If there is one thing that brings people together, it is the shared love of incredible, soul-satisfying food. For residents of Surrey and the Greater Vancouver Area, finding an authentic taste of North India has never been easier. Whether you are craving a rich, buttery curry or the smoky perfection of clay-oven delicacies, the baba chicken menu is a testament to the vibrant culinary heritage of Punjab. Every item on our menu is a carefully crafted masterpiece, designed to transport your taste buds straight to the bustling streets of Ludhiana and Delhi.
Let us take a comprehensive tour of the menu highlights, uncovering the signature dishes, traditional curries, and hidden vegetarian gems that make dining with us an unforgettable experience.
Appetizers That Kickstart the Journey
Before you dive into the heavy mains, the baba chicken menu offers a vast array of starters designed to awaken your palate. A great Indian meal is incomplete without the sizzle of the tandoor (traditional clay oven).
For the meat lovers, the Chicken Malai Tikka and Afghani Chicken Tikka are absolute must-tries. For those who prefer a milder, creamier flavor profile, our Malai Tikka is marinated in rich cream, cashew paste, and subtle spices, offering a melt-in-the-mouth texture that perfectly contrasts the charred edges from the tandoor. If you want something with a bit more kick, the Chicken Kali Mirch Tikka relies on the earthy, aromatic heat of cracked black pepper rather than red chilies.
Seafood enthusiasts will rejoice at the Fish Pakora, featuring crisp-fried fish fritters seasoned with a unique blend of herbs and spices—perfect for a quick bite or takeout. And for traditionalists, the Mutton Seekh Kebab combines fresh lamb mince with ginger, garlic, fresh coriander, and freshly ground Indian herbs, skewered and roasted to juicy perfection.
Vegetarian Starters That Rival the Meat
One of the standout features of the baba chicken menu is that vegetarian diners are never treated as an afterthought. Our vegetarian appetizers are just as robust and flavorful as our meat dishes.
The Tandoori Soya Chaap and Afghani Soya Chaap are legendary among locals. Soya chunks are marinated in rich spices and yogurt, then charred in the tandoor to achieve a meaty, satisfying texture that even carnivores rave about. The Paneer Tikka and Reshmi Paneer Tikka feature thick cubes of cottage cheese marinated in spiced yogurt and cream, char-grilled to smoky perfection. For a unique twist, try the Spinach Corn Rolls—crispy, golden rolls filled with spiced spinach and sweet corn, served alongside our signature mint chutney.
A Symphony of Rich and Creamy Curries
The main event of any visit to Baba Chicken is our selection of breathtaking curries. Let’s start with the undisputed kings of the menu:
- Baba’s Butter Chicken (Boneless): Forget everything you know about standard takeout butter chicken. Ours is a rich, savory, and perfectly balanced masterpiece featuring slow-cooked tomatoes, fresh cream, and tender pieces of tandoori-roasted chicken.
- Delhi Wala Butter Chicken: A slightly different take on the classic, bringing the specific, robust flavor profile of Delhi’s bustling culinary scene right to your plate.
For those who love heat, the Chicken Kali Mirch (available in semi-gravy or regular) is a revelation. The peppery sauce delivers a warm, lingering heat that doesn’t overpower the palate. Mutton lovers must try the Rara Meat (Goat), a meat lover’s dream featuring tender pieces of goat cooked alongside rich mutton kheema (minced meat) in a heavily spiced, thick gravy.
Vegetarian Mains Built on Tradition
The vegetarian main courses on the baba chicken menu are equally spectacular. The Baba Butter Paneer offers rich, soft cubes of fresh paneer swimming in our signature buttery tomato sauce. For a more rustic, spicy dish, the Karahi Paneer is cooked in a traditional wok with crunchy bell peppers, onions, and freshly pounded coriander seeds. And of course, no Punjabi menu is complete without Dal Makhani—black lentils slow-cooked for hours over a low flame, finished with cream and butter for a deeply earthy flavor.
Breads, Rice, and Perfect Pairings
A great curry demands a great vessel. We feature a wide variety of freshly baked breads straight from the tandoor. From the classic Butter Naan and Garlic Naan to the flaky, multi-layered Lachha Parantha, there is a bread for every preference. We also offer incredible stuffed naans—such as Keema Naan (stuffed with minced mutton), Paneer Naan, and Onion Naan—which are practically meals in themselves when paired with a side of extra Baba gravy.
Pair these with our fragrant, long-grain Chicken Biryani or simple Jeera Rice, and add a side of cool Raita to balance the robust spices. Exploring the baba chicken menu is a journey of flavors, textures, and traditions. Visit us today and discover your new favorite dish!
