Albufeira is known for its golden beaches, lively old town, and international cuisine—but tucked among the charming streets is a culinary treasure that brings the heart of India to Portugal’s southern coast. Welcome to Red Fort Indian Cuisine & Bar, where the rich traditions of North Indian Tandoori cooking are honored, preserved, and celebrated every single day.
Where Tradition Meets Travel
Walking into Red Fort feels like stepping through a portal. The tantalizing aroma of freshly ground spices, sizzling meats in the tandoor, and warm Indian hospitality instantly transport you from the Algarve to the bustling kitchens of North India.
Founded with a passion for authenticity, Red Fort is committed to serving 100% traditional North Indian Tandoori cuisine—the kind passed down through generations. No shortcuts, no diluted flavors—just real Indian food, made the way it’s meant to be.
The Tandoor: A Flame That Tells Stories
At the center of the kitchen is the traditional clay tandoor oven, where marinated meats and vegetables are slow-roasted over charcoal, infusing them with a smoky, unforgettable depth of flavor. The Tandoori Chicken is a house favorite—tender, juicy, and layered with aromatic spices.
Other must-try dishes include Paneer Tikka, Lamb Seekh Kebabs, and freshly baked Garlic Naan, all prepared with the precision and care you’d find in the finest Indian households.
More Than a Meal—An Atmosphere
Red Fort isn’t just about incredible food. It’s a place where you can unwind in a quiet, relaxing environment, far from the noise and rush. Whether you’re enjoying a romantic evening, a family dinner, or just need a comforting solo meal, the peaceful vibe and attentive service create the perfect setting.
The interiors feature warm tones, subtle Indian décor, and a welcoming bar area where you can enjoy a selection of drinks, from chilled Kingfisher beer to classic Indian mango lassi.
Flavors You Can Trust
In today’s world, hygiene and health are as important as taste—and Red Fort takes this seriously. With a spotless kitchen, clean surroundings, and a team that prioritizes food safety, guests can enjoy every bite with peace of mind.
Plus, the restaurant offers a wide range of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, so every guest feels at home.
