Welcome to Tandoori Fire, where the vibrant flavors of Punjab meet the heart of California's capital. Located on 9th Street, we are dedicated to bringing the heat, aroma, and hospitality of traditional North Indian culture to the Downtown Sacramento community.
Tandoori Fire began with a simple vision: to serve honest, uncompromised Indian food. We saw a landscape filled with fusion concepts and shortcuts, but we craved the robust, slow-cooked flavors of our heritage. As a family-owned business, we decided to plant our roots right here in the city center.
We are not just a restaurant; we are a kitchen driven by tradition. Every recipe we serve has been passed down and perfected, ensuring that when you dine with us, you are tasting generations of culinary history. We are proud to share our culture with the diverse and bustling community of Sacramento.
The soul of our kitchen is the Tandoor, a traditional clay oven that reaches temperatures intense enough to sear meats instantly while keeping them juicy. This ancient technique gives our dishes their signature smoky flavor and char.
We specialize in North Indian cuisine, known for its rich, creamy sauces and aromatic spice blends. Unlike other styles, our food focuses on deep flavor development, using marinades of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and freshly ground spices. From the first bite of crisp Garlic Naan to the last spoonful of curry, you will taste the difference that authentic methods make.
Our menu is crafted to satisfy both the adventurous foodie and the comfort seeker. We are one of the few kitchens in the city serving bone-in Goat Karahi, a robust specialty slow-cooked to tenderness.
For our busy downtown neighbors, our Lunch Thali has become a staple—a complete platter offering a variety of flavors on one plate. Whether you crave the heat of a Tandoori Mix Grill or the comfort of a rich Butter Chicken, our signature dishes define the Tandoori Fire experience.
Quality is the foundation of our reputation. We believe that great food starts with great ingredients. That is why we source fresh produce locally and use premium Halal meats for all our dishes.
You will never find frozen pre-mixes in our kitchen. Our sauces are simmered daily, our dough is kneaded fresh every morning, and our spices are roasted in-house to unlock their full potential. We take the hard road because we know our customers can taste the difference.
We value our relationship with our customers, which is why we encourage you to order directly through our official website. By skipping the third-party apps, you support a local business and ensure that your money goes towards the quality of your food, not administrative fees.
Ordering direct guarantees you the best prices, priority service, and the freshest possible meal for pickup or delivery.
