Our take on Indian comfort food's most beloved dish, elevated with the smokiness of the grill. Tender pieces of char-grilled chicken finished in a rich, aromatic butter chicken sauce — depth, smoke and creamy spice in every bite. One of the top reasons Banff foodies keep coming back to Banff Sizzlers.
At Banff Sizzlers, our Smoked Butter Chicken takes the classic Indian comfort dish and adds the live-fire character of the grill. Chicken is marinated overnight, char-grilled until smoky, then finished in a slow-simmered tomato-cream butter chicken sauce that's rich, aromatic and deeply layered.
Served with warm garlic butter naan and steamed basmati rice, it is the kind of main that defines our Indian fusion section. We are one of the few restaurants on Banff Avenue with this kind of cross-cultural depth — locals and visitors alike have made it a regular order.
The smoke is the difference. Most butter chicken is purely braised — ours is char-grilled first, which adds a savoury depth you cannot replicate any other way. Combined with our slow-cooked sauce and house-baked naan, it is butter chicken with a Banff Sizzlers signature.
We come back every weekend for the Smoked Butter Chicken. Super friendly bar, great vibes and the cheapest drinks in town. Easily our favourite spot on Banff Ave.
Stopped in after a hike and ordered the Smoked Butter Chicken. Incredible flavours, lively pub atmosphere and the cocktails were on point. Worth the drive from Calgary.
