About Tandoor Mahal

Tandoor Mahal is the resort's Indian restaurant, serving dinner from 7 pm to 10.30 pm in casual resort-wear. The menu runs from coconut-rich southern curries to smoky tandoor kebabs, with slow-simmered biryanis, freshly baked breads and coastal seafood specialities.

It is a good place to share: Thali selections are offered for families, there is a rich vegetarian selection, and a masala chai or lassi rounds off the evening. The resort describes the mood as soft-lit, intimate and celebratory.
