The secret to the tandoori prawns is the tandoor, a traditional earthen
clay pot heated with wood charcoal. The meats and seafood are marinated overnight
in a spiced herbed yogurt then baked in the tandoor on skewers, making them
incredibly tender. The prawns and meat are then served on a sizzling platter
with vegetables. Delivery available. Reservations recommended. Lunch Monday
through Friday, dinner daily, brunch Saturday and Sunday. Credit cards and checks.

For Indian cuisine in the suburbs, check out Peacock's lunch buffet, with a
menu of offerings that changes daily. If you choose an entree from the regular

cream sauce. Delivery available. Reservations recommended. Lunch and dinner

TANDOORI CHICKEN
115 University Place 299-1926
If you read this whole issue (we double-dare you!) you will not find another
restaurant that boasts a menu of more than 80 selections -- half of which are
vegetarian. Welcome to Tandoori Chicken, a friendly Indian restaurant in the
CBD. The management invites you to try the palak paneer, a spinach and cheese
vegetarian dish. Or, try the chicken tikka masala, a boneless chicken in spicy
cream tomato sauce. The lunch buffet is still $8.99. No reservations. Lunch
Monday through Saturday, dinner daily. Credit cards. $$
