Butter Chicken, known as Murgh Makhani, is the most celebrated dish to emerge from North Indian cuisine. At Chef's Indian Kitchen — consistently ranked among Medicine Hat's top restaurants — we prepare this classic using authentic techniques and fresh, quality ingredients. Our chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices before being cooked in our clay tandoor for that smoky, charred depth of flavour.
The magic happens when the tandoori chicken meets our house-made makhani gravy — a luscious blend of ripe tomatoes, butter, cream, and carefully selected spices including kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves) that give it that distinctive, slightly sweet, velvety finish. The result is creamy, mildly spiced, and absolutely irresistible whether paired with garlic naan or fragrant basmati rice.
