“This chicken tikka is stupidly hot — in a good way. It's simple: chili, lemon, and smoked meat. The chicken is butterflied and grilled, constantly basted with sauces and lemon juice. It's so juicy there's a puddle of chicken juice in the middle. The smoky flavor from the grill is incredible. You eat it with butter naan, and it's addictively tasty. I guarantee every time I come to Johannesburg, I'll be coming back for more extra spicy chicken tikka.”
