Bombay Cafe
Southern Utah's first Indian restaurant, family-owned since 2011 and serving halal Indian and Pakistani cooking from a storefront on Tabernacle Street.
Curries, biryani and tandoor-cooked breads and meats make up the core of the menu, the tandoor being a clay oven fired hot enough to cook bread against its wall in seconds. Tabernacle Street runs a block off Main through the oldest part of the city, among its small independent businesses.
Context
A tandoor is a clay oven fired hot enough that bread slapped against its inner wall cooks in under a minute and meat on a skewer chars on the outside while staying rare within. Very few kitchens in southern Utah run one, because it is a permanent installation rather than a piece of equipment that can be wheeled out. Halal describes meat slaughtered and handled according to Islamic law; kitchens serving a mixed Indian and Pakistani menu commonly cook halal throughout rather than maintaining two supply chains.
