Butter Chicken Night at Zahida restaurant

Butter chicken, our guest and staff favourite, served with cumin and haldi rice

There are certain dishes guests come back for again and again.

For us, butter chicken is one of them.

It’s the bowl that ends up empty first. The one someone at the table insists on ordering. Rich, gently spiced, and finished with a silky tomato-butter sauce, it’s comfort food that still carries depth and warmth.

We serve it the way we like it ourselves: with cumin and haldi basmati rice, steamed until fluffy and lightly aromatic.

A Monthly Tradition – 135 DKK

Every last Wednesday of the month, we dedicate the evening to butter chicken.

For 135 DKK per person, you get a generous serving of our signature butter chicken with cumin and turmeric rice. No shortcuts, no scaled-down version. Just the dish as it appears on our menu, served properly and cooked fresh.

It’s our way of making a mid-week dinner feel a little more rewarding.

What Makes Ours Different

Butter chicken has many versions. Some are very sweet. Some are heavy with cream.

Our version is balanced. The tomato base is slow-cooked to soften the acidity. The spices are layered, not aggressive. The sauce is rich, but not overwhelming.

We use halal chicken and prepare the dish carefully, the same way it has been served from our kitchen over the years.

It’s familiar, but precise.

Why It Works Midweek

There is something about butter chicken on a Wednesday that makes the week feel shorter.

It’s not complicated food. It’s generous, warm, and easy to share. Add naan, maybe a glass of wine or a mango lassi, and suddenly it feels like more than just dinner.

Our dining room stays lively but relaxed. No rush. No ceremony. Just good food and conversation.

Vegetarian, Vegan & Allergy-Aware Options

While the evening centres around butter chicken, our kitchen always accommodates dietary preferences where possible. If someone at your table prefers vegetarian or vegan options, or has allergies, just let us know when booking.

We make adjustments carefully and transparently.
