Experience our award-winning Butter Chicken, a signature dish at Dawat E Zaika Indian Cuisine & Bar. Featuring tender pieces of tandoori chicken in a rich, creamy tomato sauce with the perfect blend of authentic Indian spices.
Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) is one of India's most beloved dishes and a signature specialty at Dawat E Zaika Indian Cuisine & Bar. Our authentic recipe begins with chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, then cooked in our traditional tandoor oven to lock in flavor and juiciness. The chicken is then simmered in a rich, creamy tomato sauce made with butter, cream, and a carefully balanced blend of spices including garam masala, fenugreek leaves, and a touch of honey for sweetness.
What makes our Butter Chicken special is the perfect balance of flavors – creamy without being heavy, flavorful without overwhelming spice, and with that distinctive smoky tandoor flavor that elevates the dish. We serve our Butter Chicken with your choice of basmati rice or freshly baked naan bread, making it the perfect comfort food for any occasion.
