Best Tandoori Chicken in Saskatoon | Taj Mahal Indian Restaurant

About Our Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori Chicken is one of the most iconic dishes in North Indian cuisine and a cornerstone of our menu at Taj Mahal. Whole bone-in chicken pieces — legs, thighs, and breast — are slashed deeply and marinated for a minimum of 12 hours in a vibrant blend of thick yogurt, Kashmiri red chilli (for colour and mild heat), fresh lemon juice, ginger, garlic, garam masala, cumin, and our house tandoori masala. This deep marinade penetrates the meat all the way to the bone.

The marinated chicken is then loaded onto long iron skewers and cooked in our traditional clay tandoor oven at temperatures exceeding 400°C, creating a beautiful charred exterior, a smoky aroma, and a juicy, thoroughly cooked interior that remains incredibly moist. Served on a sizzling platter with sliced raw onion rings, lemon wedges, and fresh mint chutney, Tandoori Chicken is an experience as much as a meal. It is halal, gluten-free, and available at both our Saskatoon locations.
