Experience the dish that built our legacy — BABA'S Butter Chicken. Tender chicken simmered in a rich, creamy tomato-cream gravy made from the same closely-guarded spice blend that has been delighting guests since 1962. The dish that put Baba Ji's kitchen on the map.
Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) is North India's most beloved curry, and BABA'S version is the heart of our menu. The recipe traces back to 1962, when S. Himmat Singh — affectionately known as Baba Ji — first served it from his roadside stall in Punjab. Today the same hand-measured spice blend lives on at our Edmonton kitchen at 3315 34 St NW.
Our chicken is marinated overnight in yogurt and warm spices, charred in the tandoor for that signature smoky depth, then folded into a velvety tomato-cream sauce finished with fenugreek and a whisper of honey. Pair it with a fresh Garlic Naan or fragrant basmati rice. It's the curry Edmonton drives across the city for.
Three things set BABA'S Butter Chicken apart: a generational spice blend no other Edmonton restaurant has access to, real slow-tandoor charring for genuine smoky character, and a sauce balanced so it's never cloyingly sweet. Served seven days a week — late nights too.
