Indian and Chinese restaurant Wok N Tandoor opened a location in Orange on Feb. 17. The restaurant already has a location in Artesia’s Little India.

Wok N Tandoor offers traditional Indian and Chinese food as well as innovative items such as Szechuan Fries and Indian pizzas. Indian sweets and snacks are available as well.

The company also caters.

Orange location owner Natasha Brahmbhatt said there are a few differences between the Artesia and Orange locations. The Artesia location is fine dining with a full bar while the Orange outpost is “an express version.” Beer and wine will be added in the next month.

“There’s a large Indian community in the surrounding area who already go to the Artesia location and we wanted to bring something closer,” Brahmbhatt said. “It allows people to come more often and other people to come and try Indian food. It’s a generation now where people are more willing to try new foods.”

She added that Millennials are more willing to try new foods than older generations and she hopes Wok N Tandoor will offer people a cheap way to try new things. The most expensive item on the menu is $11.99.

There is a create your own bowl option for $8.95 at lunch.

If the restaurant does well Brahmbhatt will open additional locations.

Wok N Tandoor is located at 1948 N Tustin St., the former space of Tito’s La Familia.
