A Carlisle institution More Than a Restaurant

Thank you for visiting Stanwix Tandoori, one of the pioneers of Indian cuisine in our region. Established in 1981, we are deeply rooted in the local area, sharing many happy memories with generations of customers.

We are more than a restaurant. We have become a focal point for the local community. Our journey has included a devastating fire in March 2021, but the support of our friends, patrons and family inspired us to come back stronger than ever.

Still managed by the same family, now by the younger generation, we hope to keep you fed, watered and welcomed for many years to come.

From Our Tandoor

Smoky, charred and unforgettable - the heart of our kitchen.

The tandoor Our Signature Cooking

Succulent meats are marinated overnight in yoghurt and our signature blend of spices, then charred to perfection in a traditional clay tandoor oven.

From tender Chicken Tikka to succulent Afghan Chops, the tandoor is the heart of our kitchen - smoky, generous and made to be shared.
