Hidden Gem: Best Tandoori Chicken in Sandakan!
Found this amazing mamak stall in Sandakan that serves the BEST tandoori chicken I've ever had in Sabah!
š **Restaurant:** Restoran Sri Mahligai
š **Location:** Jalan Utara, Sandakan
š° **Price:** RM 18 for full chicken (huge portion!)
What makes it special:
- Marinated for 24 hours in secret spice blend
- Cooked in traditional clay tandoor
- Crispy outside, juicy inside
- Free flow naan bread with every order
- Homemade mint chutney that's to die for!
I went there skeptically, but one bite convinced me. The owner told me he learned the recipe from his grandfather who brought it from Punjab. The spices are imported directly from India.
Also tried:

Butter Chicken (RM 15)

Total bill for 2 people: RM 52 only! š¤¤
Go before it gets too famous and the queue becomes insane!
