Chef's Recommendation

Tandoori Chicken is an iconic Indian dish, and at Dawat E Zaika we honour tradition with our time‑tested recipe. Chicken is marinated in yogurt, lemon juice, and a blend of spices, then roasted in our clay tandoor at high heat to lock in juices and infuse a signature smoky flavour.

The result is succulent meat with a vibrant red hue and lightly charred edges. Serve it with mint chutney and a squeeze of lime for an unforgettable taste of India.
