Best Tandoori Chicken in KL

Jaipur Mahal is known for its pure authentic Indian cuisine. From home-grinding ingredients to creating their own special spices and avoiding far of commercial spices, Jaipur Mahal’s signature Chicken Tandoori dish is made of tender chicken marinated in fresh creamy yoghurt along with their special-made masala and charbroiled to perfection. With the first bite of this tender chicken tandoori, patrons will expect crisp texture on the outside yet succulent meat on the inside packed with authentic Indian flavour. Be it paired with warm white rice or naan bread along with curry, Jaipur Mahal’s chicken tandoori will make your palate swoon.

When it comes to first impressions, Restoran Mahbub wins all the awards. Occupying three shop lots and with even more tables spilling towards the CIMB bank next door, it really makes you wonder, "What makes them so popular?". Well, two things: Their Nasi Briyani Ayam Madu and tandoori chicken. Do not be afraid of the over-saturated red on the tandoori chicken, as it derives from the excessive use of spices - meaning to say, a more flavourful chicken! Paired with a piece of naan, it just can't get any better than this.

Arumugam, otherwise known as Uncle Aru's Tandoori, is a humble and possibly most sought after stall for a good serving of tandoori. It is located right next to a guitar shop, in a hawker center, so do not expect much from the ambiance. On the other hand, the tandoori here is done to absolute perfection. The chicken is marinated with enough seasoning to feed a family of six, charred beautifully and cooked tender-soft. Ordering one of these along with their cheese naan is gonna be more than just amazing.

As you've might guessed, Bombay Palace Restaurant is not your everyday place to eat. Of course, if you could afford it, why not? But this place is famous for its exquisite and luxurious settings, attentive services and of course, amazing food. One of their signatures is the tandoori chicken. Although there are several other tandoori items on the menu, the chicken reigns supreme. Beautifully cooked till supreme tenderness, along with a good heap of spices and seasoning, theirs is charred to perfection. One serving of Bombay Palace's tandoori chicken will leave you craving for more. 

My Papa's Naan is another great place in KL to order a delicious serving of tandoori chicken. Not only is it seasoned with a good balance of spices, the tenderness and juiciness of the chicken really comes through. Perfectly done, it goes incredibly well with some naan. For those hardcore food goers, opt for the cheese naan with additional cheese for that added richness and flavour!
