    Restoran Sayed

    There is no better place to reveal a luscious tandoori chicken than a choices erupted eatery like Restoran Sayed, as it helps to make up our mind without further vacillating around. Chopped into bite-sized and showered with chopped onions and herbs, it’s downright delicious. The slightly charred speckles on the meat just burst to fore with a punch of spices and it’s usually paired with naans.

    Restoran Osman is another great place to enjoy a variety of dishes, even if it's in the middle of the night. It is opened for 23 hours, so yeah, it's always ready to serve. As for their tandoori chicken, you can see them baking it in a tandoor right outside the restaurant. Not only is the tandoori chicken incredibly tender, it's also well seasoned and packed with a good depth of flavour.

    As generic as the name may sound, Indian Kitchen is a pretty good place to have some tandoori chicken. This clean and fairly modern looking place offers quite an extensive array of Indian cuisine, one of which includes the ever so flavourful tandoori chicken. It comes in a pretty generous serving, with the whole chicken being nicely chopped and portioned. Tender on the inside, crisp on the outside - Indian Kitchen's tandoori chicken is definitely well worth the try.
