Tandoori Chicken Edmonton: Clay-Oven Favourites

Tandoori Chicken Edmonton diners want is a satisfying choice for a meal centred on the clay oven at New Everest Indian Multi Kitchen & Bar on Whyte Ave. The menu also offers boneless chicken options, a lamb kebab, and a mixed platter, making it easier to choose between a single chicken-focused order and a table-ready selection. Here is what distinguishes each of the tandoori favourites and how to plan an order around them.

Tandoori Chicken on Whyte Ave in Edmonton

New Everest Indian Multi Kitchen & Bar brings two kitchen traditions together on Whyte Ave in Old Strathcona: a clay tandoor and East Indian curry kitchen, plus an Indo-Chinese wok section. For someone seeking an oven-centred Indian meal, the tandoor menu offers a focused place to start, with chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetarian choices listed separately from the curries.

Tandoori Chicken is the direct choice when a whole-chicken format sounds more appealing than boneless pieces. It is listed in the From Tandoori Oven section, which makes it a useful anchor for a meal that starts with the restaurant’s clay-oven side of the menu.

The tandoori selection is not limited to one style of chicken. Chicken Tikka and Chicken Malai Tikka offer two boneless options with different listed marinades, while Lamb Seekh Kebab follows a ground-lamb format. The New Everest Tandoori Platter brings several menu items together for diners who would rather compare flavours at the table.

What Sets Tandoori Chicken Apart

The menu description keeps the focus clear: whole chicken, yogurt and authentic Indian spices. That combination makes Tandoori Chicken a distinct format within the clay-oven list, not simply another chicken curry choice. It is especially practical when the table has already decided that chicken is the centrepiece and wants an order with a more substantial format.

Its placement on the tandoor menu also reflects the restaurant’s multi-kitchen approach. The tandoor is one of the two kitchens under one roof, alongside the East Indian curry kitchen and the Indo-Chinese wok section. Diners looking for food from the clay oven can therefore choose a focused chicken order without having to sort through every category on the menu.

There is no need to guess between chicken dishes based on a generic description. The listed marinade and cut are more useful decision points: Tandoori Chicken is whole chicken with yogurt and authentic Indian spices, while the boneless alternatives have their own stated ingredients. That distinction matters when selecting an order for one appetite, a shared table, or a pickup meal on Whyte Ave.

Compare Chicken, Kebab and Platter Choices

Choosing from the tandoor menu comes down to format and the details named for each dish. The table compares the five key choices without treating them as interchangeable. A whole chicken, boneless chicken pieces, lean ground lamb and a mixed platter all answer a different kind of order.

Boneless Chicken Options

The table is useful because it keeps the comparison grounded in what is actually listed. Pick Tandoori Chicken for the whole-chicken format, Chicken Tikka or Chicken Malai Tikka for boneless chicken, Lamb Seekh Kebab for ground lamb, or the platter for the broadest mix of listed tandoori items.

When a Mixed Platter or Lamb Kebab Fits Better

A chicken-centred meal is not the only reason to visit the tandoor menu. The New Everest Tandoori Platter and Lamb Seekh Kebab give a group or an individual diner two clearly different formats: one combines several listed items, while the other keeps the decision centred on lamb.

The platter is a practical choice when the group does not want to settle on a single protein. It includes prawns, chicken, seekh kebabs and lamb as described on the menu, creating more range than a one-dish order. Because it contains Chicken Tikka, it also gives boneless-chicken fans a place at a mixed tandoor meal.

For a more focused selection, Lamb Seekh Kebab avoids the wider mix of the platter and centres the order on lean ground lamb. Its slow cooking over a flame is specifically noted on the menu. This makes the choice simple: take the platter for variety across several items, or choose the kebab when lamb is the main priority.

How to Build a Tandoor Order for Your Table

Start by deciding what format will make the meal feel complete. Tandoori Chicken makes sense when the group wants a whole chicken order. Chicken Tikka and Chicken Malai Tikka are the two boneless chicken routes, with special herbs and spices listed for the first and special herbs and cream listed for the second.

• For whole chicken: choose Tandoori Chicken.
• For boneless chicken: compare Chicken Tikka with Chicken Malai Tikka by their listed marinades.
• For lamb: choose Lamb Seekh Kebab, made with lean ground lamb.
• For a mixed table: choose the New Everest Tandoori Platter for its tandoori prawns, Chicken Tikka, seekh kebabs and lamb with onions and tomatoes.

Once the main tandoor item is chosen, the rest of the menu can help round out the table according to individual preferences. The restaurant’s full Edmonton menu groups tandoor dishes, curries, bread, rice, starters and Indo-Chinese selections in one place, so diners can see the available categories before finalizing a meal.

New Everest serves diners from Strathcona, Garneau, Queen Alexandra, Ritchie, Bonnie Doon, King Edward Park, McKernan, Belgravia, Magrath Heights, Terwillegar Towne, Twin Brooks, Tawa and Haddow. For more on the restaurant’s Whyte Ave setting, read about the Indian restaurant on Whyte Ave.
