Best Dal Makhani in Calgary

About Our Dal Makhani

Dal Makhani is a classic North Indian dish that showcases the art of slow cooking. Black lentils (urad dal) are cooked overnight with aromatic spices, butter, and cream, creating a rich and velvety dish that's both comforting and indulgent. The slow cooking process allows the lentils to break down completely, creating a creamy texture that's simply irresistible.

What makes our Dal Makhani special is the traditional preparation method. We slow-cook the lentils for hours, allowing the flavors to develop fully and the butter to meld perfectly with the spices. The result is a dish that's creamy, rich, and incredibly flavorful - true comfort food that keeps customers coming back for more.
