The good news? You don’t need to travel all the way to Delhi or Mumbai. You can start your journey right here, in Lisbon.
The Magic of Naan Bread
Soft, fluffy, and slightly charred from the tandoor oven, naan is a staple of Indian dining. It’s more than just bread — it’s the perfect companion to curries, kebabs, and dips. At Bengal Tandoori, guests can enjoy naan in many variations:
- Plain naan for a simple, classic touch.
- Garlic naan for extra flavour and aroma.
- Cheese naan — indulgent and perfect for sharing
In Lisbon, naan has quickly become a favourite because it appeals to everyone — crispy edges, soft inside, and endlessly versatile.
Biryani: India’s Crown Jewel of Rice Dishes
If naan is the perfect side, biryani is a show-stopping main course. This aromatic rice dish is layered with spices, saffron, and either chicken, lamb, or vegetables. At Bengal Tandoori, biryani is prepared traditionally, ensuring every grain of rice is infused with flavour.
What makes biryani special?
- It’s both comforting and festive.
- Each bite combines savoury spices with fragrant rice.
- It can be mild or bold, depending on your taste.
