- Pair with rice, poppadums or chips from our menu
Ask when you order if you want to check the spice level or ingredients.
What is butter chicken?
Butter chicken, or murgh makhani, comes from Delhi in northern India. It is traditionally made with chicken in a smooth tomato sauce enriched with butter and cream, lightly spiced so it tastes rich rather than hot.
Butter chicken or tikka masala?
They are close cousins. Both are creamy and tomato-based, but butter chicken usually leans richer and more buttery, while tikka masala often has a slightly brighter, spicier sauce. Try our Chicken Tikka Masala to compare.
Who it suits
Butter chicken is a good choice for anyone who prefers mild curries, and an easy first curry for newcomers. If you want even milder, see the Royal Cream Chicken Korma.
Vegetarian version
Love the sauce but not the chicken? Our Butter Paneer Curry is a vegetarian alternative with paneer cheese. The Classic Butter Chicken Market Deeping is the chicken original.
What to eat it with
Pair it with Pilau Rice for a classic plate, or Vegetable Rice for something more filling. Start with Poppadums, and if you are a curry-and-chips fan, add large chips.
Curry night at home
Curry is made for sharing. Pick two or three dishes with different spice levels, add rice and poppadums, and let everyone help themselves. A Classic Butter Chicken Market Deeping order is a good one to build around.
Other chicken curries
See the House Special Chicken Curry, Chicken Balti, Chicken Handi and Sweet Chilli Chicken Curry.
Finish with something sweet
Finish with a pot of custard or a slice of red velvet cake.

Eating it at its best
Curry is best eaten soon after collecting. If you have leftovers, cool them quickly, keep them in the fridge, and reheat until piping hot all the way through.
Goes well with
Round it off with something from our dips, drinks or desserts.
