Why Ours Tastes Different
Butter Chicken is often made sweet and heavy. Ours leans on the homestyle version: chicken thighs rather than breast, so the meat stays tender, a creamy butter sauce balanced with delicate spices, and a spice blend we roast and grind ourselves rather than a ready-made paste. Enjoy it for fast takeaway pickup, local direct delivery up to 7 km, or outdoors at our casual self-serve alfresco tables under the string lights on Forrest Street (BYO welcome, walk in, or book an outdoor table).
