Our Story

The tandoor at Tandoori Kitchen

Our story starts at the fire

From a family kitchen to a Lafayette institution.

From the source to your table

  1. 2018

    Our first tandoor

    We opened on South Boulder Road and lit a traditional clay oven for Old Town Lafayette: real, high-heat cooking, made fresh.

  2. 2024

    Yelp Top 100

    Named #41 on Yelp's Top 100 US Restaurants, the highest-ranked restaurant in Colorado that year.

  3. 2026

    Year nine

    We started year nine with a full dining room, a cake and tees for the people who made this place a second home.

  4. Today

    Still cooking fresh

    Every order is made fresh, from our house-ground spices to our hand-stretched naan.
