Best Dal Makhani in Winnipeg

(58 reviews)

Delight in the rich, comforting flavors of Dal Makhani, one of North India's most cherished vegetarian dishes. At Tandoor House, we slow-cook black lentils (urad dal) and red kidney beans (rajma) for hours until they're perfectly tender, then finish them with generous amounts of butter, cream, and aromatic spices. This beloved dish is the epitome of comfort food.

Dal Makhani holds a special place in Punjabi cuisine, and at Tandoor House Restaurant & Banquet Hall, we honor this tradition with our authentic preparation. This dish requires patience and care – the lentils and kidney beans are soaked overnight, then slow-cooked for hours until they reach a creamy, velvety consistency.

The magic of our Dal Makhani lies in the slow cooking process and the generous use of butter (makhani means buttery) and cream. We finish the dish with a tempering of aromatic spices, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes, creating layers of flavor that make this simple legume dish absolutely irresistible. Consistently highlighted in customer reviews, it's the perfect vegetarian comfort food that pairs beautifully with naan or rice.

"What a great restaurant! The butter chicken here is phenomenal - creamy, perfectly spiced, and the chicken is so tender. We were not disappointed! Indo-Asian fusion at its best."
