New pre-marinated range introduces authentic Indian fire-cooking flavours to summer grilling
Launching exclusively in Waitrose from 6th May
A bold new take on the classic British barbecue
This summer, Gymkhana Fine Foods is transforming the British barbecue experience.
While many barbecues across the UK still rely on the same familiar flavours and dishes, Gymkhana Fine Foods is introducing something more exciting — a premium collection inspired by India’s centuries-old tradition of cooking over fire.
Launching exclusively in Waitrose on 6th May, the new Tandoor Experience range brings the rich flavours and expertise of Gymkhana’s two Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant into homes across the country.
A New Way to Barbecue
Barbecuing in Britain has changed little over the years. The same marinades, the same recipes, and often the same predictable results. Indian cuisine, however, has always celebrated cooking with fire — from smoky tandoors to open grills — creating layers of flavour through spice, heat and smoke.
Now, Gymkhana Fine Foods is bringing those authentic flavours to gardens and kitchens nationwide, helping home cooks elevate their summer grilling with minimal effort.
Restaurant-Quality Flavour Made Simple
Every product in the Tandoor Experience range is pre-marinated using the same flavour principles found in Gymkhana’s restaurant kitchen: depth, balance and bold seasoning.
The result is simple — restaurant-quality Indian dishes that are easy to cook and ready for the barbecue or oven in minutes.

Gymkhana Fine Foods was created with a simple philosophy: bringing people together over exceptional food without the stress or complexity of restaurant cooking.
Gulrez Arora, co-founder of Gymkhana Fine Foods, said:
“Barbecuing is such a big part of the British summer, so we wanted to introduce the incredible flavours of the tandoor to the grill at home. Cooking over fire sits at the heart of Indian cuisine and plays a huge role in our restaurants, creating depth through smoke, spice and careful preparation.
“This new range is designed to make those flavours accessible and easy to enjoy at home. It’s simple to cook, full of character, and a great way for people to try something different on the barbecue this summer.”
Laura Tudor, Branded Innovation Manager at Waitrose, added:
“We’re thrilled to be the exclusive retailer for Gymkhana Fine Foods’ Tandoor Experience range, bringing one of London’s most iconic dining experiences into customers’ homes. The collection answers growing demand for restaurant-quality meals that are easy to prepare, offering food lovers an elevated Indian-inspired barbecue experience with minimal effort.”
