Best Kebabs from an Indian Takeaway in Burnley

Tara Takeaway · 13 Rosegrove Lane, Burnley · July 2026

When you search for kebabs in Burnley, you'll find plenty of dedicated kebab shops. But there's a reason more and more people are ordering their kebabs from an Indian takeaway — and at Tara Takeaway, every kebab is made fresh from marinated, grilled meat, not the rotating spit you'll find elsewhere.

Why Indian Takeaway Kebabs Are Different

Most high-street kebab shops in Burnley serve doner kebab — pressed, pre-formed meat sliced from a rotating spit. It does the job at midnight, but it's a world away from a proper tandoori kebab.

At Tara, every kebab starts with fresh meat that's been marinated in spices and yoghurt, then grilled to order in the tandoor. You taste the difference in every bite — no grease, no mystery meat, just proper chargrilled flavour.

Tara's Kebab Menu

All our kebab sandwiches are served on fresh plain naan bread with salad and sauce. They're a meal in themselves.

Chicken Tikka Kebab Sandwich — £7.00

Chunks of chicken breast marinated in tikka spices and chargrilled until slightly charred on the edges. Our most popular kebab order — and the one locals keep coming back for. It's fast food in Burnley that's actually cooked fresh.

Lamb Tikka Kebab Sandwich — £7.00

Tender pieces of lamb marinated the same way as our chicken tikka. A little richer, a little more flavour — perfect if you want something with more depth.

Seekh Kebab Sandwich — £7.00

Spiced minced meat shaped around a skewer and grilled in the tandoor. The traditional South Asian kebab — aromatic, juicy and packed with cumin and coriander.

Mixed Kebab Sandwich — £8.00

Can't choose? The mixed kebab gives you chicken tikka, lamb tikka and seekh kebab all in one naan. It's the best-value way to try everything.

Peri-Peri Chicken Tikka Kebab — £7.50

The same chargrilled chicken tikka, finished with a peri-peri sauce that adds a tangy, medium heat. If you've ever compared fast food in Burnley to freshly cooked Indian takeaway, this is the dish that settles the argument.

BBQ Mixed Kebab Sandwich — £8.50

Our mixed kebab with a smoky BBQ glaze. It's become a Friday-night favourite in Rosegrove and the surrounding Burnley area.

Kebab Starters Too

If you're ordering a curry but want a kebab on the side, our starter portions are perfect:

• Chicken Tikka starter — £4.00
• Lamb Tikka starter — £4.00
• Sheek Kebab starter — £4.00
• Mixed Kebab starter — £4.50
• Lamb Chops (2 pieces) — £4.50
• Tara Mix Combo — chicken tikka, sheek kebab, lamb tikka, meat somosa, onion bhaji and veg somosa — £6.50

How Tara Kebabs Compare to Burnley's Kebab Shops

We respect the dedicated kebab shops in town — Turkish Best Kebab, Sumbul Kebab House, Burnley Kebabz — they all serve their communities well. But there's a genuine difference between doner-style kebab and tandoori-grilled kebab:

• Fresh vs pre-formed: Our meat is cut, marinated and grilled to order
• Tandoor vs rotisserie: Charcoal tandoor gives a smoky char you can't replicate
• Naan vs pitta: Fresh-baked naan bread, not a cold pitta pocket
• No grease: Tandoori cooking drains fat away — you get flavour, not oil
