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 home-made spices we roast and grind ourselves rather than a ready-made paste. Enjoy it for takeaway pickup, direct delivery up to 7 km, or outdoors at our casual outdoor dining tables under the string lights on the corner of Forrest Street and Wood Street (BYO welcome, $3 corkage per person — walk in, or book an outdoor table).

What To Order With It

  • Garlic Naan ($6.00) or Butter/Plain Naan ($5.00) for scooping up the sauce (can be made vegan and dairy free).
  • Plain Boiled Basmati Rice (for 2) ($5.00), Turmeric Rice (for 1) ($3.50), or Turmeric Rice (for 2) ($6.00).
  • Cucumber Raita ($6.00) to cool things down.
  • In a Weekend Value Pack ($55 for 2, $80 for 3, $100 for 4), upgrade any curry to Butter Chicken for $2.
