Origin

Tandoori chicken, born in Peshawar and popularized by Kundan Lal Gujral in Delhi's Moti Mahal, represents the most iconic dish of Indian cuisine. It sparked a revolution that brought Indian food to global prominence.

Chef's Interpretation

Our preparation begins 24 hours before service. Free-range chicken is marinated in two stages: first a tenderizing yogurt bath, then a paste of 22 spices including our proprietary tandoori masala. The result is legendary.

Flavor Profile

Smoky, deeply spiced exterior giving way to impossibly juicy meat. Notes of cardamom, coriander, and Kashmiri chili create warmth without overwhelming heat.
