Good Chicken Tikka Masala

Ever since moving from Boston to New York earlier this year, I have been struggling to find chicken tikka masala as good as the one they serve at India Quality in Kenmore Square (I know, you're thinking, Kenmore? Food? But I swear it's true.) Their CTM really is the best I've ever had anywhere, from London to Route 4 in Paramus, NJ.

Suggestions?

    If you like an unpureed, non-creamy, slightly chunky version, I would try it at Angon. Very different from the standard pinkish vartiety.

      Brick Lane for sure.

        Thanks for the recs. I can't stand a pureed CTM sauce, especially when it's blasted with cream. The best TM sauces are rough, tomato-y, and definitely not pureed (in my book).

          The CTM at Indigo is really good............

            I'll go ahead and say that Chola is my favorite. The chicken is pretty good despite being (I think) breast meat which tends to get dry. The sauce is tasty, not too salty, and not overly creamy.

            It could be a little spicier, but couldn't everything?

              I agree, love Chola! Love the chicken, and yes, true white meat can dry out, but I much prefer it regardless.
