Traditional clay oven roasted chicken marinated overnight in yogurt and aromatic spices. A classic Punjabi favorite with smoky flavor and tender meat.
Our Tandoori Chicken is a true testament to authentic Punjabi cooking. We marinate premium chicken pieces overnight in a blend of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and a secret mix of aromatic spices. The chicken is then cooked to perfection in our traditional clay tandoor oven, which imparts a distinctive smoky flavor and beautiful charred exterior while keeping the meat incredibly tender and juicy inside.
What sets our Tandoori Chicken apart is the careful balance of spices in our marinade. We use Kashmiri red chili for vibrant color, garam masala for depth, and fresh lemon juice for tanginess. The result is a dish that's perfectly spiced without being overwhelmingly hot, allowing you to savor the complex flavors of traditional Punjabi cuisine. Served with fresh mint chutney and onion rings, it's a complete experience.

"I've tried tandoori chicken at many places in Calgary, and Punjabi Dawat's is by far the best! The spice blend is perfect, and I love that it's available 24/7. Their mint chutney is the perfect accompaniment!"
