The 4 large fist shaped pieces of boneless chicken are juicy and tender with a medium chew to texture.
.
Light on spices but with more yoghurt in the marinade, the chicken holds meaty sweet savoury spice flavours. A drizzle of lime juice lends zesty tangy sour notes for contrast.
.
Actually more filling than it looks.

This is better than I remember.
.
The boneless chicken chunks are large and meaty, almost the size of a fist.
.
Glazed with a home made marinade of spices, it's tandoor roasted till juicy and tender, with a delightful light chew. Has decent smoky aroma, with meaty savoury sweet spice flavours.
.
Didn't need the additional sprinkle of lime juice, but I appreciate the fresh crisp red onion slices with sharp vegetal sour sweet notes.

The marinade of spices here has infused beyond just the surface of the chicken, both visually evident and in taste - robust meaty savoury spice sweet in flavour.
.
Nicely tender with a light juicy chew to texture. The spice lingers on the palate, lending a bit of heat.
.
Dipping mint sauce is bright with herbal sweet notes, nice. Good technique and quality spices means a higher price.

Possibly the most premium version around, hand made with quality spices and refined culinary techniques befitting mughlai royalty.
.
Boneless chicken, marinated in spices and yoghurt, is skewered and tandoor roasted to perfection. The spices deeply infuse the chicken, giving it a distinctive orange red hue.
.
The chicken meat is tender and juicy and succulent, pulling apart easily. Each bite releases a bold meaty savoury sweet spice salty flavour, carrying an enticing smoky aroma.
.
Does all that justify the high price? You decide!.

What I appreciate is their option for a half-portion, making this possibly the most wallet-friendly rendition of this dish.
.
While I'm not a fan of the way they slice it up into bite-sized chunks (I prefer to see the fist-sized piece), the chicken is tender and nice with a light chew, bordering dry and moist.
.
Decent smoky meaty sweet savoury spice flavour. Served with a lime wedge, which can potentially overwhelm the delicate chicken if you squeeze too much.

Sized for 2, their generous portion makes it easy to share.
.
The boneless chicken chunks have a fragrant smoky aroma, and borders dry and moist; a more generous rub of yoghurt would be good.
.
Flavour is on point, the mellow smoky salty spice notes overlaid on the meaty savoury sweet flavour of the chicken.
.
Better when paired with the mint dipping sauce for its bright herbal sweet flavour.

Meaty, juicy, and smoky, their rendition is succulent and satisfying.
.
The large tandoor roasted boneless chicken chunks have robust meaty savoury sweet spice flavour, yum.
.
Good enough on its own, even without the mint dipping sauce on the side.
