Tandoor Accessories, Skewers & Replacement Parts
A commercial clay tandoor needs more than the oven itself. The right tandoor accessories and replacement parts help chefs cook naan, kebabs, chicken tikka, paneer, vegetables, seafood, and other tandoor dishes while also helping restaurant operators maintain the oven over years of regular use.
At Nishi Enterprise, our Tandoor Accessories collection includes commercial tandoor skewers, kebab skewers, naan bread removing tools, replacement parts, lava rocks, baffle burner plates, and clay repair mix for professional tandoor kitchens. We carry a wide selection of round, square, flat, stainless steel, and steel skewers in several thicknesses so chefs can choose the right tool for the food being cooked.
Whether you are opening a new Indian restaurant, replacing worn tandoor tools, expanding a kebab menu, or maintaining an existing Shaan or Shahi clay oven, this collection brings together many of the accessories used around a working commercial tandoor station.
If you still need the oven itself, browse our complete Commercial Tandoor Clay Ovens collection.
Commercial Tandoor Skewers
Tandoor skewers are among the most important tools in a clay oven kitchen. Rather than placing food directly on a grill grate, many tandoor dishes are threaded onto long skewers and suspended vertically inside the oven, allowing the intense heat of the tandoor to cook the food quickly.
Different foods require different skewer shapes and thicknesses. A skewer that works well for paneer or vegetables may not be the best choice for a heavy piece of chicken or a dense seekh kebab mixture.
Nishi Enterprise carries commercial skewers in multiple styles so restaurants can build a set suited to their menu. You can also browse our dedicated Tandoor Skewers collection for an even broader selection.
Round Tandoor Skewers
Round tandoor skewers are versatile tools used for many everyday tandoor preparations. Depending on the thickness, they can be used for paneer, shrimp, fish, vegetables, chicken, kebabs, and other ingredients.
Our Stainless Steel Round Tandoor Skewers are available in 3 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm thicknesses. This gives chefs the ability to choose a lighter or heavier skewer based on the food being prepared.
Thinner round skewers can work particularly well for lighter ingredients such as vegetables, paneer, shrimp, or fish. Heavier round skewers provide additional strength for larger pieces of meat and other substantial ingredients.
Square Tandoor & Kebab Skewers
Square tandoor skewers provide another popular option for commercial tandoor cooking. Their shape can provide additional surface contact with the food compared with a round skewer, which can be useful for certain kebabs and heavier proteins.
Our Stainless Steel Square Tandoor Kebab Skewers are available in 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm sizes.
A restaurant may keep several thicknesses at the tandoor station rather than trying to use one skewer for every menu item. Smaller skewers can be used for lighter foods, while thicker options can help support chicken, larger cuts, or heavier kebab preparations.
Flat Skewers for Seekh Kebab, Koobideh & Ground Meat Kebabs
Flat skewers are especially useful when the food needs a wider surface to grip. Ground meat kebabs are one of the most common examples.
Our 24" x 1" Stainless Steel Flat Kabob Skewers provide a wide surface for foods such as seekh kebab, sheesh kebab, koobideh, Afghan kebabs, and other ground meat preparations.
This makes the collection relevant beyond Indian restaurants. Pakistani, Afghan, Persian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and other restaurants using traditional skewer cooking can also find useful options within the assortment.
Choosing the Right Skewer Thickness
Tandoor skewer thickness should be matched to the weight and type of food being cooked.
3 mm and 4 mm skewers are useful for lighter items such as paneer, vegetables, shrimp, fish, and smaller pieces of meat.
6 mm skewers offer a versatile middle option that can work across a wide range of chicken, kebab, and vegetable preparations.
8 mm and 10 mm skewers provide additional rigidity for heavier ingredients such as chicken legs, larger portions of meat, and other substantial tandoor preparations.
The exact skewer a chef prefers will also depend on the recipe, cooking method, oven size, and personal technique. High-volume tandoor kitchens often keep several styles and thicknesses readily available so cooks can select the appropriate skewer for each dish.
Tandoor Skewers with Wooden Handles
Some skewers in our collection include wooden handles, providing chefs with a defined gripping point when handling the skewer outside the oven.
Our assortment includes both round and square skewer styles with wooden handles in different thicknesses. These options can be useful for restaurants that prefer a more traditional handled skewer design for repetitive tandoor service.
Because tandoor equipment becomes extremely hot during operation, commercial kitchens should always establish appropriate handling procedures and train staff on the safe use of tandoor tools.
Tandoor Skewers with Stoppers
For some foods, operators may prefer a skewer with a stopper positioned near the pointed end. The stopper can help prevent certain ingredients from sliding farther down the skewer during cooking.
Nishi carries round tandoor skewers with stopper designs for foods such as vegetables, corn, fish, paneer tikka, and other smaller ingredients.
Having different skewer configurations at the station allows the chef to choose equipment based on the food rather than trying to adapt every menu item to the same tool.
Naan Bread Removing Skewers & Tandoor Bread Tools
Cooking naan requires a very different tool from cooking kebabs. Naan, roti, and other tandoor breads are traditionally placed against the hot interior clay wall of the oven, which means the chef needs a safe way to release and remove the bread once it has cooked.
Our Bread Removing Skewers for Clay Tandoor Ovens are designed specifically for this job. The set includes tools used to loosen, lift, and retrieve naan and other breads from the clay wall.
These tools may also be known in restaurant kitchens as naan skewers, bread skewers, roti skewers, roti seekh, or jodi. They are a fundamental accessory for any restaurant producing fresh naan in a traditional clay tandoor.
Tandoor Replacement Parts
A commercial tandoor can remain in service for years, but certain components may eventually need attention or replacement. Keeping access to appropriate tandoor parts can reduce the disruption caused when a heavily used oven requires maintenance.
Nishi Enterprise carries several components for commercial tandoor ovens, including parts intended for Shaan and Shahi models. For a more focused selection, visit our Tandoor Replacement Parts collection.
Because tandoors vary by manufacturer and model, always confirm compatibility before ordering a replacement component. If you are unsure which part your oven requires, contact Nishi Enterprise with the tandoor brand, model, size, and details about the component being replaced.
Baffle Burner Plates for Shaan & Shahi Tandoors
The Baffle Burner Plate for Shaan & Shahi Tandoor Clay Ovens is one of the replacement components available through this collection.
This type of part belongs to the operating system of the oven rather than the cooking-tool side of the tandoor station. When replacing burner-related components, compatibility matters, so operators should make sure they are purchasing the appropriate part for their specific oven.
Lava Rocks for Tandoor Clay Ovens
Our Lava Rocks for Shaan & Shahi Tandoor Clay Ovens are another maintenance and operating accessory available for compatible tandoor models.
Lava rocks are used as part of the heat system in certain commercial tandoor ovens. Over time, an operator may need to replace or refresh these materials as part of maintaining the oven.
Before purchasing lava rocks or other internal tandoor components, confirm that the product is appropriate for your particular tandoor model.
Tandoor Clay Repair Mix
The clay interior is one of the defining features of a traditional tandoor. Because that clay is exposed to repeated heating and cooling cycles, small cracks or surface wear may develop over time.
Our Premium Clay Mix for Shaan Tandoor Clay Oven Repair is intended for maintaining and repairing compatible tandoor clay surfaces.
You can also visit our dedicated Tandoor Clay Mix collection when looking specifically for clay repair products.
Proper maintenance can help operators address smaller issues before they develop further. Always follow appropriate repair procedures and make sure the oven has cooled completely before carrying out maintenance work.
Tandoor Accessories for Indian Restaurants
An Indian restaurant with a working tandoor typically needs several sets of accessories around the oven. A chef may move quickly between naan, chicken tikka, paneer tikka, seekh kebab, tandoori chicken, vegetables, shrimp, fish, and other menu items throughout a single service.
Keeping the correct skewers and bread tools close to the oven helps the tandoor station work more efficiently. Instead of repeatedly cleaning and reusing one skewer style for unrelated dishes, a kitchen can maintain a dedicated selection suited to different products.
Restaurants building a broader traditional kitchen can also explore our Indian Cookware collection for additional cookware used across Indian restaurant menus.
Tandoor Accessories for Middle Eastern, Pakistani & Afghan Restaurants
Tandoor accessories are not limited to Indian cuisine. Long skewers and high-temperature clay oven cooking are also relevant to many Pakistani, Afghan, Persian, Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Mediterranean foodservice operations.
Flat skewers may be useful for koobideh and other ground meat kebabs, while heavier round or square skewers can support larger cuts of meat and chicken. Lighter skewers can be used for vegetables, seafood, and smaller kebab preparations.
This makes commercial tandoor accessories useful for a broad range of restaurants that cook proteins, vegetables, and breads over intense heat.
Setting Up a Commercial Tandoor Station
A complete tandoor station should be organized around the oven, the menu, and the tools the chef reaches for most frequently.
A typical operation may keep several thicknesses of round and square skewers, flat kebab skewers, bread-removing tools, heat-resistant handling equipment, and cleaning or maintenance supplies near the tandoor.
The exact setup will depend on the restaurant's menu. A naan-heavy restaurant may need multiple sets of bread-removal tools, while a kebab-focused operation may require larger quantities of several skewer sizes.
If you are still selecting your oven, browse our Tandoor Clay Ovens. For equipment beyond the tandoor station, our Commercial Cooking Equipment collection includes ranges, fryers, griddles, charbroilers, ovens, and other equipment used throughout restaurant kitchens.
Replacing Worn Tandoor Accessories
Commercial tandoor tools are exposed to high heat and frequent handling, particularly in restaurants where the oven operates throughout lunch and dinner service.
Operators should periodically inspect skewers and other accessories for excessive wear, deformation, loose handles, damage, or other conditions that may affect how the tool is used. Replacement parts should also be checked for compatibility with the oven before installation.
Keeping spare skewers and frequently needed accessories on hand can be useful for high-volume kitchens. A restaurant should not have to reduce its tandoor menu because one heavily used tool is temporarily unavailable.
Choosing Tandoor Accessories for Your Menu
Start with the food your restaurant prepares most frequently.
If your menu includes paneer tikka, vegetables, fish, or shrimp, consider lighter round skewers. Chicken and larger proteins may benefit from thicker round or square skewers. Seekh kebab and other ground-meat preparations may require a wider or flatter skewer that gives the mixture more surface area to hold onto.
If you serve naan, roti, or other breads from the tandoor, bread-removal skewers should be considered an essential part of the station rather than an optional accessory.
Finally, identify the brand and model of your tandoor before ordering replacement parts such as baffle plates, lava rocks, or other model-specific components.
