Skip to content A non veg restaurant franchise lets you open and run an outlet that focuses on meat-based dishes — like chicken, mutton, and barbecue — under an established brand’s recipes and support. Tandooriwala is a natural fit, because non-veg food is one of its biggest strengths: its tandoori chicken is the most popular dish on the menu, alongside kebabs, biryani, and barbecue starters. Founded by Master Chef Shajahan M Abdul (Chef Abdul), Tandooriwala started in 2013 and now runs 86 outlets and counting across India and abroad. As a franchise owner, you get a tested menu, trained staff, secret-spice supply, and marketing support. The brand also offers veg dishes, so you can serve a wider crowd while leading with non-veg. If you want a franchise built around crowd-favourite meat dishes, Tandooriwala is a strong choice.
Demand for non-veg food keeps rising across India, driven by higher incomes, growing interest in protein-rich meals, and a strong love of barbecue and grilled dishes. Chicken and meat dishes are among the most ordered items both at restaurants and on food-delivery apps, and biryani is one of the country’s top-selling foods overall. This steady, broad demand makes a non-veg-focused outlet a reliable draw. A brand that already specialises in tandoori and barbecue, like Tandooriwala, is well placed to ride this trend. For an entrepreneur, that strong, ongoing appetite for non-veg food lowers the risk of starting out.
Tandooriwala’s non-veg menu is built around its tandoor and grill. The signature dish is its whole tandoori chicken, the most sought-after item on the menu, joined by barbecue starters like chicken tikka and kebabs, plus rich biryanis such as chicken and mutton biryani. Because these dishes are cooked in the tandoor and on the grill, they carry a smoky, marinated flavour that keeps customers coming back. The brand also serves popular veg options, so a mixed group can all find something they enjoy — a real advantage over a meat-only outlet.

People searching for the best non veg restaurant franchise in India want a brand known for its meat dishes, plus strong support — and Tandooriwala delivers both. It is led by award-winning Master Chef Shajahan M Abdul and holds honours including the Food Connoisseurs India Award and Food & Hospitality Awards.

Tandooriwala lets you pick the model and format that fit your goals. You can choose a FOFO model (Franchise-Owned, Franchise-Operated), where you own and run the outlet yourself, or a FOCO model, where the company manages daily operations. Formats range from a compact outlet, a cloud kitchen, or a quick-service counter to a full dine-in restaurant, and you can add a shakes franchise line for beverages. A cloud kitchen suits non-veg food especially well, since grilled chicken, kebabs, and biryani are top choices for online delivery. Because cost varies by format and city, ask the franchise team for an exact, current figure for your plan.
