Frequently Asked Questions

Is Chicken Tikka Masala an authentic Indian dish?

Tikka Masala is a British-Indian creation that has become beloved worldwide. While its exact origins are debated, it combines authentic Indian cooking techniques with flavors that appeal globally.

How spicy is Chicken Tikka Masala?

Our Tikka Masala is mild to medium (2/5 spice level). It has flavorful spices but is not hot. We can increase the heat upon request.

What's the best bread to eat with Tikka Masala?

Garlic Naan is the classic pairing – its buttery garlic flavor complements the curry perfectly. Plain naan or roti also work great for scooping up the sauce.

Can I get Paneer Tikka Masala instead?

Yes! We offer Paneer Tikka Masala for vegetarians using the same delicious sauce with grilled paneer cheese instead of chicken.
