Shaan Tandoor Ovens

Shaan Commercial Tandoor Ovens

Shaan Tandoor is the tandoor brand Nishi Enterprise has built its business around. Manufactured in the United Kingdom by Tandoori Oven Ltd, Shaan ovens combine traditional clay tandoor cooking with the construction, safety systems, and certifications required for professional restaurant kitchens.

Nishi Enterprise Inc. is the authorized distributor of Shaan Tandoor ovens for the United States and Canada. Our lineup includes five commercial sizes, ranging from a mobile catering tandoor to a 34-inch oven designed for demanding banquet and high-volume restaurant service.

Choose the Right Shaan Tandoor Size

Every restaurant operates differently, which is why Shaan offers several commercial tandoor sizes for different kitchen layouts and production needs.

• Shaan Catering Tandoor - A mobile, compact tandoor built for catering events, smaller kitchens, and operations that need flexibility.
• Shaan 28-Inch Tandoor - A compact commercial tandoor for smaller cooklines or as a second oven dedicated to naan and other breads.
• Shaan 30-Inch Tandoor - An excellent choice when space is limited and a 32-inch tandoor will not comfortably fit the kitchen layout.
• Shaan 32-Inch Tandoor - Our most popular Shaan model and a strong all-around choice for busy restaurants handling both breads and skewered proteins throughout service.
• Shaan 34-Inch Tandoor - Built for banquet halls, high-volume restaurants, catering operations, and kitchens where breads and skewers are being cooked continuously.

Not Just for Indian Restaurants

While tandoors are strongly associated with Indian cuisine, a commercial clay tandoor can be a valuable high-heat cooking tool for many different restaurant concepts. Shaan tandoors can be used by Indian, Pakistani, Afghan, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Central Asian, fusion, catering, and banquet operations.

The intense radiant heat of the clay makes a tandoor especially useful for restaurants preparing flatbreads, skewered meats, chicken, lamb, seafood, vegetables, and other foods that benefit from fast cooking at very high temperatures.

Depending on the menu, restaurants can use a Shaan tandoor for dishes and applications such as:

• Naan, roti, and other clay-oven flatbreads
• Middle Eastern and Mediterranean-style flatbreads
• Chicken, lamb, beef, seafood, and vegetable skewers
• Kebabs and grilled meats
• Tandoori chicken and chicken tikka
• Seekh kebabs
• Paneer and roasted vegetables
• High-heat roasting and charring
• Fusion dishes that benefit from traditional clay-oven cooking

For Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants in particular, a tandoor can complement a menu built around flatbreads, kebabs, grilled proteins, roasted vegetables, and other high-heat specialties. It gives chefs another way to produce the char, browning, and fast cooking associated with live-fire and clay-oven cooking.

What Makes a Shaan Tandoor Different?

The heart of every Shaan tandoor is its 2-inch stone clay body. Unlike a conventional oven, the burner is primarily responsible for heating the clay. The heated clay then stores and radiates that energy back into the cooking chamber.

That makes clay thickness, insulation, and construction extremely important during a busy restaurant service. Shaan commercial tandoors are built with:

• 2-inch stone clay body
• Triple-layer insulation
• Hardened inner clay surface
• Metal reinforcement rings
• Stainless steel exterior construction
• Gas safety system with thermocouple and pilot ignition
• Heavy-duty 4-inch swivel casters

The result is a commercial clay tandoor designed to maintain intense heat throughout restaurant service while giving chefs the flexibility to cook breads, skewers, proteins, vegetables, and a wide range of traditional and contemporary dishes.

ETL Certified Commercial Tandoor Ovens

Certification matters when installing a gas tandoor in a commercial restaurant. For many years, imported tandoors entered the North American market without recognized gas safety or sanitation listings, leaving restaurant owners to discover compliance problems during inspection or installation.

In January 2009, Shaan became the first tandoor oven to obtain both ETL gas safety and ETL Sanitation certification. Shaan listings include the ETL Listed Mark to ANSI Z83.11 and cETL Listed Mark to CAN/CSA-1.8 for gas safety, along with the ETL Sanitation Listed Mark to NSF/ANSI 4.

The certifications can be searched through Intertek's Directory of Listed Products under Tandoori Oven Ltd or Nishi Enterprise Inc.

Tandoor Replacement Parts and Accessories

Buying a commercial tandoor should also mean knowing where you can get parts years later. Nishi Enterprise stocks Shaan wear parts and maintenance supplies at our South Plainfield, New Jersey showroom and warehouse.

Our Tandoor Parts collection includes items such as baffle burner plates, safety valves, thermocouples, pilot assemblies, lava rocks, and repair clay.

You can also shop our complete Tandoor Accessories collection for BBQ skewers, naan bread removing skewers, bread tools, maintenance supplies, and other equipment for building a complete tandoor station.

Tandoors for Home Use

Although Shaan tandoors are built for commercial use, many customers also purchase tandoors for home kitchens, outdoor cooking areas, backyards, and private entertaining. The right setup depends on available space, ventilation, fuel requirements, cooking volume, and how you plan to use the oven.

If you are considering a tandoor for home use, contact Nishi Enterprise before ordering. Our team can help you understand the available sizes and determine which option best fits your specific needs.

Not Sure Which Shaan Tandoor to Buy?

The right tandoor depends on your restaurant volume, available floor space, hood configuration, gas supply, menu, and the amount of bread, skewered food, and other products you expect to produce during peak service.

Whether you operate an Indian restaurant, Pakistani restaurant, Middle Eastern restaurant, Mediterranean concept, banquet hall, catering company, or are looking for a tandoor for home use, our team can help you determine which Shaan model makes the most sense for your application.

If you are unsure which size fits your kitchen or cooking setup, contact Nishi Enterprise before ordering. Our team can help you compare the Catering, 28-inch, 30-inch, 32-inch, and 34-inch Shaan tandoors.
