What makes our butter chicken worth the trip?
Good butter chicken comes down to two things: the chicken and the sauce. Ours is made fresh in-house, simmered in a smooth tomato and butter gravy with warm spices, and finished with cream. It is mild enough for the whole family and flavorful enough that people ask for extra naan to finish the sauce.
Everything we serve is halal, so you can order with confidence whether you are dining with family, friends or coworkers.
What to order with it
Butter chicken is best when the table is full. Here is how most of our guests build the meal:
- Fresh or Garlic Naan for scooping up every last bit of sauce
- Basmati Rice or Biryani to balance the creaminess
- Seekh Kabab or Chicken Kabab from the grill for a smoky contrast
- A cooling Raita or Salad on the side

Butter Chicken vs. Chicken Tikka Masala
Both dishes are made with marinated chicken in a tomato-based sauce, so people often mix them up.
Butter chicken is milder, creamier and slightly sweet, with a smooth gravy built on butter and cream. Chicken tikka masala is usually spicier and has a bolder, more robust masala flavor.
If you like gentle spice and a velvety sauce, start with butter chicken. If you want more heat, ask us about spice levels.
