India Garden's Chicken Butter Makhani
Tastemaker
March 15, 2025
In early January, India Garden opened its doors in downtown Traverse City, and they’ve been slinging authentic Indian dishes for lunch and dinner ever since. The crowd favorite thus far is the Chicken Butter Makhani, also known as Butter Chicken ($16.95). Tender, flavorful chicken combines with a rich, buttery tomato sauce simmered with your favorite Indian spices for a dish that feels utterly decadent, even on your lunch break. The chicken comes with basmati rice, and we recommend adding on an order of the Garlic Naan ($3.49) to soak up every delicious bite. (P.S. You can find other Butter Makhani versions on the menu, including lamb, goat, shrimp, and salmon.) Find India Garden in the old Scalawag’s building at 303 E State Street in TC, or order online at indiagrdn.com.
