Best Butter Chicken in Sunnyvale

Butter Chicken is the dish that launched a thousand cravings, and at Naan N Masala, it remains the most-ordered item across both the Sunnyvale and Milpitas locations for good reason. Boneless chicken is first marinated in yogurt and a proprietary spice blend, then cooked in the tandoor until lightly charred, before being finished in a slow-simmered tomato-cream gravy enriched with butter and a careful cascade of warming spices. The sauce is velvety, slightly sweet from the natural sugars in the tomatoes, and rich without being cloying—a balance that separates truly great butter chicken from the thousands of mediocre versions served across the country. The chicken pieces are tender throughout, their tandoor-kissed edges providing a subtle smokiness that the creamy sauce amplifies rather than masks. Originally invented in Delhi's Moti Mahal restaurant in the 1950s, butter chicken has since become the single most recognized Indian dish on earth, and its popularity is deserved: when executed correctly, it is one of the most satisfying things you can eat. Pair it with garlic naan for the definitive combination, or order it with basmati rice for a saucier experience. Butter Chicken delivery in Sunnyvale and Milpitas is available daily, including during late-night hours at the Sunnyvale location. All chicken is halal-certified. At $15.99, this is the dish that defines Naan N Masala—and the one to order first if you've never been.
