tandoori dishes, you are missing out on one of the most exciting parts of our menu.

Our Tandoori Chicken is the dish that started it all. Whole chicken legs are marinated overnight in a blend of yoghurt, lemon juice, and a secret mix of spices that has been passed down through generations. When they hit the tandoor, the yoghurt caramelises and the spices bloom, creating that iconic red-orange colour and a flavour that is smoky, tangy, and utterly addictive.

Seafood lovers will adore our Tandoori Prawns. Large, succulent prawns are marinated in a zesty mix of lemon, garlic, and tandoori spices before being grilled to perfection. The high heat of the tandoor seals in the natural sweetness of the prawns while adding a beautiful smokiness. Served with fresh salad and our house-made mint chutney, they are the perfect starter for any occasion.

For something truly special, our Mixed Tandoori Platter brings together the best of the tandoor on one plate. Chicken tikka, lamb seekh kebab, tandoori prawns, and paneer tikka are all grilled fresh and served sizzling with onions and peppers. It is ideal for sharing and gives you a taste of everything our tandoor has to offer.

The tandoor is more than just an oven. It is a centuries-old tradition that brings out the very best in every ingredient it touches. At Indian Elephant Restaurant, we honour that tradition every day, right here in the heart of Altea. Visit us at Carrer Consol 11, Altea. Open daily 13:00 to 23:00. Book your table today.
