A TIKKA DRIVE FAVORITE

Butter Chicken.

Tender chicken in a rich tomato and cream sauce. The one almost everyone orders, and the one we are happy to be known for.

What Is Butter Chicken?

Butter chicken, or murgh makhani, started in Delhi in the 1950s when cooks simmered leftover tandoori chicken in a sauce of tomato, butter, and cream. It is mild, a little sweet, and deeply savory, which is why it is the dish most people try first. Ours sticks to that original idea: chicken cooked in the tandoor, then finished in a slow-simmered tomato and cream sauce.

All About the Sauce

The sauce is where butter chicken lives or dies. Ours starts with ripe tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, and a blend of warm spices, cooked down slow until it is smooth and rich. Then real butter and cream round it off. That red color is not food dye, it comes from tomatoes and Kashmiri chili. And there are no seed oils anywhere in it.

How We Make It

Marinate

The chicken goes into a yogurt and spice marinade so it stays tender and soaks up flavor before it ever hits the heat.

Tandoor

We cook it in our clay tandoor for that smoky char you cannot fake on a flat grill.

Simmer

Then it finishes in the tomato and cream sauce, cooked low and slow until everything comes together.

Make It a Meal

Butter chicken is even better with something to scoop it up and something cool on the side.

Garlic Naan

Basmati Rice

Mango Lassi

Why Ours Is Different

Same comfort, cleaner kitchen. Our butter chicken is made with no seed oils, no artificial dye, and halal chicken, cooked fresh every day.
