Butter Chicken At Aslam Chicken
A friend of mine came to visit me a few days ago. As he was here after a very long time, we decided to have dinner outside. We called a mutual friend who lives 30 miles away from my place and agreed to meet at Old Delhi. Old Delhi is very famous because of food and the mighty Jama Masjid which was built by the Mughals.
So, we went there and we had two places in mind, "Qureshi Kebab" and "Aslam Chicken". We had to flip a coin because the odds were not in favor of any restaurant. I flipped the coin and we Aslam Chicken it was. So, we started moving towards the restaurant. It is one of the most crowded places in Delhi and you really have to be careful about your belongings as they might get stolen. We reached the restaurant and I went to the other side of the road to take some pictures.
The restaurant is a five story building with a capacity of over 100 people. As we went inside, they were preparing chicken on a charcoal grill.
Normally, you will have to wait to get a seat if you come in the evening but were very lucky as when we entered, one table was not occupied and we sat there. I have been to Aslam Chicken plenty of times and I have never got a seat in the ground floor. But this time, we did get a seat in the ground floor which felt really great.
Aslam Chicken is famous for it's butter chicken with gravy and almost 95% of the people who visit the restaurant come to eat butter chicken. This is probably the reason why they don't have a menu on the table. We were also there to eat butter chicken so we never asked for the menu. However, I thought it would be nice to add a menu here so I downloaded it online.
I will give the restaurant one star for the cleanliness but I understand that keeping such a crowded restaurant clean is a big deal. Literary, hundreds of people sitting and hundreds of people waiting to get a seat. It is practically impossible to keep the restaurant clean at all times. The ambience isn't great either but we didn't care because we were there to eat the special butter chicken.
So, we ordered two half plates. One of my friends insisted that we should order a soft drink also, so we did that too. We waited for about 10 minutes before our food was on the table. They serve chicken with a lot of gravy. Along with the chicken, they left some onion and green chutney on the table. We also asked for " romali roti" and they handed us with a few.
As we were eating our food, we were talking about how good the chicken was. It is the most delicious butter chicken in entire Delhi. The restaurant could have been cleaner, the staff should have been better but there are absolutely no complaints about the food. It was simply great.
If you happen to visit Old Delhi sometimes, I would recommend this place if you are a fan if butter chicken. The price is also affordable, you will get a full butter chicken for 500 rupees which is nearly equal to $7.
