How Much Does a Commercial Tandoor Cost?

A commercial tandoor from Nishi Enterprise currently costs between approximately $1,899 and $3,649, depending primarily on the size of the oven.

Nishi Enterprise carries five Shaan commercial gas clay tandoors:

• 26-inch Catering Tandoor: $1,899
• 28-inch Medium Tandoor: $2,859
• 30-inch Large Tandoor: $3,149
• 32-inch Extra Large Tandoor: $3,399
• 34-inch Jumbo Tandoor: $3,649

These prices reflect the current online prices at Nishi Enterprise as of September 2026 and may change over time.

The right tandoor is not necessarily the least expensive or the largest one available.

A restaurant should choose based on:

• Expected naan production
• Number of tandoori dishes on the menu
• Peak dinner volume
• Available kitchen space
• Catering requirements
• Whether the tandoor will be used continuously throughout service

This guide explains how much each commercial tandoor sold by Nishi Enterprise costs, what you receive at each size, and how to decide which Shaan tandoor makes sense for your restaurant.

Commercial Tandoor Price Comparison

You can compare all five models in the Shaan Tandoor Collection.

How Much Is the 26-Inch Shaan Catering Tandoor?

The 26-Inch Shaan Catering Tandoor currently costs $1,899.

It is the least expensive Shaan tandoor currently offered by Nishi Enterprise.

The Catering model measures approximately:

26 inches wide × 31 inches deep × 33 inches high

and weighs approximately:

200 pounds.

It uses a 44,000 BTU gas burner.

Who Is the 26-Inch Tandoor Best For?

This model can work well for:

• Catering companies
• Smaller restaurants
• Lower-volume tandoor stations
• Operations where mobility matters
• Restaurants where tandoori cooking is only part of the menu

Why Is the 26-Inch Model Less Expensive?

The Catering model has a smaller cooking body and significantly lower weight than the larger restaurant models.

It is designed for operations that do not need the interior capacity of a 30, 32, or 34-inch tandoor.

For a caterer or smaller restaurant, paying for a larger oven may not make sense if the additional capacity will rarely be used.

How Much Is the 28-Inch Shaan Tandoor?

The 28-Inch Shaan Medium Tandoor currently costs $2,859.

It measures approximately:

28 inches wide × 30 inches deep × 35 inches high

and weighs approximately:

450 pounds.

It uses a 44,000 BTU burner.

Who Is the 28-Inch Tandoor Best For?

The Medium model can work well for:

• New Indian restaurants
• Small to mid-size restaurants
• Restaurants with regular naan production
• Kitchens that want restaurant capacity without moving to a larger footprint

26-Inch vs. 28-Inch Tandoor Cost

The current price difference between the two models is:

$960.

That is one of the largest price jumps in the current Shaan lineup.

The decision should therefore depend on whether the restaurant actually needs the additional size and restaurant-oriented capacity of the 28-inch model.

A catering business focused on portability may prefer the 26-inch unit.

A permanent restaurant expecting consistent tandoor use may find the 28-inch model better suited to daily production.

How Much Is the 30-Inch Shaan Commercial Tandoor?

The 30-Inch Shaan Commercial Tandoor currently costs $3,149.

The 30-inch model is positioned as a restaurant-grade tandoor for full-service and high-volume foodservice use.

Who Is the 30-Inch Tandoor Best For?

It is a strong option for restaurants regularly producing:

• Naan
• Garlic naan
• Tandoori chicken
• Chicken tikka
• Seekh kebabs
• Paneer tikka
• Fish tikka

For many full-service Indian restaurants, the 30-inch size provides a balance between cooking capacity and kitchen footprint.

28-Inch vs. 30-Inch Tandoor Cost

The current difference between the 28-inch and 30-inch models is only:

$290.

This is an important consideration for restaurant operators.

If a restaurant already expects consistent lunch and dinner tandoor production, the relatively small difference in purchase price may make the larger 30-inch model worth considering.

However, the final decision should still account for:

• Available floor space
• Ventilation
• Production volume
• Kitchen layout

How Much Is the 32-Inch Shaan Tandoor?

The 32-Inch Shaan Extra Large Commercial Tandoor currently costs $3,399.

This model is designed for higher-volume restaurant kitchens.

Who Is the 32-Inch Tandoor Best For?

It may make sense for:

• Busy Indian restaurants
• Banquet kitchens
• Restaurants with large takeout volume
• Operations with significant tandoori menus
• Restaurants with heavy weekend traffic

30-Inch vs. 32-Inch Tandoor Cost

The current price difference is:

$250.

For a restaurant already spending more than $3,000 on a commercial tandoor, the decision between these two models may depend more on capacity and kitchen space than the purchase-price difference.

If the 30-inch unit is likely to become a bottleneck during peak service, an additional $250 for the 32-inch model may provide useful extra capacity.

On the other hand, if the kitchen is tight on space, purchasing a larger tandoor simply because the price difference is small may not make sense.

How Much Is the 34-Inch Shaan Jumbo Tandoor?

The 34-Inch Shaan Jumbo Tandoor currently costs $3,649.

It is the largest and most expensive Shaan tandoor currently sold by Nishi Enterprise.

Its approximate dimensions are:

34 inches wide × 39 inches deep × 35 inches high

and it weighs approximately:

500 pounds.

The Jumbo uses a 45,000 BTU burner.

Who Is the 34-Inch Jumbo Best For?

The largest model can be appropriate for:

• Large Indian restaurants
• Banquet halls
• High-volume caterers
• Commissary kitchens
• Restaurants where the tandoor is one of the main production stations

32-Inch vs. 34-Inch Tandoor Cost

The price difference between the 32-inch XL and 34-inch Jumbo is currently:

$250.

Again, the price difference is relatively small compared with the total purchase.

The more important question is whether your restaurant needs the additional size.

How Much More Does the Largest Tandoor Cost Than the Smallest?

The 26-inch Catering model is currently $1,899.

The 34-inch Jumbo is currently $3,649.

That means the difference between the smallest and largest Shaan tandoor is:

$1,750.

But these two models are intended for very different operations.

The Catering model emphasizes compact size and mobility.

The Jumbo emphasizes maximum commercial cooking capacity.

Why Does Commercial Tandoor Size Affect Price?

As the Shaan tandoors increase in size, the oven also requires:

• A larger stainless steel body
• A larger clay cooking chamber
• More insulation
• A larger overall footprint
• Greater structural weight

The larger sizes are designed for restaurants that need more cooking room during high-volume service.

What Is Included With a Shaan Commercial Tandoor?

A tandoor purchase is more than just the outer stainless steel cabinet.

The Shaan tandoors sold by Nishi Enterprise include a handcrafted clay cooking chamber inside the stainless steel exterior.

Current product listings also include accessories such as:

• Bread and naan skewers
• Assorted BBQ skewers
• Naan bread pad
• Stainless steel mouth cover
• Maintenance clay

This means a new restaurant does not necessarily need to purchase every basic tandoor tool separately just to begin using the oven.

Are Tandoor Skewers Included?

Current Shaan listings include:

• 2 bread or naan skewers
• 12 assorted BBQ skewers

Busy restaurants may still want additional skewers.

Nishi Enterprise carries additional Tandoor Accessories and Parts for restaurants that need more tools or replacement components.

Is a Naan Gaddi Included?

Current Shaan tandoor listings include a naan bread pad.

A gaddi is used to support naan dough while the cook places it onto the hot clay wall.

High-volume restaurants may still want multiple bread pads so backups are available during cleaning or replacement.

Does a Commercial Tandoor Include a Gas Safety System?

The Shaan gas tandoors listed by Nishi Enterprise include a gas safety system with components such as:

• Thermocouple
• Pilot igniter

The exact product specifications should always be checked on the individual product listing before purchase.

What Is the Clay Pot Made From?

The Shaan tandoors use a handcrafted clay pot inside the stainless steel casing.

The clay chamber is a major part of what separates a traditional commercial tandoor from a conventional metal oven.

The clay absorbs and radiates intense heat around the food.

That allows restaurants to prepare:

• Naan
• Tandoori chicken
• Kebabs
• Paneer
• Fish
• Vegetables

Does the Tandoor Price Include Installation?

The online product price should not be confused with the total installed project cost.

Restaurant operators may also need to account for:

• Freight or delivery
• Gas installation
• Ventilation
• Hood requirements
• Local code requirements

The Shaan product listings note that the tandoors should be installed under an appropriate exhaust hood according to applicable national and local codes.

Does Shipping Cost Extra?

The online purchase price does not necessarily represent the final delivered price.

These tandoors are heavy pieces of commercial equipment and are shipped using freight carriers rather than ordinary parcel services.

Shipping charges can vary depending on:

• Tandoor size
• Destination
• Freight requirements

Restaurants should confirm freight costs when calculating their complete equipment budget.

Should You Buy a Tandoor Based Only on Price?

No.

The purchase price matters, but buying the wrong size can cost more in the long run.

A tandoor that is too small may create:

• Long ticket times
• Naan bottlenecks
• Limited skewer capacity
• Difficulty handling busy weekends

A tandoor that is unnecessarily large can:

• Take up valuable kitchen space
• Make the line harder to design
• Provide capacity that the restaurant rarely uses

Which Tandoor Gives the Best Value?

There is no single best-value model for every restaurant.

The best value is the tandoor that provides enough capacity for your operation without purchasing unnecessary size.

26-Inch Catering

Best suited to restaurants or caterers prioritizing compact size and mobility.

28-Inch Medium

A practical step into a larger permanent restaurant tandoor.

30-Inch Large

A strong choice for many full-service Indian restaurants with consistent naan and tandoori production.

32-Inch Extra Large

Designed for busier operations that need more cooking space.

34-Inch Jumbo

Designed for operations where tandoor cooking is a major part of high-volume production.

How Do You Know What Size Tandoor You Need?

Before deciding based on price, ask:

1. How many naan do we expect to sell during our busiest hour?
2. How many tandoori proteins will be cooked at the same time?
3. Will we offer catering?
4. How large is the restaurant?
5. How much kitchen space is available?
6. Will the tandoor run continuously during dinner service?

What Is the Cheapest Commercial Tandoor at Nishi Enterprise?

The least expensive current Shaan model is the 26-Inch Catering Tandoor at $1,899.

It is designed for smaller operations, catering, and applications where mobility is particularly useful.

What Is the Most Expensive Commercial Tandoor at Nishi Enterprise?

The most expensive Shaan model currently offered is the 34-Inch Jumbo Tandoor at $3,649.

It is designed for the highest-volume operations in the lineup.

How Much Does a Tandoor for a Small Restaurant Cost?

A smaller restaurant might consider:

• 26-Inch Catering: $1,899
• 28-Inch Medium: $2,859

The correct choice depends on production rather than restaurant size alone.

A small restaurant with extremely strong naan sales could still need a larger model.

How Much Does a Tandoor for a Full-Service Indian Restaurant Cost?

The current 30-inch Shaan commercial tandoor costs $3,149.

This size can be a strong starting point for full-service Indian restaurants with regular:

• Naan production
• Kebab orders
• Tandoori chicken
• Chicken tikka
• Paneer tikka

How Much Does a High-Volume Restaurant Tandoor Cost?

Restaurants requiring additional capacity can consider:

• 32-Inch Extra Large: $3,399
• 34-Inch Jumbo: $3,649

These models are designed for operations with larger tandoor workloads.

How Much Does a Tandoor for Catering Cost?

The 26-inch Shaan Catering Tandoor is currently priced at $1,899.

Its smaller footprint and 200-pound weight make it substantially lighter than the larger restaurant models.

It can be useful for:

• Catering events
• Live naan stations
• Outdoor cooking
• Smaller production setups

Should a Caterer Buy a Larger Tandoor?

Possibly.

A caterer serving very large weddings or events may need more capacity than the Catering model provides.

The decision should be based on:

• Guest counts
• Naan volume
• Number of tandoori appetizers
• Transportation requirements

Should You Buy One Jumbo Tandoor or Two Smaller Tandoors?

This depends on the kitchen.

Two tandoors can allow an operation to separate:

Tandoor 1

• Naan
• Garlic naan
• Roti

Tandoor 2

• Chicken tikka
• Kebabs
• Fish
• Paneer

That can improve workflow in a very busy restaurant.

However, two tandoors require more:

• Floor space
• Gas capacity
• Ventilation space
• Upfront equipment cost

What Foods Can You Make With a Commercial Tandoor?

All five Shaan tandoor sizes can be used for traditional tandoor applications such as:

• Naan
• Garlic naan
• Tandoori roti
• Chicken tikka
• Tandoori chicken
• Seekh kebabs
• Paneer tikka
• Fish
• Shrimp
• Vegetables

The primary difference between models is how much cooking capacity they provide.

Is a More Expensive Tandoor Better?

Not automatically.

The larger models cost more because they provide more physical capacity.

If a restaurant does not need that capacity, the more expensive model may not provide additional practical value.

Choose based on production requirements rather than assuming the highest-priced model is always the best choice.

Why Buy the Right Size the First Time?

A commercial tandoor can become one of the busiest cooking stations in an Indian restaurant.

If naan and tandoori dishes become popular, an undersized oven can create problems during:

• Friday nights
• Weekend dinner service
• Holiday service
• Catering orders

Think about future volume as well as current sales when choosing a model.

Because the price difference between some of the larger models is only $250 to $290, restaurants should carefully consider future volume before finalizing a size.

You can compare current prices and specifications for all five models in the Shaan Tandoor Collection at Nishi Enterprise.

The right commercial tandoor is the one that fits your kitchen, your menu, and your busiest service, not simply the one with the lowest or highest price.
