Butter chicken — murgh makhani — began in North Indian kitchens as a way of giving tandoori chicken a second life in a buttery tomato gravy, and our Hamilton Street kitchen still builds it in that order. The chicken goes into the clay oven first, so every piece carries a little smoke before it ever meets the sauce.
The gravy is cooked down slowly: ripe tomatoes, ginger and garlic, a measured hand with garam masala, then butter, cream and a pinch of dried fenugreek right at the end. What lands on the table is a mild, family-friendly curry that suits children and first-time curry eaters, while anyone chasing heat can simply ask the kitchen to lift the chilli.
How Our Kitchen Cooks Butter Chicken
Marination runs overnight, the tandoor runs hot, and the gravy is made in small batches through the day rather than held for hours. Every order is finished to order, whether you are seated in our Regina dining room or collecting it on the way home. Sharing? Ask for extra gravy — it is the part everyone competes for.
Perfect Pairings & Serving Notes
Pairs perfectly with:
- Garlic naan or butter naan, straight from the tandoor
- Steamed basmati rice to soak up the gravy
- A cooling raita or crisp green salad
- Sweet or salted lassi to finish
Good to know before you order:
- Contains dairy: butter, cream and yogurt
- Mild as standard — heat adjusted on request
- Made with boneless chicken, so not a vegetarian dish
- Generous enough for one hungry guest, or two sharing with rice
