Authentic Armenian Tonir Ovens for Homes and Restaurants - NSF Certified

Tonir · թոնիր

In Armenia the clay oven is the tonir, where lavash has been baked for centuries. A GULATI tandoor is the same clay oven - a high-heat clay pot handcrafted in India inside a heavy-duty stainless steel body, ready for Armenian restaurants, bakeries and homes across the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a GULATI tandoor the same as an Armenian tonir?
Yes. Tonir and tandoor are regional names for the same clay oven - bread on the wall, meats on skewers inside.
Can I bake lavash in a GULATI tandoor?
Yes. Breads are pressed onto the hot clay wall and lifted off when golden. Every NSF GULATI tandoor comes with a gadhi pad (the cushion used to press dough onto the wall) and two bread removal sticks.
Which tonir is best for an Armenian restaurant or bakery?
For restaurants that need health-inspector approval, choose one of our NSF/ANSI 4 gas tandoors (26″ to 36″, 100,000 BTU) - the larger the mouth, the more bread per load, and the 36″ has a 17″ mouth. For a traditional charcoal flavor, choose the 34″ or 36″ charcoal tandoor. Not sure? Call (908) 208-3582 or use the Tandoor Finder and we'll size it with you.
Can I use a tonir at home?
Yes. Our Family Size, Medium and Jumbo home tandoors cook on charcoal, with propane or natural gas kits available, and roll on wheels for the backyard. Every GULATI tandoor comes with one-on-one virtual support to help you cure the clay and bake your first breads.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Tandoors ship in 1 business day from New Jersey and Los Angeles and arrive in 3-5 business days anywhere in the continental US. NSF, steel pot and charcoal tandoors ship for a flat $300 each; everything else ships free. For Alaska and Hawaii, please call (908) 208-3582.
