Chicken Simmered in a Butter-Infused Tomato Sauce
Rich, creamy butter chicken at Saffron Indian Bistro in Banff and Lake Louise — simmered in tomato and finished with fenugreek. Order online.
Butter Chicken is the single most requested dish at Saffron — chicken cooked in a butter-infused tomato sauce and finished with fenugreek, so it lands rich and rounded rather than heavy.
Guests visiting Banff and Lake Louise routinely call it the best butter chicken in the Canadian Rockies. Pair it with fresh garlic naan or saffron rice, and ask for your preferred spice level — every curry is cooked to order.
