Big Forkers Hunt for the Best Butter Chicken in Delhi | Moti Mahal vs Daryaganj |
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Join The Big Forkers on a mouth-watering investigative journey through Delhi as we hunt down the ultimate butter chicken! It's a battle of the most legendary restaurants of arguably one of the most famous dishes in the world. We taste them all and crown what we believe is the best Butter Chicken in Delhi and probably the World.
We also decided to take on the case between Daryaganj and Moti Mahal which revolves around a legal battle over the rightful ownership and use of the term "Butter Chicken." Moti Mahal, an iconic restaurant established in Delhi in 1947, claims to have invented the famous dish. Daryaganj, a newer establishment, asserts that their founders were the original creators and have the right to the legacy. The dispute has escalated into a court case, with both parties presenting historical evidence and testimonials to validate their claims. The outcome will determine not only who gets the official recognition but also who can market their culinary heritage as the true originator of Butter Chicken.
The Big Forkers took the decision into their own hands and made their opinion known in this video. They have also asked some of their friends to lean into this decision:
Who will win the butter chicken battle? Watch and find out

Exactly the same reaction I had eating Moti Mahal butter chicken, lmao. Invented the dish and then forgot how to cook.
So true...never going back to that place.
You guys do it every single time. Simply superb! I am a vegetarian, but I love watching all your videos and this one was just outstanding. It has become a tradition that I need to have a plate full of food while watching your videos. It is an absolute pleasure witnessing your love and passion for food!
Awe, thanks bud
Thanks for the lovely comment Rishil
For real bhai 😂
As a progressive Delhiite I have no problem with Shanky eating fried rice with butter chicken.
It's still a crime in some countries
I love fried rice with butter chicken 😊@@TheBigForkers
As a conservative Delhite i totally support eating fried rice with butter chicken
Love the banter in the comments
No one was eating this combination until Shanky mentioned it. Now all you guys have opinions on it. WTF?
As a mallu myself…totally understand shankys obsession with egg fried rice and butter chicken bro…absolutely a killer combo…delicious!!!😋
Share the same obsession as a Bong. 😊
I love it as a Mumbaiwalla
Shanky fan club
You folks have great taste 😋👍👌🎉🎊
Only Chef Saransh got it right. It's the invitation in Ashok Vihar, especially their boneless version, where they pull apart tandoori chicken so that every part is covered in that rich gravy. It pairs very well with the butter naan, which is garnished with dry coconut. Only true foodies of Delhi know the other two places, as they are not in tourist areas.
We have to try it. Though the dry coconut has me worried
The genuine friendship between you two is the absolute best part of all of this. Love it, make more! I'm absolutely loving this whole food tour series, please keep doing more of these! However it does also make me ridiculously hungry 😇
Sid and Shanky are first cousins
Thanks for the kind words
In the vibrant tapestry of Delhi's culinary heritage, Butter Chicken reigns supreme-an epic saga of tender poultry enveloped in a luxurious cloak of creamy, spice-infused richness, embodying centuries of flavor and tradition- thank you guys, memories relived! Love from Doha 🇶🇦 Qatar!
Nice writing
@@TheBigForkers shukraan!!! 🙏
Excellent English writing skills
CHATGPT ASF!!!! xd
🤓🤓
Ever since the last 2 weekends, I have been grabbing a cold one and watching your videos. It's incredibly fun!
Glad you like them!
that makes two of us!
Summary:
1) Havmore
2) Gulati
3) Daryganj
4) Moti Mahal
Sid : I am only watching you,
I am only watching you,
I am only watching you.
Shanky : ………
Sid : fuck it ill try once.
Epic stuff
Hahaha it happens often
What can I say :)
Havmore everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
Agreed 👍
Butter chicken at
Invitation ( ashok vihar)
Mama s (rajender nagar)
Gulshan (shahdra)
Are the underrated ones must try
Thanks for sharing
Im a Dilli wala vegetarian and yet the way you have presented chicken of havmore is amazing
Can we remove these Mumbaiwalas from this comparison?
Man there is no such thing as a Mumbaiwala or a Delhiwala , it is all a naive thing
Nobody removes anyone, they should know what Delhi is cooking lmao
I agree, these Mumbaiwalas who make dal tadka with curry leaves. 😂
@@anurag123B curry leaves se bhi problem hai?
@@kaay358 Dilli waley dhabo ki daal fry mein curry leaves nahi dalti. Amti madhey takli nahi taar sambar madhey takli tar theek ahey. 🙂
I’m 50 and have been having chicken all over Delhi . Both these at Panadra road have changed their butter chicken numerous times over a period . However both of them are not famous for butter chicken . Olsen says when they were small dhabas their desi chicken curry was the only thing they sold .
The original butter chicken of Delhi remain Moti mahal / Jama Masjid road , old Delhi .
However - one of the best chicken curries is - Rajender da dhaba next to the old Kamal cinema complex in Safdarjung enclave . Try it ! You will thank me .
Cheers
Rajendra is no longer good. I'm 47 and Havemore and Pandara are the golden standard. Did you see the testimonials at the end of the video
Why people not liking this content? You guys are amazing.
We have a quality audience, is how we cry and tell ourselves :)
Did both of you tried all these butter chicken same day or was there a gap of a day or two ?
If yes then doesnt it effect your judgement while rating since all the day you have been consuming the same food ?
But that's the idea na. Eat it all at the same time so you can objectively differ between them. Well that's what we went with and I think we did a fair comparison. Haina?
The ultimate guide to Butter Chicken, they should make this part of culinary school curriculum. Minus of course the egg fried part of course 😀😀
Culinary schools may need to update their curriculum with a Butter Chicken guide, minus the egg fried part, of course!
Mr Bigforkers...can you do a segment for Biryani in Kolkata and Hyderbad like you did for Butter chicken in Delhi, with people listing their favourites at the end ?!! PLEASE !!
Most certainly....
@@TheBigForkers Thank you for doing what you guys do ! I wish Indian food was presented this way more.
The owner of house of mandarin in the end lol
😂
Saw this video 2 months ago in Germany. Finally having Havemore butter chicken and commenting from the restaurant. So so good!
Amazing!
+1 for fried rice with butter chicken. Would love to see Kunal & Cyrus as guests on a future episode.
Lets ask them
Huh.,.
I think butter chicken needed an episode with two clear comparisons and opinions form those many foodies.,.
Feels like a complete episode
Cheers
House of mandarin!!! An unexpected collab😂😂😂
Hahahaha
Rachel you legend
Kindly try KUMAR Butter Chicken Moti Nagar , New Delhi , adjacent to Natraj Cinema.
House of Mandarin owner at the end, EPIC!
She is such fun
The food still sucks
Love to see how honest they were about the food…
Cheers, only way we know how to do this
Love your content since day 1, House of Mandarin collab was pure nostalgia
Keep it up!!
Hahahaha, thanks for watching and being part of this tribe for so long
You guys are an awesome duo. Vivacious, fantastic content, humour in the videos.
Rocky-Mayur and HOMP and the shows that followed featuring both of them were my go to shows.
My limited observation from watching your videos makes me believe that you guys love Antony bourdain. It has that but of that 'chaap'.
Nice to have new bunch of foodies dishing out content in their own inimitable way! Cheers guys! 🤟🤟🤟
We are being us, but yes we too feel this is in the same vein as Bourdain.
What’s the background music used? It’s just amazing!!!
This is by far the best food review I have ever watched ❤
Great video guys! The "yeeaaah" at around 4 min 24 secs sounds like lead singer and guitarist of Metallica, James Hetfield's "yeeaaah " he does while singing😂
Hahahaha quite the catch
On my last Visit to Delhi In April This year we went to Darya ganj in Gurgaon i think sector 87 same plaza where Karim is,The butter chicken was not good at all.I was not Happy with their chicken Tikka also.
@@kamaljitwadhawan191 Did you try the Original or Today's?
U can also try the butter chicken of kays pitampura. I m sure it will the fair competition to others
Thanks for the recommendation! we will check it out.
My favourite butter chicke was from a small shack called Sanjaa in Bund Garden, Pune ... tonnes of absolutely great memories. It has to be a tandoori chicken which is deboned and then blended into the gravy for me and I prefer it with plain tandoori rotis :) Fabulous episode guys you brought back a tonne of memories
Thanks Kurush
What garden?hhhhe
Just curious if you tried from original Moti Mahal in Daryaganj? I still have great memories about the place..Gulati over Havemore for me..Rajinder Da Dhaba also serves yummy butter chicken..❤
OG us really awful now
I support butter chicken with chicken & egg fried rice 🫡… It’s a combo you can’t miss 😋
My man🍺👍
Best episode till date
Nice one bro. You should do one episode on fried rice v/s naan with butter chicken
Thanks for the idea!
@@TheBigForkers 😂
I m from Delhi and I never experienced butter chicken so closely but by watching your video I think and feel that Havemore butter chicken looks more tempting 😊
You should definetyl go and try it
My favs in delhi for butter chicken
1. National cp
2. Gulati pandara
3. Sanjha chula kailash colony
Thanks for sharing...more options are always better
Moti Mahal is also heavily franchised, it is possible you guys ordered from a franchisee who doesn't care as much. Just my two cents.
Quite possibly so. But that's a brand and quality management issue then.
I was born in Darya ganj....there was one peshawari restaurant adjacent to Moti Mahal... with same quality
Mumbai butter chicken : boiled chicken in tomato gravy !
The one you have to try - the only one comparable to Havemor is Pal Dhaba in Chandigarh.
As someone who has been on many a quest to find a great one, that’s top tier.
Shanky and I nearly had our arse blown out after a meal at Pal's dhaba
havemore is the best. Way he explained Moti mahal was so true
Butter chicken fried rice gang assemble 🤤
Please dont encourage Shanky
Havemore Gang approves!! Fried rice and butter chicken is bomb. and if you want to get blown away try Veerji in naiwala market for their tawa meat.
We have heard about its legend. Next trip
I am glad you guys are back.
Good to be creating content again
When Sid started tasting Moti Mahal at 13:47 he said BC in a neutral accent. However, at 14:04 the way he says BC sounded more like Pancho closer to the city's food you're reviewing, precisely, the Punjabi way of saying it.
The power of Punjabi food
The giant has good knowledge of food, meat with bones... identifies correct stuff and knows what would Delhi people like. Gentle giant (GG).
Also these days cloud kitchens are making phenomenal bc , should try it some time.
The Giants name is Sid :)
You guys are amazing good stuff, being a vegetarian would love videos on vegetarian food also although I have not seen all the content in the channel, will go through! Very nice video
There are a few, very few, but there
Bhai kya jindgi hai Dilli ka butter chicken maze hi maze , Dilli ka seekh kababs maze hi maze, dilli ka korma aur nihari maze hi maze 😋
woooohooooo my favourite havemore is ranked the best! hands down the BEST butter chicken ever
i fw these guys heavy‼️‼️‼️‼️the best out there 🪩
Thank You
General consensus of some south Delhi guys -Best really is havemore ....Also goila bc is average,try bhookemon,sandos ... They are different but really good.
Always more to try. But Havemore has always been a Delhi standard. North or South Delhi.
The Moti Mahal you’ve tried is the one which happens to be at the same place where Gujral & Jaggi started but it isn’t owned or operated by anyone from the either family.
The Gujral owned Moti Mahal is known as Moti Mahal Delux!
I’m surprised how the producer looked over this fact.
Food was brought from Moti Mahal Delux. As you can see on the box. Footage showed the original one for context sake.
The nation wants to see more of Sid vs Shanky episodes!
Thanks Vinay
Need these episodes in at least 2K! 🙃
Cheers
17:10 whats the name of the restaurant in rajouri garden ?
You guys NEED to try butter chicken from ‘in the Punjab’ in Delhi. It is next level.
Will try it next time
You guys never disappoint. Entertaining always 💐💐
Thank you
House of mandarin owner unexpected 🤣🤣🙏🏻
Amazing video guys... And I'm with Shanky, I like to eat butter chicken with fried rice ❤
Lots of team Shanky folks on this comment section :)
You guys are the best !!!
Thanks
The content keeps getting better
Thank You
8:20 Mumbaikar Shanky experiences flavours for the first time
He did
Disclaimer: No Gujaratis were harmed in the video. All sweet prejudice stems from Meethi Dal, which is considered to be blasphemy.
Hahaha, true
Saw the thumbnail and thought you guys were rocky and mayur 😅
We sent this message to them....they are the OG's
It feels like I'm the one eating the food. You both are great ❤️.
Thank you 😋
Love to both my brothers ❤
Hey guys,
I tried the Butter Chicken at Khyber in Mumbai. Very un-Mumbai like. Try it out.
we will thanks @shanky
Moti Mahal butter chicken, i have tried all 3 but i prefer Moti Mahal.
First comment for Moti Mahal :)
I love these videos!! Watching from Austin, Texas
Hey Nick, thanks for watching
Damn I’m watching from Austin Texas as well. Small world
Awesome, I did a short series from Austin. Covered a few spots including Franklins BBQ. With my friend Adi.
Man the big guy sounds like boman irani but two absolute legends in the video
Hahaha will share this with him
tbh it depends on moti mahal’s outlet, the south ex one is pretty good also you guys should try butter chicken from sandoz cp (L block)
Will try that out
Real food journalism.
Cheers, just sharing our thoughts on it
The after credit scenes- shows the depth of community. Loved it, dk why the fuck aren’t you guys are blowing up
Good things take time I guess, we're are also gobsmacked
Try baba butter chicken. Delhi/ludhiana Yellow butter chicken
M the owner of MOTI MAHAL DELUX DWARKA CITY CENTRE MALL SECTOR 12.. PLEASE COME AND HAVE OUR BUTTER CHICKEN ITS DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER MOTI MAHAL AND ITS THE BEST
Hi Abhi, cool, will try and tell folks to try ity. Im sure its better than what we ended up eating.
Loveddd this episode 😂😂
Thanks for watching
Hehehe...kya debate ched ji sir....i've been to Havemore, Gulati's and Daryaganj. For me, Havemore has the best Butter Chicken hands down. My home town is around 200 k's from delhi.
yay for team Havemore
2024 is a new generation eating NAZEER and Kake Ka Dhaba for butter chicken in Delhi
Being a mumbaikar who has eaten butter chicken in delhi i would choose havemore
welcome to team Havemore
The best butter chicken I’ve had in my life is from Pelican Pub here in Mysore, Karnataka. I’m Mysorean and I’m sorry that’s about as far as my horizons go because I haven’t travelled at all. Every Saturday from 1999-2002, my dad would pick me up from school and we’d drive to Pelican Pub to get our routine takeout order of butter chicken and chilly chicken. Good times.🤌🏻✨✨
I would love to try it
Chicken Inn by a long mile. Wonderful citrusy undertone which cleans your palate with every morsel. Pity the forkers were so close and didnt try it out.😢
next time
Havemore pandara road was my fav too till I tried Baba's butter chicken in Ludhiana
Would love to try it
One more Rockey n Mayur 😅
Thank god he eat with fried rice in the end 🙃
Why is the camera in this season always smudged😐😐
We used 3 different FX6 with multiple lenses. The statistical probability of every camera and lense being smudged in in the 1 in 10's of millions.
@@TheBigForkers producer bhai needs new filters.apologies if offensive🫡🫡
Loved the previous vids contrasting and clarity❤️
Saala producer ko marte hai...:)
None taken bro
What??? Gujratis eating butter chicken bro your info is so wrong Gujaratis if Mumbai are mostly vegetarian and jains. So don't make such racist comments.
Gujjus are a race?
And learn a joke or two ....smile
Racist comments don't bring a smile. It's a total misconception that all Gujju food is sweet. Kathiawadi food is not at all sweet it's spicy has garlic and has a lot of chillies.
It's a gluttony show. 😂😂😂
Havemore is the best. Good choice
Thanks for the love! Havemore for the win!
Havemor makes the best butter chicken. Like they should be given the title “makers of best butter chicken”
True
They just settled the butter chicken debate fair and straight
Janhit mein jaari
Love your content!!!
Thank you so much for your support!
Goilas Butter Chicken too sweet and they are stingy with the portion....in Mumbai I wld lik to recommend butter chicken in Delhi Darbar, Colaba (don't confuse it with Jafferbhai's Delhi Darbar)
Guju's love spicy food......we don't over sweeten our food!!!!!! GRRRRR come Gujurant and try to real momma's cooking
It's just a running joke about Gujarat man
Delhi tote bag
When it came ???
Havemore - OG 🔥
