Quick info
About Tap & Tandoor
Tap & Tandoor is an Indian gastropub set inside Southampton's West Quay Shopping Centre, combining the format of a pub with a kitchen built around tandoor cooking and Indian grill dishes. The space also operates as a sports bar, with screens carrying live fixtures alongside the drinks list, and dogs are welcome inside. The format suits both casual drop-ins for a match and sit-down meals, and the menu covers sizzler plates alongside the broader Indian range. A bar runs through the room for those coming in just for a drink, and the team runs the floor across the bar and dining areas. Given its location within a major shopping centre, the gastropub draws a mixed crowd throughout the day, from shoppers stopping in between stores to groups meeting up for evening fixtures.
