Best Butter Chicken in Bowness, Calgary

About Our Butter Chicken

Butter chicken, known across Punjab as Murgh Makhani, is built on two things: a well-marinated tandoori chicken and a gravy that takes time to get right. At Haandi Indian Cuisine, our kitchen marinates chicken in yogurt, ginger, garlic and a blend of warming spices before it goes into the clay tandoor, where it picks up a light char and smoky depth a stovetop simply can't replicate.

That tandoori chicken is then folded into a slow-simmered tomato gravy finished with butter, cream and a pinch of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek) for the dish's signature slightly sweet, slightly tangy finish. The result is a mild, family-friendly curry that pairs beautifully with garlic naan, tandoori roti or steamed basmati rice — a favourite for family dinners and takeout orders across Bowness, Montgomery and northwest Calgary.
