Indulge in the Best Butter Chicken at Gaylord Indian Restaurant

Experience the rich and delectable flavours of India right here in Melbourne at Gaylord Indian Restaurant. Our signature Butter Chicken, a tantalising dish that brings together tender chicken tikka cooked in a creamy tomato gravy and flavoured with dried fenugreek, awaits you. Join us at our Docklands location for a culinary journey that will leave you craving for more.

The Story of Butter Chicken

Butter Chicken, or "Murgh Makhani," is a globally renowned dish that has its roots in the heart of North India. Created by accident in the 1950s by chefs at Moti Mahal restaurant in Delhi, this dish has since become a staple in Indian cuisine worldwide. At Gaylord Indian Restaurant, we honour this tradition by using the freshest ingredients and authentic spices to recreate the original flavours that made Butter Chicken a beloved favourite.

Why Our Butter Chicken Stands Out

  • Authentic Preparation: Our chefs use traditional cooking methods to ensure each bite of Butter Chicken is as authentic as it is delicious.
  • Fresh Ingredients: We source the best quality chicken and spices, ensuring that our Butter Chicken is always fresh and flavourful.
  • Gluten-Free Option: We cater to dietary preferences, offering a gluten-free version of our Butter Chicken without compromising on taste.

HAPPY GUESTS what our guest are saying

CASEY WONG

My friends and I had the opportunity to try our Gaylord Restaurant this week. It was highly recommended by many and we were not disappointed. Harshil and Rashid took very good care of us and paired out delicious food with good service. I was impressed with every dish and our favorite were the crab taco and the truffle sauce butter chicken. If you are in Hong Kong, even if it’s a short visit, I would highly 
recommend dining at this restaurant.

Excellent service with such nice ambience. We sat inside (in this heat you can’t really sit outside) but the outside area looks lovely and comfortable for the cooler months. Lunch was delicious and the mango lassi was out of this world. Dessert was a bit too sweet for me personally but my colleagues enjoyed it!

ROB SMALL

Good quality food, great service, sat outside on the terrace, 
can recommend this restaurant.
