Welcome to Tanatan, where the symphony of Indian spices creates an explosion of flavors, and every bite tells a story. Named after the Hindi word “Tanatan”—the resonant sound of a ringing bell—our restaurant embodies vibrancy, authenticity, and a deep-rooted passion for Indian cuisine.

Situated in the heart of Reading, Tanatan is more than just a restaurant; it’s a journey through the diverse landscapes of India, where age-old traditions meet modern culinary artistry.

At Tanatan, we believe that dining should be more than just a meal—it should be an experience. Our menu is a celebration of heritage flavors, carefully crafted by our team of innovative chefs who blend tradition with contemporary flair.

We have reimagined these classics with a bold, modern twist, elevating their flavors while preserving their deep cultural essence. Our dishes are crafted with handpicked spices, slow-cooked gravies, and time-honored cooking techniques, ensuring every bite is infused with authenticity. But our passion goes beyond just nostalgia. We push the boundaries of Indian cuisine, introducing new-age dishes that surprise and delight, catering to both purists and adventurous food lovers alike. From innovative small plates to gourmet street food, our creations will take your taste buds on an unforgettable journey.
