Butter Chicken in Alberta

Our best-selling curry — creamy tomato gravy, mild and rich, at all three of our Alberta locations.

Overview

Butter chicken is probably the first dish that comes to mind when people think of Indian food, and it's also our best-selling curry across all three of our Alberta locations. Chicken simmers in a creamy tomato gravy, lightly spiced and finished with fenugreek leaves and a bit of Alberta honey for sweetness. It's mild enough for someone trying Indian food for the first time, and it still has enough depth to keep regulars ordering it.

Flavor Profile and Ingredients

The sauce starts as a slow-cooked tomato base with garlic, ginger, and a mix of warming spices, then gets finished with cream and a touch of honey. What you end up with is a smooth, lightly sweet curry that's rich without being heavy. It's one of the mildest dishes on the menu, which makes it a good starting point if you're new to Indian spice levels.
