If you’re on a quest for the best tandoori chicken in Surrey, you know what you’re looking for. You’re not just searching for grilled chicken; you’re searching for an experience. You’re craving that perfect, smoky char from a traditional clay oven, that vibrant red-orange hue, and that incredibly tender, juicy-on-the-inside-crispy-on-the-outside texture. It’s a flavour that’s hard to perfect and even harder to find.
Too often, what passes for tandoori is just dry, mildly spiced chicken. It lacks the depth, the smokiness, and the authenticity that defines the dish. This is where Baba Chicken changes the conversation.
Hailing from Ludhiana, the heart of Punjab, Baba Chicken brings decades of culinary excellence and authentic family recipes to Surrey. This isn’t just another restaurant; it’s the new home for the true, unadulterated taste of Punjabi cuisine. And at the very heart of that tradition is our signature Tandoori Chicken.
What Makes Baba’s Tandoori the Best?
Finding the best tandoori chicken in Surrey means finding a kitchen that respects the process. At Baba Chicken, we don’t take shortcuts.
It all starts with the marinade. Our chicken is steeped for hours—a full 24-hour immersion—in a rich blend of creamy yogurt, tangy lemon juice, and a secret, time-honoured mix of spices passed down through generations. This isn’t just a surface-level coating; the marinade penetrates deep into the meat, tenderizing it and infusing it with complex flavour.
Then comes the fire.
The only way to achieve true tandoori flavour is with a traditional clay tandoor. This cylindrical oven, super-heated to searing temperatures, blasts the chicken with intense, dry heat. This process locks in the juices, creates that signature smoky char, and cooks the chicken in minutes, ensuring it remains impossibly tender. It’s this authentic method that separates the good from the best.
It’s Not Just Chicken; It’s a Taste of Ludhiana
When you take your first bite, you’re not just tasting chicken. You’re tasting the heritage of Ludhiana, a city famous for its robust flavours. Served sizzling hot with a side of crisp, cooling mint chutney and freshly sliced onions, it’s a dish that engages all the senses.
Our mission at Baba Chicken is simple: to serve the most authentic and best tandoori chicken in Surrey. We are proud to bring the legendary flavours our family perfected in India to our new home here in BC.
