Bone-in chicken is marinated overnight in hung curd, lemon, ginger-garlic and a custom blend of tandoori masala, then roasted on skewers in our blazing-hot clay tandoor. The result is deeply smoky on the outside, succulent inside, and finished with a brush of melted butter and a squeeze of fresh lemon - a showcase of traditional Punjabi tandoor cooking.
Tandoori Chicken is one of those dishes that truly cannot be faked - it needs a real, blazing-hot clay tandoor, and that is exactly what we cook with. The chicken is scored and marinated overnight so the spices, lemon and yogurt penetrate every fibre.
Long bamboo skewers go straight into the tandoor where the chicken roasts at high heat, picking up that signature smoky char on the outside while staying remarkably juicy on the inside. We finish each plate with melted butter, fresh lemon, sliced onions and mint chutney.
Many restaurants in Calgary use ovens or grills and call it tandoori - but without the clay tandoor you do not get the real smoky, slightly charred flavour. Our tandoor is fired up around the clock so you get authentic, properly cooked tandoori chicken at any hour.
"The tandoori chicken is smoky, juicy and absolutely beautifully marinated. You can taste the difference a real clay tandoor makes."
"Outstanding tandoori chicken - properly charred on the outside and incredibly tender inside. The mint chutney is a perfect match."
"I order this almost every weekend. Smoky, flavourful, and never dry. The kids love it too. Best tandoori chicken in Calgary NE."
