Chicken Tikka in NE Calgary

Chicken tikka is tandoori cooking at its simplest: no bones, no gravy, just well-marinated chicken and dry charcoal heat. We cut the breast into generous cubes so the outside chars while the centre stays tender, then finish each skewer with lemon and chaat masala.

It is the plate to start with if you are new to Indian food in Northeast Calgary — approachable heat, big flavour and nothing to navigate. Regulars from Falconridge and Castleridge order it as a starter, then use the leftovers inside a chicken tikka wrap the next day.

Chicken Tikka vs Tandoori Chicken

Both come out of the same clay oven, but tandoori chicken is bone-in and roasted in larger pieces, while chicken tikka is boneless and cut into cubes so it takes on more marinade and more char per bite. If you want the smokiest bite, order the tikka; if you want the juiciest, order the tandoori chicken.

Best Ways to Order Chicken Tikka

As a starter

On the go
