Tap and Tandoor is no stranger to big flavours - and if you’ve visited either of their Portsmouth or Southampton locations, you’ll know the grill is where the magic happens. Among the highlights is the Mixed Grill, a dish that’s become a firm favourite for locals, visitors, and anyone craving something smoky, satisfying, and full of spice.
Whether you’re unwinding after a day by Portsmouth’s marina or recharging post-shopping at Westquay in Southampton, this dish fits the bill perfectly.
What’s in the Mixed Grill?
It’s bold, it’s balanced, and it’s made to share (or not - no judgement). The Mixed Grill features:
● 2 pieces of Haryali Chicken Tikka
● Lamb Chops
● Chicken Wings
● Seekh Kebab
● Chicken Tikka
● Fresh House Salad
All cooked over an open flame in the traditional tandoor, this dish brings together a variety of textures and tastes - smoky, juicy, and spiced just right. It’s a feast that feels indulgent, but never too heavy - ideal for summer weather.
Plant-Based Options? Absolutely.
You don’t have to be a meat lover to enjoy Tap and Tandoor’s grill menu. The Vegetarian Platter and Vegan Mixed Grill both carry that same open-flame flavour and generous variety:
Vegetarian Platter
● Vegetable Kebabs
● Soya Tikka
● Paneer Tikka
Vegan Mixed Grill
● Soya Tikka
● Aloo Tikka
● Samosa
● Vegetable Kebab
● Mixed Peppers
These platters are just as carefully cooked as their meaty counterpart, keeping things fresh, satisfying, and full of smoky depth.
Grilled, Not Greasy
What sets these dishes apart is how they’re cooked. High-heat grilling over charcoal means no heavy sauces or excess oil, just clean, charred flavour and tender bites. It's a lighter alternative to curries - great for sunny afternoons, casual dinners, or weekend indulgence that doesn’t leave you feeling weighed down.
They pair beautifully with naan bread, a cooling side of raita, and a drink from the bar - be it a craft beer, chilled cider, or one of Tap and Tandoor’s signature cocktails.
