One Dish at a Time

Tandoori Fusion was born out of a desire by Purna Veer, our founder, to bring the dishes of his home country, India, to his home of Louis- ville, Kentucky – with a little modern flare. We believe in a farm-to-table philosophy – with some of our fruits and vegetables coming straight from Purna’s farm, Veering Creek.

Simply put, we believe people should be able to eat well, eat local, and enjoy new flavors as well as familiar ones.

Situated on 90 acres of beautiful, rolling blue- grass, Veering Creek Farm is the home to the largest hops yard in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Our five-acre hops yard is currently growing over 5,000 hops plants and our vine- yard boasts over 5,000 vines. The vegetable gar- den and hoop houses provide fresh vegetables to Tandoori Fusion year-round, ensuring your dishes contain authentic, fresh, Indian vegeta- bles, fruits, and herbs.
