Butter Chicken Thali in Redwood City: A Complete Indian Lunch on One Platter

There are days when it’s hard to pick just one Indian dish — you want something creamy, something savory, something fresh, something crispy… and of course something sweet to finish off the meal. That’s where a Butter Chicken Thali comes in handy.

Instead of ordering individual dishes and deciding what goes on the table, a thali brings several flavors together in one meal. At Broadway Masala in Redwood City, the Butter Chicken Thali (rich butter chicken with saag dal makhni raita salad pappad naan gulab jamun) gives you a little bit of everything for lunch: $21.95 dine-in only.

What Makes a Butter Chicken Thali So Special?

The beauty of a thali is its variety.

Butter chicken brings rich tomato-based curry with tender tandoor-roasted chicken. The creamy flavorful curry is the indulgent center piece of the meal. But that’s not where it ends.

You get saag for the savory vegetable part, dal makhni for that comforting lentil richness and raita to provide a cool refreshing contrast to the warm spices; crisp pappad, freshly served naan and salad — suddenly every bite can be different.

And then comes gulab jamun.

That last sweet bite makes the meal feel complete not just full.

One Platter, Multiple Flavors

What makes Butter Chicken Thali so appealing to foodies is how easily you can combine the different elements.

• Have a piece of naan with butter chicken.

• Follow that with a spoonful of dal makhni (lentil curry).

• Have a little raita if you want something cooler and lighter.

• Pappad gives a crisp texture, salad freshness between richer flavours.

This is what makes a traditional Indian thali so fun to eat. You’re not locked into one flavor profile for the whole meal — you can taste everything on the platter from beginning to end.

A Great Choice for an Indian Lunch in Redwood City

If you are looking for an Indian restaurant in Redwood City where lunch could feel more exciting than the usual single entrée then try a thali.

Broadway Masala has several thali options on their lunch menu — Butter Chicken, Lamb Curry, Vegetarian, All Meat, Biryani & Kebab and Veg Biryani. The Butter Chicken Thali is one of the choices for diners who want that familiar comfort of butter chicken with several traditional accompaniments (Broadway Masala)

Why Food Lovers Should Try the Butter Chicken Thali

You Get Variety Without Overthinking Your Order.

Not sure if you want curry or dal or naan or something refreshing on the side? The thali does that for you. Multiple things arrive together so you get a broader taste of Indian cuisine in one meal.

Every Bite Can Be Different.

The fun is in mixing and matching. Dal with naan tastes different from naan with butter chicken. Add raita, salad or pappad — another combination altogether!

It Ends on a Sweet Note.

A meal this tasty deserves dessert. Butter Chicken Thali comes with gulab jamun so you don’t have to order something separate to finish your lunch with something sweet (Broadway Masala).

Best When You Want a Proper Lunch.

Sometimes a quick sandwich or snack just doesn’t feel right. A thali gives you a complete meal — protein, lentils, greens, bread, accompaniments and dessert all together.

Butter Chicken Lovers, This One Is Worth Ordering

If butter chicken is already one of your favourite Indian dishes then the Butter Chicken Thali gives you a chance to try it as part of a much bigger meal.

It’s less about eating a bowl of curry and more about sitting down to see how different textures and flavours work together. Creamy butter chicken, hearty dal makhni, savoury saag, cool raita crisp pappad naan and sweet gulab jamun make a lunch that changes from the first bite to the last.

And because this thali is dine-in only, it’s best when you have time to sit back and dig into the platter rather than rush through it  (Broadway Masala)
