Butter Chicken vs. Chicken Tikka Masala – What’s the Difference?

Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala are often confused, but they’re quite different. Butter Chicken is creamy, buttery, and mild with a silky sauce, while Chicken Tikka Masala is spicier, tangier, and more robust. At Zahida in Copenhagen, we proudly serve Butter Chicken — a comforting favourite made with halal chicken and our signature tomato-butter-cream sauce.
