Kanak’s butter chicken is a rich curry of boneless chicken simmered in a creamy tomato and butter sauce, typically served with basmati rice or naan. What sets this version apart is the balance between creaminess and a gentle chili warmth, with spices that come through clearly without overwhelming the sauce. The chicken stays tender in the velvety gravy, and the dish arrives with enough sauce to soak into bread or rice for a very comforting plate. Diners consistently single out this butter chicken as one of the dishes that defines the restaurant and keeps it in the conversation for top Indian food in Seattle.
