Chicken Malai Tikka is the mild, creamy cousin of our spicier tandoor starters. Tender chicken marinated in a rich blend of cream, cheese, and aromatic spices — then charred in the tandoor for that classic smoky finish. A guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Malai means cream in Hindi, and that's exactly what defines this dish. Our Chicken Malai Tikka uses a marinade built around heavy cream, mild spices, ginger-garlic paste and a touch of cheese — giving every piece a silky, almost dessert-like richness that's worlds away from a typical chicken tikka.
It's the perfect tandoor starter for diners who love bold Indian flavour but prefer to skip the heat. The mild, creamy profile pairs beautifully with our Garlic Naan and is a popular pick for families, kids and first-time Indian-food guests at our 34 Street NW location.
Where regular Chicken Tikka leans on tangy yogurt and warming spices, Malai Tikka leans on richness — cream, cheese and gentle aromatics. Same tandoor cook, completely different flavour personality.
