A family name Horsham has trusted since 2012.

Horsham Tandoori brings the experience of fine Indian dining to your table at home. Horsham Tandoori was the first Indian takeaway to open its doors in Horsham. Set in the heart of Horsham, ours was the first takeaway of its kind in the town, and it has remained under the careful stewardship of the Moktadir family since 2012, a name our community has come to know and trust.

Every dish is made to order by our owner and head chef, Shah, whose forty years at the tandoor mean bold flavour and hand-picked ingredients in every plate.

It's an approach that earned us Best Indian Takeaway in West Sussex 2025, a recognition we aim to keep earning with every order.

A NEW CHAPTER

CHAI HAUS

Cafe by Day, Takeaway by Night

Our passion for food and hospitality now extends beyond the tandoor.

Chai Haus is our contemporary Indian-fusion café, and the natural next step in the family’s journey. By day, the space is Chai Haus: a calm spot for slow-brewed artisan chai, gently simmered in small batches with whole spices, alongside specialty coffee, ceremonial matcha, and a curated menu of café classics reimagined with a twist. By night, the same room becomes Horsham Tandoori, serving the food our community has loved for years.

Café by day, takeaway by night. Minimal, premium, and rooted in tradition.
