What is a tikka masala?

Tikka masala starts with pieces of marinated chicken tikka cooked in a clay tandoor oven, then finished in a creamy, lightly spiced tomato sauce.

It sits between a korma and a bhuna for heat — flavourful rather than hot.

How we cook it

Our chicken is marinated, charred in the tandoor and then simmered in a fresh tomato and cream masala, finished with dried fenugreek leaves.

Goes well with

• Garlic naan
• Pilau rice
• Bombay aloo

Common questions

What's the difference between tikka masala and butter chicken?

Both use tandoori chicken in a tomato and cream sauce. Butter chicken is milder and richer; tikka masala has a little more spice.

Can I have it hotter?

Yes — just ask for extra heat when you order.
