Tandoori Delights and Vegetarian Options
For heartier appetites, Happy Singh Street Eats offers a selection of tandoori and grilled dishes. The Tandoori Chicken Leg is a standout, marinated to perfection and served with refreshing mint & coriander chutney, red onion, and lime. The chicken is incredibly juicy and flavorful, avoiding the dryness often found in tandoori chicken. While a bit more char on the outside would be ideal, the moistness and taste are undeniable.

Vegetarians will appreciate the Malai Soya Chaap, a meatless option marinated in yogurt and North Indian spices and cooked in the tandoor. The yogurt marinade creates a creamy texture, keeping the soya chaap moist and tender, while the spices infuse it with flavor. It offers a satisfyingly meaty bite despite being completely vegetarian.

Breads and Mains: Paratha Perfection and Classic Dosa
Don’t miss the Paneer Paratha from the bread selection. Stuffed with marinated paneer and cooked on the grill, it boasts beautiful leoparding, adding a caramelized smokiness. The paratha is perfectly textured – chewy yet fluffy and soft. Dipping it into the creamy and buttery dal makhani is highly recommended. The combo is served with butter and sweet cane sugar, along with pickles for a salty tang to cut through the richness.

Hakka Chinese Fusion: Chili Chicken and Chicken Lollipops
Happy Singh Street Eats also ventures into Hakka Chinese cuisine. The Dry Chili Chicken might initially resemble the chili garlic momos, but it has its own distinct character, appearing slightly spicier. The chicken pieces are generously sized, moist inside, and slightly firm on the outside. The sauce is a delicious combination of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors.

Similarly sauced but with a slightly different spice profile are the Chicken Lollipops. While sharing the same tangy, spicy, and sweet base, these lollipops have a milder spice level and noticeable ginger notes. The chicken drumettes are well-prepared with rendered skin and tender meat, packed with flavor.

Happy Singh Street Eats’ version is tender and flavorful, boasting spice, aromatics, and sweetness. Wrapped in paratha with peppers and onions, it’s reminiscent of a cheese steak but with a crispy, marinated Indian twist.
