If you’ve ever taken that first smoky, juicy bite of good Tandoori Chicken, you know it has one job — to stop you mid-sentence and make you close your eyes for a second. And that’s exactly what happens at https://dasavoryspoon.com/.
Foodies don’t hype things without reason. When a dish wins hearts again and again, it means the flavour, texture, and experience are different. And our Tandoori Chicken? It does more than hit — it takes over your senses.
In this guide, I’m breaking down why this one dish keeps getting all the attention, why people keep coming back for it, and what makes it stand out in a world full of chicken dishes.
You’ll get real stories, real impressions, and real taste notes — nothing dressed up, nothing flowery.
Let’s get into it.
1. The Marinade That Actually Means Something
Most places “marinate” chicken the same way people pretend to read terms and conditions — quick, lazy, and done just for the sake of it.
That’s where we refuse to play that game.
At dasavoryspoon the marinade sits long enough for the chicken to absorb flavour right to the bone. I’ve seen kitchens where the marinade barely sticks to the surface, and the final dish tastes like sadness with a hint of yogurt. But here? You taste layers.
A proper Tandoori marinade needs three things:
Thickness so it coats every piece
Patience so it breaks into the fibres
Balance so the heat doesn’t kill the taste
Most people mess up at least one of these. When you taste ours, you instantly feel that the meat has actually spent time bathing in those spices — not just being dipped and rushed into a tandoor.
It’s the difference between “good” and “damn, this is what I wanted.”
2. The Char — That Perfect, Beautiful Char
If the char is weak, the dish is weak. Period.
That smoky edge is what makes Tandoori Chicken Tandoori Chicken. And here’s where most restaurants fail — the outside burns, but the inside is still struggling.
You get that bold, confident char. The kind that tells you the tandoor was blazing hot, the chef knew exactly what he was doing, and every second was calculated.
There’s a sweet spot between:
Burnt
Under-charred
Perfectly kissed by flame
Ours hits the third category without missing. The outside gives you that slight crisp, almost like a signature crunch, while the inside stays juicy. You can literally hear a soft tear when you pull it apart.
That char carries stories — smoke, spice, and the kind of heat that wakes up your appetite.
3. Juiciness That Doesn’t Need Any Sauce to Save It
A lot of places serve Tandoori Chicken that feels like chewing on a protein-based dessert. Dry. Hollow. No life left.
That’s because they either:
Use small low-quality cuts
Rush the cooking
Don’t marinate long enough
Or all three together
Our version refuses to depend on sauces or dips to taste good. The juiciness stands on its own. That’s when you know a tandoor dish is made properly.
A small personal example:
The first time I had the Tandoori Chicken at https://dasavoryspoon.com/, I didn’t touch the mint chutney for the first five minutes — and that is very unlike me. The meat was tender enough to pull apart without effort and packed enough moisture that it felt like it had been steamed inside the flames.
You get flavour in every bite, not just the first two.
4. A Spice Blend That’s Not Pretending to Be “Modern”
Some places try to be too clever with Tandoori Chicken.
They try to “modernise” it.
Add strange ingredients.
Tone down the spice.
Confuse the flavour profile.
And it ends up tasting like a confused cousin of the real thing.
Our approach? Straightforward:
Keep the tradition, but execute it properly.
That means:
No shortcuts
No watered-down flavours
No unnecessary twists
No hiding behind fancy plating
The spice blend focuses on heat, aroma, and balance — not gimmicks.
You’ll feel everything:
The warmth of chili
The earthiness of cumin
The calm of yogurt
The smoke from the tandoor
Together, they create a flavour that foodies instantly recognise and respect.
5. It’s Made With Actual Pride — Not Just for the Menu
This is the part most people underestimate.
Great recipes can be copied.
Great presentations can be copied.
Great marketing can be copied.
But pride? That cannot be copied.
When a chef cares about a dish, the dish shows it. There’s a noticeable difference between “let’s just get these orders out” and “let’s make this perfect.”
At Da Savory Spoon, the Tandoori Chicken isn’t just another item in the category. It’s treated like a flagship. You can feel it in the aroma as soon as it hits the table.
I’ve had Tandoori Chicken at dozens of places in my life — street stalls, fancy restaurants, home kitchens — and you can always tell when a chef is emotionally invested in the dish. Every foodie knows this feeling.
That pride is what makes ours stand out.
And that’s exactly why customers keep coming back specifically for this one dish.
