Experience Amantran's signature Butter Chicken — a timeless classic and customer favourite. Featuring tender pieces of tandoori chicken simmered in a rich, creamy tomato-based curry with the perfect blend of authentic Indian spices. This beloved dish has made Amantran a destination for Indian fine dining in Winnipeg's St. James neighbourhood.
Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) is one of India's most beloved dishes and a signature specialty at Amantran in Winnipeg. Our authentic recipe begins with chicken marinated in yogurt and a carefully crafted blend of spices, then cooked in our traditional tandoor oven to lock in flavour and juiciness. The chicken is then simmered in a rich, creamy tomato sauce made with butter, cream, and a masterful balance of spices including garam masala, fenugreek leaves, and a touch of sweetness.
What makes Amantran's Butter Chicken special is the perfect balance of flavours — creamy without being heavy, flavourful without overwhelming spice, and with that distinctive smoky tandoor character that elevates every bite. We serve our Butter Chicken with your choice of fragrant basmati rice or freshly baked naan bread, making it the perfect comfort food for any occasion. Whether you dine in at our elegant restaurant on Portage Ave or order delivery to anywhere in Winnipeg, our Butter Chicken is consistently a crowd favourite.

"Amazing food at Amantran! The noodles were delicious and so much better than what I get from other Indian restaurants. The kitchen was closing but they still let me place my order — very kind. Thank you, Amantran!"
