Signature Tandoor Kabob

Best Malai Chicken Kabob in Okotoks

(87 reviews)

The Malai Chicken Kabob is The Social Kabob's signature mild kabob — tender boneless chicken thigh marinated in a delicate blend of fresh cream, cheese, green cardamom, white pepper and ginger-garlic, then finished in our tandoor oven. The result is impossibly soft, mildly spiced skewers that practically melt in your mouth, celebrated in our Tripadvisor reviews as a must-try in Okotoks.

About Our Malai Chicken Kabob

At The Social Kabob in Okotoks, we take pride in serving the most authentic Malai Chicken Kabob in the Foothills region. Our kitchen uses traditional East Indian cooking methods passed down through generations, combined with the freshest ingredients available.

Voted Okotoks' Best Restaurant 2024 by readers of the Western Wheel, we are a family-owned restaurant founded by Amit Kumar with partners Jagdish Johal and Sachin Pajjii. Every dish is prepared with personal care so that locals across Okotoks — and our friends in High River, Cimarron, Drake Landing, Westmount and surrounding communities — can enjoy authentic Indian flavour without driving into Calgary.

Why Our Malai Chicken Kabob Stands Out

The secret is the marinade and the timing. We use full-fat cream and a soft cheese blend to lock in moisture, marinate for at least 12 hours, and pull the skewers from the tandoor at the precise moment the cream lightly caramelizes — never overcooked, never dry. This is what authentic Indian malai kabob is supposed to taste like.

"This is an elevated version of what I would expect if I went to a home in India for an authentic meal! The food was incredibly good, came out fast, the service was great and prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be back."

"The best Indian food in Okotoks. Before discovering this place I was having to travel into Calgary to find a decent curry — no need now. Reasonably priced too."
