About This Dish
Chicken Malai Kebab is the epitome of tandoori elegance – tender chicken bathed in a luxurious marinade of cream, cheese, cashew paste, and cardamom. The 'malai' (cream) creates an incredibly smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Our chefs marinate the chicken for hours before cooking it in our blazing tandoor. Served sizzling with mint chutney and lemon wedges – aristocratic comfort food at its finest.
