The Tandoory Taco franchise has started to expand since opening its first restaurant in The Woodlands in July.
Owners Alex Nagal and Kathiravan Athimoolam opened a new location for their "Indian flavor meets the taco world" restaurant in Frisco in March, The Woodlands manager Shawn Johnson said.
The restaurant cooks its food using a Tandoor, a vertical oven often used in some Asian countries.
"A lot of the food is marinated in yogurt, and a lot of spices of course, then it is put on long kabobs and they are cooked in that Tandoori, which is a vertical clay oven," Johnson said. "The naan bread—they pound it and they put it on the wall, so that's why it comes out in an oblong shape. It gives it a good flavor; it's a good cooking method."
