The everyday curry that Punjabi kitchens run on: bone-in flavour, browned onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic and whole spices cooked down until the oil rises. No cream, no shortcuts — just a clean, spiced gravy.
If butter chicken is the special-occasion curry, chicken curry is the one families actually eat at home. Ours follows the classic method — onions browned properly, tomatoes cooked until they break down, then chicken added and simmered slowly so the masala clings to every piece.
It is the dish for guests who want their Indian food in Calgary NE to taste the way it does back home: sharper, spicier and less creamy than the restaurant classics. Ask for it hot and the kitchen will happily oblige.
Patience, mostly. The onion-tomato base is cooked until it darkens and the oil separates — that stage cannot be rushed without leaving a raw taste. Whole spices go in first, ground spices later, and fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon go in right at the end. The gravy is thinner than a masala, so it soaks into rice beautifully.
Plain rice or jeera rice is the natural partner for a thin, spiced gravy.
Plain roti, roti with desi ghee or butter naan for mopping up.
Green salad, laccha onion and mint chutney round out a simple weeknight dinner.

“Great place in the northeast for authentic Indian food. Tandoori items were cooked perfectly and the naan was fresh and soft. Highly recommend this spot.”

Chicken curry is $15.99 on our Non-Veg. Mains menu. Kadhai chicken and chicken kaali mirch are also $15.99, and goat curry is $16.99.
It is medium to hot by default because that is how it is cooked at home. Tell us your preferred spice level and we will cook it milder or hotter.
Chicken curry is a thinner onion-tomato gravy, kadhai chicken is thicker with bell peppers and crushed spices, and butter chicken is the mild, creamy tomato-and-butter classic.
