A Global Phenomenon

While its exact origins are heavily debated—some say it was created in the Mughal empire, others claim it was born in a Scottish curry house in the 1970s—there is no denying its popularity. Chicken Tikka Masala was created by taking dry Chicken Tikka (marinated, roasted chicken chunks) and adding a rich, spiced masala gravy to satisfy diners who wanted a saucier dish. Today, it stands as one of the most beloved dishes globally. 

The Perfect Masala Base 

What separates our authentic chicken tikka masala in Oakland from the rest is our gravy base. Unlike Butter Chicken, which relies heavily on butter and cream, our Tikka Masala starts with a base of slowly caramelized onions, garlic, and ginger. This creates a deeply savory, robust profile that beautifully complements the smoky char of the tandoori chicken. 

100% Halal Chicken & Heritage Spices

  • The Meat: Premium, 100% certified halal boneless chicken, marinated in our house yogurt and roasted in a 900°F clay tandoor. 
  • The Gravy: Vine-ripened tomatoes, sweet caramelized onions, and a touch of fresh cream. 
  • The Spices: A vibrant mix of cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and our signature house garam masala. 

 

Tailored to Your Taste

Chicken Tikka Masala is naturally robust and flavorful, typically served at a medium spice level. However, our chefs make every batch to order! When you order online, you can request your dish to be MildMediumSpicy, or Extra Spicy.
