Butter Chicken at Virk Dhaba – authentic Punjabi creamy Punjabi chicken curry in London, Ontario

About Our Butter Chicken

Butter Chicken, or Murgh Makhani, is the most famous dish to come out of Punjab, and at Virk Dhaba we make it the way it is made at home in London, Ontario. We start with succulent chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, then finish it in a slow-simmered makhani gravy of fresh tomatoes, butter, and cream.

The secret is in the balance – a touch of sweetness from the tomatoes and cream, a gentle heat from the spices, and a finish of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) for that unmistakable dhaba aroma. Every batch is cooked fresh, never from a shortcut, which is why it is one of the most-ordered dishes for both single meals and party catering across London.
