Tartan Tandoori

Tartan Tandoori is the longest-trading of the three Indian takeaways on Cheviot Crescent, the central road through Fintry, the post-war housing scheme on the north-eastern edge of Dundee. The shop has held its place on the Cheviot parade for many years and runs an unusually broad menu for an Indian — alongside the full curry, biryani and tandoori sections it operates a sizeable pizza counter and a kebab range, which lets it cover the entire takeaway trade of the scheme rather than competing on curry alone. Vegetarian options are properly built out rather than tucked into one box on the menu. Delivery is the dominant trade — the kitchen quotes around forty-five minutes for door-to-door and roughly twenty-five for collection — and covers Fintry, Mill o'Mains, Whitfield, the lower Forfar Road and the Drumgeith and Linlathen housing east of the scheme. The shop opens from mid-afternoon through to midnight and runs the standard online channels alongside its own ordering site, with consistent if unspectacular ratings on the delivery platforms.
