Indian restaurant equipment setup

Twenty-nine positions across seven zones — a gas tandoor and high-pressure burners under heavy extraction, rice and stock, a full prep section, the cold chain, warewashing, delivery packaging, POS and the signage out front. Every line is a catalog item you can open, read and price.

An Indian kitchen, built around the tandoor and the burners either side of it. The format lives on two heat sources doing different jobs at the same time — the clay oven for bread and skewers, high-pressure burners for the gravies — and everything else on this page exists to feed those two.

Quantities assume a 70-seat room with a delivery channel. Send your menu and floor plan and we adjust the counts before quoting.

Tandoor & curry line

The two heat sources the format is built on. Bread and skewers come out of the clay; the gravies come off burners that can actually hold a rolling temperature under a heavy karahi.

Rice, stock & holding

The parts of the menu cooked in volume and held, not fired to order.

1 must-have · 3 recommended

Prep

Where the day actually starts. An Indian kitchen prepares more before service than it cooks during it.

1 must-have · 3 recommended · 1 optional

Cold storage

Marinated protein takes more cold space here than the covers suggest.

2 must-have · 1 optional

Warewashing

Karahi and tandoor skewers are the hardest wash in any restaurant kitchen.

3 must-have · 1 optional

Floor, POS & delivery

Half of this format leaves the building. The packaging is part of the equipment list, not an afterthought.

1 must-have · 3 recommended · 1 optional

Signage & advertising

What the street sees before anyone reads a menu. Signage is the last thing installed and the first thing a guest reads, so it belongs in the build list, not in the "later" pile.

The tableware is yours to choose

Thali, karahi serving dishes, rice bowls and the cutlery that goes with them — the forms depend on whether the room plates individually or serves to share. We stock them; tell us how you serve and we price them with the order.
