Bone-in chicken marinated overnight in yogurt, garlic, ginger and a blend of traditional spices, then roasted in our clay tandoor until smoky and tender. It's one of the dishes Afghan Chatkhara Restaurant is best known for in northeast Calgary.
Tandoori Chicken is a cornerstone of Afghan, Pakistani and Indian halal cooking, and at Afghan Chatkhara Restaurant we make it the traditional way. Chicken pieces are marinated for hours in yogurt, lemon, ginger-garlic paste and a house spice blend, then cooked over the intense heat of a clay tandoor. The result is a charred, smoky exterior with juicy, flavourful meat underneath.
Served alongside our fresh tandoor naan, a side salad and mint chutney, Tandoori Chicken is a favourite for families and groups dining in Castleridge, and a top pick for takeout and delivery orders throughout Taradale, Saddleridge and Temple.
Our Tandoori Chicken is prepared at a medium spice level with a smoky, tangy yogurt marinade. Just let our team know if you'd like it milder or spicier when ordering.
Yes, all chicken served at Afghan Chatkhara Restaurant is halal, sourced and prepared according to Islamic dietary requirements.
It's best enjoyed with our fresh tandoor-baked naan or basmati rice, both available to add to your order for delivery or takeout across Taradale, Saddleridge and Temple.

"Reminds me of chicken cooked back home. The char on the outside and the marinade flavour are spot on."
