Tandoor is a North Indian restaurant at Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre, established in 1985 and recognised as one of Singapore's most awarded North Indian restaurants. Each dish is handcrafted by a team of chefs using classic recipes and time-honoured methods drawn from India's culinary history, with some dishes prepared using healthier methods while retaining their traditional heritage.
The restaurant's interior is contemporary yet steeped in tradition, featuring back-lit Jaali (latticed screen) wall panels characteristic of Indian architecture and twin alabaster pillars showcasing the traditional Indian craft of inlay mirror work. For larger gatherings, corporate functions or special occasions, Tandoor offers the Maharajah Suite, a private dining room that can accommodate up to 80 guests, and the restaurant also hosts weddings, including pre-wedding rituals such as Mehndi, Sagaai and Sangeet ceremonies through to the reception itself.
Tandoor has been recognised with the Wine & Dine Top Restaurants Award, a listing on Singapore Tatler's Best Restaurant Guide, Honeycombers' Best Indian Restaurant 2025, and Sassy Mama's Best Indian Restaurant Guide 2024.
Tandoor has been serving North Indian cuisine at Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre since 1985, and over the decades it has built a reputation as one of Singapore's most awarded North Indian restaurants. Every dish on the menu is handcrafted by a team of chefs using classic recipes and time-honoured methods that trace back through India's culinary history, with some preparations adapted using healthier methods while still holding onto their original Indian heritage.
Step into Tandoor and the design does as much storytelling as the menu. The restaurant's interior is contemporary but laced with tradition — back-lit wall panels featuring Jaali, the latticed screens characteristic of Indian architecture, line two sides of the room, while twin alabaster pillars display the traditional Indian craft of inlay mirror work. It's a setting designed for a luxurious dining experience, whether guests are in for a quiet lunch or a special celebration.
Tandoor's reputation is backed by a string of accolades: the Wine & Dine Top Restaurants Award, a place on Singapore Tatler's Best Restaurant Guide, Honeycombers' Best Indian Restaurant for 2025, and Sassy Mama's Best Indian Restaurant Guide for 2024. That consistency across multiple years and publications reflects the restaurant's standing among Singapore's Indian dining scene.
For larger functions, Tandoor offers the Maharajah Suite, a plush private dining room that can accommodate up to 80 guests. It's built for corporate functions, business luncheons or special occasions that need a bit more space and privacy than the main dining room, while still delivering the same handcrafted North Indian menu.
Tandoor also plays host to full Indian weddings, from the intricacies of pre-wedding rituals like Mehndi, Sagaai and Sangeet ceremonies through to the much-anticipated wedding reception itself. It's a rare offering for a hotel restaurant — a space that can carry a couple through the full arc of their celebrations under one roof.
On Sundays, Tandoor runs a rotating Sunday Brunch Buffet that takes diners on a culinary journey through North India, from the aromatic spices associated with Mughlai heritage to the bold, hearty flavours of Punjab. It's designed as an accessible way to sample a wide range of the restaurant's cooking style in one sitting.
Tandoor is located on Basement 1 of Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre, and is open daily for both lunch, from 12pm to 2:30pm, and dinner, from 6pm to 10pm. Tables can be booked directly online, and the restaurant's à la carte menu is also available to view ahead of a visit.
