Best Chicken Tikka in Bowness, Calgary

About Our Chicken Tikka

Chicken tikka is tandoor cooking at its most direct. Boneless pieces of chicken are held in a yogurt marinade with ginger, garlic and traditional spices long enough for the yogurt to tenderise the meat and carry the spice right through it, rather than just coating the surface.

The marinated pieces then go onto skewers and into the clay tandoor, where fierce dry heat chars the outside in minutes while sealing the juices in. That smoky char is the whole point — it is why the dish arrives at the table sizzling, with mint sauce alongside to cut through the spice. A favourite starter and a light main across Bowness, Montgomery and northwest Calgary.
