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
1
Marinate
The chicken goes into a yogurt and spice marinade so it stays tender and soaks up flavor before it ever hits the heat.
2
Tandoor
We cook it in our clay tandoor for that smoky char you cannot fake on a flat grill.
3
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
Common Questions
Is your butter chicken spicy?
It is mild by default, a little sweet and rich. If you want more heat, ask for it 1 to 5 when you order.
Is the butter chicken halal?
Yes. All of our chicken is certified halal, butter chicken included.
What comes with it?
Every entree comes with complimentary basmati rice. Add garlic naan to scoop up the sauce.
Is it gluten-free?
Yes. The sauce is built on tomatoes, butter, cream, and spices, with no flour. Pair it with rice instead of naan for a fully gluten-free plate.
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.
