Butter chicken was born in Delhi in the 1950s, when cooks stirred leftover tandoori chicken into a rich tomato, butter, and cream gravy so nothing went to waste. That happy accident became one of the most loved Indian dishes in the world. Ours stays true to that origin, tandoor-cooked chicken simmered in a velvety makhani sauce. It is our number one seller for a reason, and it may be the dish that wins over anyone new to Indian food.
