Butter Chicken here is the signature dish. Tender chicken in a house-made tomato-cream sauce built on aromatic spices, served from 11 AM to 2 AM every day in Aldergrove, where no other Indian kitchen stays open this late. At $18, it's why Harry's Pizza & Indian Cuisine became West Edmonton's go-to for late-night Indian food.

What makes Harry's Butter Chicken different

Most places over-sweeten their butter chicken. Restaurants reach for sugar when the tomatoes aren't charred enough. We don't.

Butter chicken starts as a Delhi invention from the 1940s, born when chefs took tandoori chicken and reimagined it in cream sauce. The dish works because it sits between spice and richness, heat and comfort. But there's a gap between fast butter chicken and real butter chicken. That gap is time.

Quick versions get tomato paste dumped into cream with generic spice powder. The sauce tastes one-note, cloying. A proper butter chicken demands patience: you marinate the chicken, toast your spices separately, char the tomatoes before they become the base of the gravy, and let those flavors steep for hours.

The sauce: rich, creamy, and built from scratch

Our Butter Chicken starts with chicken we marinate in yogurt and spices, giving the meat time to absorb flavor. Into a hot pan it goes, charred just enough. Then the sauce.

Tomatoes hit a hot pan first. They blacken at the edges. This step is where most kitchens cut corners. We don't. Those charred tomatoes deepen. The raw edge of fresh fruit disappears. What's left is a foundation with actual depth. Spices go in next. We grind cumin, coriander, cardamom, and cloves fresh, building the blend as the tomatoes soften. Garam masala ties it all together. Cream goes in last, balancing the tomato acidity with richness that coats your mouth without overwhelming it.

Guests often say our butter chicken tastes different from other Edmonton restaurants. Richer. More layered. Less sweet. It's the charred tomatoes and the fresh spices that make the difference. One day, one night, no batch sits on a heat lamp.

Best pairings: Garlic Naan, rice, and what else to order

Butter Chicken is made to be scooped with bread. Our Garlic Naan comes hot from the clay oven, brushed with garlic-butter applied right before service. You tear off a piece, dip it into the sauce, and the warm bread soaks it up while staying soft inside, slightly charred outside.

If you want rice instead, we serve basmati on the side, fluffy and mild. Rice works. Naan is the true pairing, what our regulars order together 95 out of 100 times.

Still hungry? Order a second main. Lamb Vindaloo is our spiciest curry, bold for diners who want heat. Chicken Tikka Masala is a softer cousin to butter chicken, with paneer for the vegetarian table. Most groups get both and share. Finish with Gulab Jamun, our warm cardamom and rose water dumplings, to end gently. If pizza calls after your curry, we've got tandoori and donair for those late-night cravings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is butter chicken made of?

Butter chicken is tender chicken pieces in a tomato-based cream sauce, built on aromatic spices. The dish starts with marinated chicken, often charred, then braised in a sauce made from tomatoes, cream, and spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala. At Harry's, we hand-spice our sauce and char the tomatoes before they become the base, which deepens the flavor and removes the raw edge. The result is a rich, balanced curry that's neither too sweet nor overly spiced.

Why is Harry's butter chicken different?

Most Edmonton restaurants make butter chicken as a quick sauce. We don't rush it. We start by charring tomatoes in a hot pan until the edges blacken. This deepens the tomato flavor and sets us apart from places that use raw or canned tomatoes. The cream sauce is hand-spiced, and the chicken is marinated, not thrown raw into the pan. That extra time and attention is why customers say our butter chicken tastes richer and more complex than what they've had elsewhere.

What should I order with butter chicken?

Butter Chicken is best enjoyed with fresh bread to soak up the creamy gravy. Our Garlic Naan comes hot from the clay oven and is the top pairing. If you prefer rice, we serve basmati on the side. Many diners also order a second main like Lamb Vindaloo or Chicken Tikka Masala to share. Finish with Gulab Jamun, our warm cardamom and rose water dessert, to complete the meal.

Is butter chicken available every day at Harry's?

Yes, Butter Chicken is available every single day of the week at Harry's Pizza & Indian Cuisine. We're open Monday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM.
