Commercial Tandoori Ovens – Which Size Shaan Model Is Right for Your Kitchen?

Trying to add tandoori cooking to your menu? A standard oven won’t get you there.

The heat, speed and finish are completely different — and that’s exactly why kitchens still invest in a dedicated tandoor. Once it’s up to temperature, it changes how quickly you can cook and what you can put on the menu.

The real question isn’t whether you need one — it’s which size will actually work during service.

Why choose a gas tandoori oven?

Most commercial kitchens now opt for gas over traditional charcoal for one reason — control.

• Faster heat-up
• Easier temperature management
• More consistent results during service
• Better suited to indoor kitchens

You still get the same cooking style, just without the downtime or unpredictability.

The Shaan Tandoori Oven Range

We recommend the Shaan range because it does what most kitchens need — holds heat well, performs consistently, and doesn’t overcomplicate things.

All models are available in Natural Gas or LPG, giving you flexibility depending on your kitchen or mobile setup.

The key difference between the models is capacity and output — and getting that right matters once service starts.

Small – 660mm

How to choose the right size

It comes down to how the oven will be used during service — not just how it fits in the kitchen.

• Adding a few dishes → Small or Medium
• Regular demand → Medium
• Core menu item / busy service → Medium or Large

If you get this wrong, you feel it immediately when orders start stacking up.

Final word

It’s a different way of cooking — faster, hotter, and better suited to service.

If you’re investing in a tandoor, getting the size right from the start makes all the difference once service begins. Not sure which model suits your kitchen? Contact us — we’ll help you choose the right fit. All models are available with Fast Free UK Mainland Delivery.
