What Makes Lamb Tikka Masala So Special?

The beauty of lamb tikka masala is where fire meets finesse. From a plain grilled lamb tikka to tucking the smoky pieces into a rich tomato-based masala, it was there that the masterpiece was born. The result is a dish that walks the line between richness and spiciness, comfort food and excitement.

This dish is unique because:

It is marinated first, the lamb

Yogurt, ginger, garlic, lemon and an extravagant house spice blend penetrate deep into the meat and marinate out its full potential for hours.

Then it's thrown on the grill for a smoky char

This is the place where the magic actually happens, the fire leans in and kisses lamb giving it’s signature smoky undertone.

It finally simmers in rich, creamy gravy

Our comfort food legend is elevated to stardom when you add the masala base, made with tomatoes, cream, butter, roasted spices and kasuri methi. 

This unique savory is particularly favored by meat-eaters as lamb has a richer taste than chicken. It’s richer, more succulent and aromatic-a stunning contrast against the creamy masala base.

Serve it with some buttery naan, garlic naan, soft tandoori roti, or fragrant basmati rice, and you’ll know why lamb tikka masala has earned the title of a global favorite.

Our Signature Lamb Tikka Masala at Royal Biryani House

At Royal Biryani House, lamb tikka masala is built rather than cooked, with depth and care and respect for authentic Indian culinary traditions. Every step in its preparation will have a reason, so what comes to the table is not just food but an experience of flavors layered with richness, depth, and aroma.

Premium Lamb Cuts

We start with beautifully tender lamb pieces, selected from cuts known for their natural tenderness. These cuts hold up fabulously on the grill and when slow-cooked to achieve tender and succulent taste in every single bite.

Deep Marination

Every single piece of lamb is marinated for hours in yogurt, ginger–garlic and freshly ground spices. This allows the taste to seep all the way through and results in a melt-in-your-mouth texture for our lamb tikka masala.

Expert Grilling

Lightly charring our lamb, which is marinated, gives it that signature smoky “tikka” flavor our chefs would grill them until they are lightly charred. This step adds complexity and a restaurant-style aroma to the whole dish.

Slow-Simmered Gravy

Its masala base is freshly made each day from scratch only with a simple blend of tomatoes, onions, cream and spices that is slow-cooked till perfection. This provides the velvety richness to which this dish is accustomed.

Signature Spice Blend

Our house blend of roasted spices, which is the hallmark of Royal Biryani House, adds to the dish. We aim to serve excellent lamb tikka masala at all Royal Biryani House outlets, which are Bothell, Katy, Herndon,and Lake Stevens.

Why Lamb Tikka Masala Deserves a Spotlight

Lamb Tikka Masala has long been hailed as a dish of bridled cultures. Born from the union of tandoori methods from India with the Anglo-Indians’ love for creamy sauces, it is now touted as an ambassador for global Indian cuisine. Its magic works on the principle of contrasts. Strongly grilled lamb up against a velvety creaminess of the gravy pays you off with both contrasts in one mouthful.

The spices are carefully stacked: cumin, coriander, fenugreek, garam masala, smoked paprika, black cardamom and cinnamon, each of which contributes its own note in the song that becomes the symphony of flavors in the finished dish. It’s what makes lamb tikka masala both utterly familiar and thrilling all at once, time after time.

Royal Biryani House retains this traditional complexity while infusing it with its subtle refinements. The cut of lamb is a selected one that withstands long cooking without losing tenderness. The marination is slow, the grilling is poetic, and the gravy is indulgent sans heaviness. This is the balance that has brought consistency to our special dish with diners across all three locations.
