Signature North Indian Curry

Best Butter Chicken in Okotoks

(142 reviews)

Indulge in the most beloved dish on our menu — The Social Kabob's Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani). Tender, marinated chicken is slow-cooked in a rich, velvety tomato-cream sauce balanced with traditional spices, fresh ginger, garlic and a touch of fenugreek. Served bubbling hot with fragrant basmati rice and fresh-baked naan, our Butter Chicken is the gold standard for authentic Indian comfort food in Okotoks — consistently praised in reviews and a benchmark for anyone searching for the best butter chicken south of Calgary.

About Our Butter Chicken

At The Social Kabob in Okotoks, we take pride in serving the most authentic Butter Chicken in the Foothills region. Our kitchen uses traditional East Indian cooking methods passed down through generations, combined with the freshest ingredients available.

Voted Okotoks' Best Restaurant 2024 by readers of the Western Wheel, we are a family-owned restaurant founded by Amit Kumar with partners Jagdish Johal and Sachin Pajjii. Every dish is prepared with personal care so that locals across Okotoks — and our friends in High River, Cimarron, Drake Landing, Westmount and surrounding communities — can enjoy authentic Indian flavour without driving into Calgary.

Why Our Butter Chicken Stands Out

What makes our Butter Chicken stand out is the recipe: a traditional Murgh Makhani preparation that has been passed down and perfected over generations. We marinate the chicken overnight in yogurt and spices, finish it in the tandoor for a smoky depth, then simmer it in our house-made cashew-tomato gravy. No shortcuts, no cream-only imitations — just authentic North Indian flavour, made fresh every day in Okotoks.

"This is an elevated version of what I would expect if I went to a home in India for an authentic meal! The food was incredibly good, came out fast, the service was great and prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be back."

"The best Indian food in Okotoks. Before discovering this place I was having to travel into Calgary to find a decent curry — no need now. Reasonably priced too."
