What we’re about

I remember distinctly the first time I tried Indian food. I was a chaplain in the harbour of Montreal and in the evenings I drove out to the ships to give a ride to the sailors downtown. One night while I waited, the cook of a ship from India called be to the kitchen and said, "Heh, you want to try some Indian food?" I said, "Sure, sounds great!" I remember the chapatis the biryani rice the creamy, spicy sauce with the chicken. This was a revelation! I'd never tasted such intense and yet warm and inviting flavors! Even though the cook did tell me the spice level of the dish he made for me was at the level for a sick person in India!

This group is all about savoring Indian food. We will be visiting Indian restaurants and enjoying them together. Though there is no cuisine I enjoy more on the planet, and though I enjoy cooking Indian food I still consider myself a novice. If you love Indian food and you live in Chicagoland please consider joining us!

Influenced by their rich cultural heritage and driven
by their collective passion for the culinary arts, brothers Fahim and Faraz Sardharia present to you Tandoor Char House.

Fahim and Faraz’s Indian father and Pakistani mother were famous amongst their friends for their delicious dinners and generous natures. Only their mother was able to meet and exceed their father’s high culinary standards through the use of the best ingredients and the implementation of the most ancient of techniques. Amazed and inspired by the deliciously sumptuous stews simmering in their mother’s Karhai, and their father’s rare and delectably deep marination of Halal meats charred to perfection according to tradition, Fahim and Faraz breathed life into Tandoor Char House. Curious and mesmerized by the style and precision of their parents’ cooking, the Sardharia Brothers devoted many years in the kitchen perfecting this collection of recipes and developing new ones of their very own.
