Customer Favorite

Our Butter Chicken is a perfect example of authentic North Indian cuisine. We start with tender pieces of chicken that are marinated in yogurt and spices, then grilled to perfection. The chicken is then simmered in our signature tomato-based curry sauce, enriched with cream and butter for that characteristic smooth, velvety texture. The sauce combines aromatic spices like garam masala, cumin, and coriander with fresh ginger and garlic.

What makes our Butter Chicken special is the perfect balance of flavors – the mild heat allows the complex spices to shine through without overwhelming your palate. This makes it an ideal choice for those new to Indian cuisine, while still satisfying experienced curry lovers. Served with basmati rice or fresh naan bread, it's a complete and satisfying meal.
