Chicken Malai Tikka is the skewer Calgary grill and tandoor food lovers reach for again and again, and ours is a house signature at Flames & Grills By Tuli's on Sarcee Trail NW. We marinate boneless chicken thigh in a smooth malai (cream) marinade built on yogurt, fresh cream and mild ground spices, letting it soak up all that flavour before it ever sees the fire.
Each skewer is then char-grilled in a blazing-hot tandoor until the outside picks up a light, smoky char while the inside stays tender, creamy and juicy. It is a grilled tandoori specialty through and through — no gravy, no sauce, just clean tandoor flavour that is mild enough for the whole family and perfect as a starter, part of a group order, or catering for parties across northwest Calgary.
What Makes Our Chicken Malai Tikka Special in Calgary
The secret is the marinade and the fire. Resting the chicken in that rich malai marinade keeps every bite soft and creamy, while the live-fire heat of the tandoor locks in a gentle smokiness that separates a truly great Calgary Chicken Malai Tikka from the rest. Every skewer is grilled fresh to order and made with halal-friendly ingredients so more guests can enjoy it.
