Best Butter Chicken in Crowfoot, Calgary

Customer favourite at Crowfoot

Butter chicken, or murgh makhani, is the dish that introduces most Calgarians to Indian food, and it is the most requested curry at Green Chili Crowfoot. Boneless chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices, cooked in the clay oven, then folded into a smooth tomato sauce finished with butter, cream and a hint of dried fenugreek. The result is rich, mildly spiced and gently sweet, which makes it a favourite with families and first-time curry eaters across Arbour Lake, Ranchlands, Hawkwood and Tuscany. Pair it with garlic naan or basmati rice and you have the classic NW Calgary Indian dinner.

About Our Butter Chicken

At Green Chili – Cuisine of India in Crowfoot Crossing, our butter chicken starts the traditional way: chicken tikka cooked in the clay oven for a light smoky char, then simmered in a tomato-based makhani gravy. We keep the spice level gentle so the buttery, creamy sauce stays front and centre.

Everything on our menu is halal, and butter chicken is one of the dishes guests from Arbour Lake, Ranchlands, Scenic Acres and Royal Oak order again and again, whether they dine in with us, pick up on the way home or order delivery through our online store.

Why Our Butter Chicken Stands Out

A good butter chicken is all about balance. Our sauce is silky rather than heavy, with enough tomato brightness to cut through the cream and just a touch of sweetness. The chicken is cooked in the tandoor before it meets the sauce, so it stays tender and picks up a subtle smoky flavour you will not get from a pan-cooked version. Ask for it mild for kids or medium if you like a little more warmth.

Perfect Pairings

Garlic Naan or Peshwari Naan for scooping up the sauce
Steamed basmati or saffron rice
Onion Bhajia to start
Chicken Tikka from the clay oven
A vegetable side such as Okra Masala or Paneer Do Pyaza
