About Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori chicken is chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, then roasted in a clay tandoor oven at very high heat. It became famous through Moti Mahal in Delhi in the 1950s.

Regional versions

Its red color comes from Kashmiri chili, and in some restaurants from food coloring. It is usually served on the bone, as a half or a full chicken.

What to order with it

Squeeze lemon over it and eat it with mint chutney, sliced onion and naan.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.

Missing a place, a dish or a closure? Tell us and we will fix it.
