What is a restaurant tandoor? A restaurant tandoor is a larger, heavy-duty tandoor made for commercial kitchens. It has a clay cooking chamber, an insulated body and a sturdy outer shell, and it is built to run for hours at a time for naan, roti, kulcha, tikka, tandoori chicken and kebabs. Commercial tandoors are made in bigger sizes than home tandoors so that a chef can cook many pieces at once during rush hour.

What Is a Double Body Tandoor? Why It Matters in a Restaurant

Short answer: A double body tandoor has a clay drum tandoor inside, an outer body around it, and insulation in between. The insulation keeps the heat in the chamber instead of letting it escape through the wall. That helps the tandoor cook steadily, makes better use of fuel, and keeps the outer surface cooler for your staff.

Steady heat

Heat stays in the chamber, so the tandoor recovers faster between batches and your naan and tikka come out consistent in rush hour.

Better fuel use

Less heat leaks through the wall, so the same fuel goes further, whether you cook on charcoal, gas or both.

Safer to work beside

The outer body stays cooler than a single wall tandoor, which matters in a crowded kitchen or a live counter.

How the square tandoor is built

The square tandoor is the same clay drum tandoor as the round one, fitted inside a square outer body. A square body takes more space around the drum, so we fill that space with extra insulation, which is why the square tandoor has double insulation. The round tandoor is a clay drum tandoor with a cylindrical outer body and insulation in between.

Insulation: We use industrial-grade glass wool between the inner and outer body, a material widely used for high-temperature insulation in industry. A single wall tandoor loses a lot of heat to the kitchen, which makes the work area hotter and burns more fuel.

Working temperature: Our tandoors can reach up to about 400°C. For regular tandoori cooking, around 300°C is enough, so you have good headroom for rush hour.

Square vs Round Restaurant Tandoor

Short answer: Choose a square tandoor if you want a flat-sided body that fits neatly in a kitchen line, a live counter or a built-in setup, with extra insulation around the clay drum. Choose a round (cylindrical) tandoor if you want the classic pot shape that many tandoor chefs prefer for naan and roti. Both cook the same food. We recommend the square double body tandoor for most restaurants.

	Square tandoor	Round tandoor
Shape	Flat sides, box shape	Classic cylindrical pot shape
Fits in	Kitchen lines, counters, built-in or tiled setups	Open floor space or a standalone spot
Body	Clay drum tandoor inside a square outer body, with double insulation	Clay drum tandoor with a cylindrical outer body and insulation (double body)
Sizes	24 × 24 × 36 up to 36 × 36 × 36 Jumbo	20 × 25 up to 36 × 37 Jumbo Round
Material	MS or SS	MS or SS
Fuel	Charcoal, gas or hybrid	Charcoal, gas or hybrid
Popular in	Restaurants, hotels, live kitchens, banquets	Dhabas, traditional kitchens, caterers

MS or SS: Which Body Material for Your Restaurant?

Short answer: Choose SS (stainless steel) if you want the longest life, an easy-to-clean look and better resistance to rust, especially in humid cities or open live kitchens. Choose MS (mild steel) if you want a lower upfront cost and are happy to keep it dry and cared for. The tandoor chamber and insulation are built the same way in both.

	MS (mild steel)	SS (stainless steel)
Cost	Lower upfront cost	Higher upfront cost
Rust	Rusts sooner, needs dry storage and care	Much better rust resistance
Cleaning and look	Needs paint or coating upkeep	Wipe clean, bright steel finish
Best for	Covered, dry kitchens and tighter budgets	Busy restaurants, humid or coastal cities, live kitchens

Not sure which to choose? Send us your city and kitchen type on WhatsApp and we will tell you which material makes sense.

Plan Your Kitchen Before You Buy A Simple Checklist for a Restaurant Tandoor

Short answer: Before you order, check the space, ventilation, floor, fuel supply and fire safety. A tandoor runs very hot and gives off smoke and fumes, so the kitchen has to be ready for it.

Space and clearance. Measure the spot for the full size of the tandoor, with room for the chef to stand and work, and keep it away from walls and anything that can burn.
Hood and exhaust. Plan a hood or exhaust over the tandoor to take away heat, smoke and fumes. Charcoal produces carbon monoxide, so good ventilation is a must.
Strong, level floor. A commercial tandoor is heavy. Put it on a level, solid floor.
Fuel supply. For gas, plan a safe LPG line with a proper regulator and fittings. For charcoal, plan dry storage and a safe way to remove ash.
Fire safety. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and train your staff on lighting, shutting off and cooling down the tandoor.
Curing before first use. Heat a new clay tandoor slowly in stages before regular cooking so the clay settles without cracking.

Safety: Never use a charcoal or gas tandoor in a closed room without proper ventilation. Follow your local fire and gas safety rules.

A double body tandoor has a clay drum tandoor inside, an outer body around it and insulation in between. The insulation keeps heat in the chamber and the outer surface cooler. Both our square and round restaurant tandoors are double body.

It holds heat in the chamber for steadier cooking, helps the same fuel go further and keeps the outside of the tandoor cooler for your staff to work beside, especially in a crowded kitchen or live counter.

A square tandoor is the same clay drum tandoor inside a square outer body with extra insulation, and its flat sides fit neatly in a kitchen line or live counter. We recommend it for most restaurants. A round (cylindrical) tandoor has the classic pot shape that many chefs like for naan and roti. Both cook the same food.

SS (stainless steel) lasts longer, wipes clean and resists rust better, which suits busy restaurants, humid cities and live kitchens. MS (mild steel) costs less upfront but rusts sooner and needs dry storage and care. The chamber and insulation are the same in both.
