Crafted from the finest fresh-set paneer, threaded with vibrant bell peppers and red onions, and kissed by the heat of our tandoor — our Paneer Tikka is proof that vegetarian food doesn't just compete with the meat dishes. At KNS, it outshines them.
Not All Paneer Is Created Equal
The secret to great Paneer Tikka starts long before the marinade. At KNS, we set our paneer fresh in-house every morning using full-fat milk. The difference in texture is immediate — firm enough to hold the skewer, soft enough to yield at first bite. Pre-packaged paneer simply cannot replicate this. It's a step most restaurants skip. We never do.
Why Choose KNS Restaurant for Your Biryani Cravings?
Indian cuisine has long been celebrated for its bold spices, diverse flavors, and rich culinary heritage. Singapore’s cosmopolitan palate appreciates these traits, making KNS Restaurant a top choice for both locals and tourists looking for authentic Indian food in Singapore. From casual family dinners to festive celebrations, a meal at KNS is always a culinary celebration.
The Marinade That Does the Heavy Lifting
- Achari Yogurt Base: Our marinade begins with strained yogurt blended with a house pickle spice — mustard seeds, fennel, nigella, and dried mango powder. It's tangy, complex, and unlike any tikka marinade you've had before.
- Carom Seed Finish: A pinch of ajwain in the final coat adds a subtle thyme-like earthiness that blooms the moment the skewer hits the tandoor wall.
- Minimum 6-Hour Rest: The marinated skewers rest in a cold room for at least six hours before cooking. No rushing. The flavour needs time to fully penetrate every face of the paneer.
- Served Immediately: Kashmiri Chilli for Colour, Not Just Heat: We use Kashmiri chilli exclusively for that deep terracotta blush on each cube — it gives vivid colour with gentle warmth, so the spice never overpowers the paneer's natural sweetness
The Vegetarian's Main Event
- Solo Starter: Four hearty skewers served with dual chutneys and a fresh kachumber salad — light enough to start, satisfying enough to be the meal.
- Vegetarian Platter: Pair Paneer Tikka with our Hara Bhara Kebab and Stuffed Mushroom Tandoori for a complete meat-free feast that surprises even committed non-vegetarians.
- Tikka + Dal Makhani Combo: Our most popular vegetarian pairing — the richness of slow-cooked black lentils against the charred brightness of the tikka is a balance that feels complete.
- Great for Sharing: Order two portions for the table as a starter — it consistently sparks the most conversation of any dish we serve. What Our Guests Say
