Our Chicken Tikka is marinated with a bold blend of hand-ground spices and slow-grilled until each piece is charred on the outside, impossibly tender within. Served fresh off the grill with a wedge of lime and crisp salad — this is the appetizer that turns first-timers into regulars.
Introduction: The Story Behind the Smoke
Most kitchens marinate for an hour. We don't. Every piece of chicken at KNS sits in a deeply spiced yogurt marinade for a full 24 hours before it ever sees the heat of the tandoor. That's not a detail — that's the difference you taste in the very first bite.
Why Choose KNS Restaurant for Your Biryani Cravings?
Indian cuisine has long been celebrated for its bold spices, diverse flavors, and rich culinary heritage. Singapore’s cosmopolitan palate appreciates these traits, making KNS Restaurant a top choice for both locals and tourists looking for authentic Indian food in Singapore. From casual family dinners to festive celebrations, a meal at KNS is always a culinary celebration.
What Makes Our Tikka Different
- Double Marination: First coat in raw papaya paste to break down the muscle fibres naturally. Two layers of flavour, zero shortcuts.
- Coal Finishing: After the tandoor, we give each skewer a 90-second finish over live coal. That final kiss of smoke is what you're smelling when your plate arrives at the table.
- Free-Range Chicken Only: We source fresh, free-range chicken — the texture is visibly different from frozen alternatives. Firmer, more flavourful, and it holds the marinade better.
- Served Immediately: Tikka waits for no one. From skewer to plate in under two minutes — always at its best, never sitting under a lamp.
How to Eat It Like a Regular
- Solo Plate: Six generous pieces with salad and chutneys — enough for one hungry person or two light sharers.
- Sharing Platter: – Combine Chicken Tikka with Paneer Tikka and Seekh Kebab for the full tandoor experience across the table.
- Tikka + Biryani Combo:Start with tikka, finish with our Aromatic Chicken Biryani — the meal our regulars call "the full KNS experience." What Our Guests Say
