What Defines the “Best”?
To determine the best butter chicken in Surrey, one must look at three criteria: Texture, Flavor Balance, and Quality of Meat.
- Texture: A great butter chicken sauce should be silky smooth. It shouldn’t be watery, nor should it be a thick paste. It needs to coat the back of a spoon perfectly. At Baba Chicken, we strain our gravies to ensure a velvety mouthfeel that feels luxurious with every bite.
- Flavor Balance: This is where most fail. It is easy to dump sugar into a tomato sauce and call it butter chicken. But the best butter chicken in Surrey requires complexity. You need the acidity of the tomatoes to cut through the richness of the cream. You need the fenugreek to add that earthy aroma. You need a hint of spice to warm the throat. Our chefs have mastered this delicate balancing act.
- Quality of Meat: We use premium cuts of chicken, marinated and pre-cooked in the tandoor. This ensures the meat isn’t just boiled and bland; it has its own flavor profile that stands up to the sauce.
The Baba Difference: The Yellow Gravy Phenomenon
If you ask a local foodie where to find the best butter chicken in Surrey, they might ask you, “Red or Yellow?” Baba Chicken is famous for our “Baba Butter Chicken,” which features a unique yellow gravy.
This recipe is a closely guarded family secret. It eschews the heavy tomato base for a lighter, nuttier, and creamier profile. It is a dish that has been celebrated in Ludhiana for over 60 years. For many of our customers, this unique variation instantly wins the title of the best butter chicken in Surrey because it offers something you simply cannot get anywhere else. It is rich, savory, and incredibly addictive.

The best butter chicken in Surrey needs the best accompaniments. You cannot enjoy the gravy without the perfect scoop.
- Garlic Naan: Our garlic naan is fluffy, charred, and brushed with real butter and fresh garlic. It is the sturdy vehicle you need to scoop up every drop of sauce.
- Jeera Rice: For those who prefer rice, our basmati rice tempered with cumin seeds (jeera) provides a fragrant and fluffy base that soaks up the curry beautifully.
