Taste Amantran's Malai Tikka — creamy, tender marinated chicken tikka grilled to smoky perfection in our traditional tandoor oven. This melt-in-your-mouth appetizer showcases the art of tandoori cooking at its finest, right here in Winnipeg.
Malai Tikka is the epitome of elegance in tandoori cuisine, and at Amantran in Winnipeg, we prepare it with a dedication to authenticity that sets us apart. Tender boneless chicken pieces are marinated in a luxurious blend of cream (malai), cheese, and delicate spices — including cardamom, white pepper, and nutmeg — that create a subtle, aromatic flavour profile. The marinated chicken is then carefully grilled in our clay tandoor oven, where the intense heat creates a beautiful char on the outside while keeping the inside impossibly juicy and tender.
What makes Amantran's Malai Tikka exceptional is the balance between the creamy richness of the marinade and the smoky intensity of the tandoor. Unlike spicier tikka preparations, Malai Tikka is intentionally mild and creamy, making it perfect for those who prefer gentler flavours or for children. Served with mint chutney and lemon wedges, it's an ideal appetizer before your main course or a satisfying light meal on its own. Available for dine-in, takeout, and delivery across Winnipeg.

"Amazing food at Amantran! The noodles were delicious and so much better than what I get from other Indian restaurants. The kitchen was closing but they still let me place my order — very kind. Thank you, Amantran!"
