Tap & Tandoor

What is Tap & Tandoor? Anchoring a spirited stretch of Dundas Street West in The Junction, Tap & Tandoor is a British-Indian sports tavern founded by husband-and-wife duo Tarun and Noni Verma alongside kitchen lead Sanjay Singh. The space swaps formal white-tablecloth decor for a laid-back neighbourhood local outfitted with multiple television screens, sturdy pub high-tops, and draught-friendly booth seating. Centered around a high-heat clay oven, it operates as an energetic drinking den built for match days rather than hushed date nights.

Tap & Tandoor Menu & What to Order The kitchen combines traditional British pub sensibilities with subcontinental heat, starting with crowd-pleasing snacks like tandoori nachos and crispy Keralan-style fried chicken. Skewers emerging straight from the tandoor—such as spiced mutton seekh kebabs, piri piri Goan chicken, butter chicken chops, and charred paneer—deliver deep char and balanced marinades. For heartier pub dining, pair a pint of cold draught with a rich lamb rogan josh scooped up with blistered garlic naan.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly first-come, first-served with no reservations system, so plan to arrive early if you want a table with clear sightlines for televised football or cricket fixtures. Metered street parking lines Dundas West, while the 30 High Park and 40 Junction TTC buses drop steps away from the front door. Tap & Tandoor opens at 4:00 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and remains closed on Mondays.
