While our Butter Chicken has rightfully earned its place in the spotlight, the Baba Chicken Restaurant menu is a vast treasure trove of North Indian culinary delights. For the adventurous foodie in Surrey, focusing only on one dish is like reading only the first chapter of a masterpiece. This guide is designed to help you navigate our menu and discover your next favorite meal.
The Tandoori Treasures
The tandoor (clay oven) is the heart of our kitchen. Before you dive into the curries, you must experience our starters.
- Baba’s Special Lemon Chicken: This is a cult favorite. Unlike the sweet-and-sour versions found elsewhere, our lemon chicken is tangy, peppery, and incredibly juicy. It’s a refreshing departure from heavier appetizers.
- Fish Tikka: Sourced locally and marinated in a robust blend of carom seeds (ajwain) and spices, our fish is charred to perfection, offering a flaky, smoky experience that is light yet satisfying.
- Paneer Tikka: For our vegetarian patrons, this is a must. The paneer is soft, the edges are crisp, and the marinade is a perfect balance of spice and tang.
The Vegetarian Corner
At Baba Chicken, we treat our vegetarian dishes with the same reverence as our meat items.
- Dal Makhani: This isn’t just lentil soup. Our Dal is slow-cooked for over 24 hours on a low flame, resulting in a creamy, smoky texture that is traditionally enjoyed with a buttered naan.
- Malai Kofta: Soft dumplings made of paneer and potatoes, swimming in a rich, white gravy. It is the definition of comfort food.
The Signature “Baba” Gravies
If you want something different from butter chicken in Surrey, try our Mutton Curry. The meat is slow-cooked until it falls off the bone, and the gravy is a deep, spicy red that reflects the true flavors of a Punjabi household. Another hidden gem is our Rara Chicken, which combines succulent pieces of chicken with a spiced minced meat gravy, providing a unique texture and a double hit of flavor.
Pairing Your Meal
No meal at Baba Chicken Restaurant is complete without our artisanal pieces of bread. From the garlic-heavy Garlic Naan to the stuffed Amritsari Kulcha, our breads are designed to be the perfect vessels for our rich gravies.
Next time you visit us, we challenge you: try something new. Our menu is a curated journey through the best of what Punjab has to offer, and we promise that every dish has a story worth tasting.
