- Non-Veg Tandoori Platter: The ultimate solution for indecisive diners. This platter brings together skewers of Chicken Tikka, Malai Tikka, Fish Tikka, and Seekh Kebabs, accompanied by mint chutney and sliced vinegar onions.
- Vegetarian Favorites: Don’t overlook the Paneer Til Tinka, Kurkuri Gobi, and Spinach Corn Rolls, which provide a crispy, flavorful vegetarian counterpoint to the meat dishes.
2. The Signature Main Courses: Curries & Gravies
The curries at Baba Chicken are organized into flexible serving sizes—often available in Half Plate, Regular, and Large formats—making it simple to order for individuals or large groups.
Chicken Curries
- Baba Butter Chicken (Bone-In / Boneless): The undisputed flagship item. Balanced, aromatic, and rich with cream and real butter, it sets the standard for how butter chicken should taste.
- Delhi Wala Butter Chicken: For those who prefer a tangier, brighter tomato base reminiscent of Old Delhi’s classic roadside recipes.
- Rara Chicken: A decadent Northern specialty pairing succulent chicken pieces with a minced chicken gravy reduction—yielding incredible texture and depth in every bite.
- Tawa Chicken: High-heat stir-fried chicken tossed with chopped onions, tomatoes, and crushed spices on a flat iron tawa.
Goat & Mutton Curries
- Roganjosh Mutton: Braised tender goat meat cooked in an aromatic kashmiri-spiced gravy infused with fennel and ginger.
- Rara Goat: Similar to Rara Chicken, combining whole tender goat meat cooked in spiced minced meat gravy for robust flavor.
Vegetarian Curries
- Baba Butter Paneer: Fresh cubes of paneer simmered in the famous signature gravy.
- Dal Makhani: Slow-cooked black lentils simmered for hours with butter and cream.
- Kadhai Paneer: Cottage cheese cubes tossed with crisp bell peppers, whole coriander seeds, and a spicy onion-tomato gravy.
3. Tandoori Breads & Accompaniments
No curry is complete without oven-fresh bread to scoop it up. The Baba Chicken bread station features:
- Garlic Naan & Butter Naan: Pillowy, leavened bread slathered in melted butter and roasted minced garlic.
- Lachha Parantha: Multi-layered, flaky whole-wheat bread crisped on the tandoor.
- Hari-Mirch Bullet Parantha: For heat lovers—stuffed with fresh diced green chillies.
- Stuffed Naans with Gravy: Generously filled with chicken, keema, or paneer, and served with a side bowl of signature Baba gravy.
4. Lunch Specials & Naan Rolls
If you are grabbing a quick lunch during your workday, look for the Lunch Special Naan Rolls. Stuffed with your choice of Chicken, Paneer, Seekh Kebab, or Soya Chaap, these wraps are served with french fries, a dipping side of Baba gravy, and a cold soft drink—offering tremendous midday value.
