Butter Chicken in Copenhagen
There are few dishes more loved than butter chicken. At Zahida, our butter chicken has become one of Copenhagen’s most talked-about Indian dishes. Slow-cooked, layered with spice and finished with balance and depth, it represents everything our kitchen stands for: tradition refined through technique.
Located in central Copenhagen near Nørreport Station, Zahida serves butter chicken as part of our tasting menus and à la carte selection.
What Makes Our Butter Chicken Different
Our butter chicken is not overly sweet, heavy or one-dimensional.
• Marinated overnight
• Cooked slowly for tenderness
• Finished with layered spice depth
• Balanced with acidity and heat
• Served with fragrant basmati rice
We build flavour from the base — toasted spices, fresh ginger and garlic, slow caramelised tomatoes, and cream added only to achieve balance.
This is refined Indian cooking in Copenhagen, not takeaway curry.

Once a month, we host Butter Chicken Night, where guests enjoy our signature dish at a special midweek price.
