The Best Butter Chicken in Egypt - A SceneEats Guide
A whole lotta butta.
With its mouth-meltingly creamy texture, butter chicken is the south Asian delicacy that demands spice connoisseur level respect. You spill too much cream into the reddened mixture and everything seemingly falls apart quicker than the Aztec and Incan empires. To master the craft one must embark on long journeys through restaurants of many sunset hues, immerse themselves in the intricacies of the marination process and understand the importance of ginger as both a palette cleanser and essential spice. That said, if what you’re craving is a ready-made and fuss free butter chicken consumption session then these are nine places across Egypt where you can indulge in as much butter chicken as your heart desires…
