About Butter Chicken
Butter chicken, or murgh makhani, is tandoori chicken simmered in a smooth sauce of tomato, butter and cream. It was created in Delhi after 1947 and is usually credited to the cooks of Moti Mahal restaurant.
Regional versions
Restaurant versions range from sweet and mild to smoky and tangy. Some add fenugreek leaves for depth, and many make it with boneless chicken tikka rather than chicken on the bone.
What to order with it
Order garlic naan or butter naan to scoop up the sauce, and dal makhani alongside. Jeera rice works well too.

How this list is made
We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
