Best Dal Makhani in NW Calgary

(57 reviews)

Dal Makhani is a slow-simmered classic made with whole black lentils, finished with cream and butter for a rich, velvety texture that's become a staple of North Indian comfort food. At Butter Chicken Hut, we cook ours low and slow so the lentils fully absorb the spice and cream for a deeply flavourful, restaurant-style finish.
