    Very tasty food. Its a must try item. The place is usually busy and crowded. But worth the wait i would say. Also they serve only half and full portions of chicken. Not too expensive for the quantity and quality. highly Recommended.

    Have to wait for so long to get a table. Butter chicken was average but it is unique and a must try. Unfortunately the rotis were served slightly cold. But the atmosphere of the restaurant was good.

    This place has come a long way. Just went back here maybe after 6-7 years and the whole look at least on the outside has changed. The signature butter chicken is unlike anyplace else. The place is packed, like sardines in a can. The hygiene and cleanliness however is appalling, I'm surprised how restaurants here pass a clean bill of health. Don't get me wrong, it is delicious but kinda get turned off when you see servers sticking their fingers in your dish. Go here to taste one of the best butter chickens, but ignore anything you know and learnt about cleanliness and hygiene.

    Worst experience of chicken biriyani at aslam chicken.... 1. Coldest biryani I have ever eaten 2. Low quality rice has been used 3. It seems that the biryani was cooked a day before. 4. I complained about it no response from them. 5. And last... The onion ❌❌ was dead... . Please do not go there.... As it is also too much costly Rs. 210 for the coldest half biryani... Tasteless also... Total wastage of money.

    Heard a lot about the butter chicken here and finally got to try it. The butter chicken served is unlike any other. They have succulent tandoor roasted chicken sprinkled with spices which is then bathed in a tub of creamy butter which is mixed with some more spices. Its best eaten with roomali rotis. The dish is quite heavy and cream but tasty nonetheless. Its reasonably prices as well with half plate costing around 330 rs and a roomali roti costs 8 rs. There are other dishes as well such as chicken tandoori, fish tandoori and biryani as well, but the star is ofcourse the butter chicken. The only issue is the seating, they have ground, 1st and 2nd floor, but the staircase is quite narrow and no lift is available.

    A very very popular place near Jama Masjid mainly for kebabs and different food items as well. A very busy restaurant. One has to wait for nearly 10 minutes to get a seat in this restaurant . Their kebabs were just awesome. The pieces of kebabs were very soft and juicy . It's a must try restaurant in Delhi !! Highly recommended !!

    We reached around 1 PM, service was very bad, nobody gave us menu or water. I had to ask them to give us water, even after that they took 15 minutes. Without asking us, the guy came up with butter chicken, and said this is the most famous item here. Butter chicken was dipped in heavy butter and cream, didn't had any gravy. It was like fried chicken dipped in butter. The taste was pathetic, this place is definitely overhyped. Hospitality - 0 Food - 0

    Aslam Chicken - Go With The Name 🍗 As The Name " ASLAM CHICKEN " ,This Famous Tandoori Butter Chicken Specialist Food Joint Is Located On Matia Mahal Road , Near Jama Masjid Gate No - 1 . This Out Of The World Recipes Is Way Totally Different From The Butter Chicken We Eat In Daily Life From Other Restaurant's. Aslam Chicken Has Made It's Very Own Recipes Of Making Butter Chicken Out Of The Blue. To Make This Butter Chicken, First Chicken Is Cut Into Pieces, Then Roasted In Sighri , Then Some Curd Curry Along With Lots Of Melted Butter And Masala Into The Roasted Tandoori Chicken Makes This Recipes 😋 The World's Best Chicken. Over Loaded Crowded Place With Full Of Cravers Of This Chicken. Highly Recommended Place 👌 & To Try Something Different . Calories Conscious Can Avoid This Butterly Place.

    The taste of the chicken is really different. You should definitely taste it. I ordered 2 rumali roti, half butter chicken + water bottle + a dissert which an uncle who was serving on 1st floor recommended me, all these billed 390 rs only.

    Aslam chicken has fame in old Delhi. This restaurant is located in a street infront of Jama masjid. The staff is good and helpful with the very quick service. As they are in huge demand the hygiene in terms of sitting would be less. Coming to the food part they had few options which includes Butter Chicken, fish, chicken seekh kebab, biryani and few veg option. Butter Chicken is majorly in demand. We have ordered half butter chicken, half plate chicken seekh kebab, paneer tikka along with rumali roti and cold drinks. Overall, the food is quite good and you will love it. I used to visit them on frequent visit and if you are a non veg lover you will fall in love with them too. Note - they doesn't accept online payment so kindly bring cash.

  • 5/5 Taste T. 2 years ago on Google
    Taste – 5/5 Portions – 5/5 Service – 5/5 Value for money – 5/5 Serving one of a kind “aslam butter chicken”, this place is located in the streets of jama masjid, old delhi. Finding this place would not be a task at all, since every person walking those streets clearly guides you to the delicacy. Admist the chaos of old delhi, this four storeyed building stands concrete serving this amazing and loved dish since so many years. Amazing taste, affordable prices and great service, this place has it all. The aslam butter chicken is not anywhere close to the typical butter chicken dish when it comes to preparation and taste. This dish is unique in its own way. The marinated chicken is seek charred on open flame and mixed with their homemade spices, curd and lots and lots of melted butter. It is garnished with tomatoes and coriander for that tint of tangy flavours and aroma. Served with rumati roti and masala curd with onions coriander, this meal is sure to give you non vegetation meal goals. The chicken is succulent, the unique taste of the dish is derived by the home made masala and the generous butter poured in. To my surprise, even after adding so much of butter, the dish was not at all extra salty nor was the taste butter dominated. Everything in that bowl complimented the dish and the end bite was nothing less than a flavours paradise. I ended my meal with their phirni and the meal could not have ended any better. This place definitely makes it to the bucket list of all non vegetarians out there.

    Most people think Aslam is overhyped but I believe it deserves to be popular for its unique butter chicken. Even though the amount of butter they use is really unhealthy but you are not eating it everyday. So for anyone who is going to Jama Masjid for the first time, they must try this place at least once.

    Best butter chicken that you could taste in the entire Delhi. Taste - 5/5 Cleanliness - 2/5 Seat availability, space - 1/5 But it’s overcrowded at all times. If possible, please ignore weekend visits as it would be quite difficult for you to find a place to sit.

    It's quite a nice place but it's not hygienic and family friendly too. Chicken taste was good it was perfectly cooked but the issue was the cashier, he was asking for cash and hid the bar code below the menu card or telephone on the reception, don't pay cash they are taking cash so that they don't pay tax. I do like the chicken but i didn't like the behavior of the cashier and the ambience.

    Well, me and my family visit Aslam Chicken last week in December. Place was so exhausted. One of my family members has to get out of the restaurant because she couldn't breathe properly. Maybe it's because the blowers were on. The food was good not that delicious mouthwatering but it was ok. The staff is friendly and the leader of the staff team is always there on the floor.

    What a taste. First time I had cousin like Butter Chicken. The dish was full of butter, cream and chicken. No extra Indian masala. Only roasted chicken with butter. Half butter chicken is enough for two person. I must say try once. I will not forget the taste.

    No doubt butter chicken was awesome! But the only problem here is, they don't accept any type of online/UPI/card payment,.! They only deal in cash, so the next time you go there make sure you take some cash with you Also avoid going there on weekends, Otherwise you have to be in long queue and also the serving staff is very rude, they don't even care about their customers.

    Heard a lot about this place on the internet, specially from food vloggers. Visited in November when I was in Delhi. I won't tell it's the best Butter Chicken I had ever tasted but it's actually quite different. I actually liked the taste so much I have tried it out myself at home. Would love to visit again.

    Walking distance from Jama Masjid Metro station Gate 1, any word put in for appreciation of Aslam chicken would be less. It such a nice place to eat. The butter compliments the chicken really nicely. It is a must try. Although i would suggest to take half plate for two people. I loved the sikh kabab. And the rumali rotis were also good. Not a very healthy option but definitely worth eating when you visit Jama Masjid.

    This Instagram sensation restraunt has been on many people go to list, i also went with full expectations and would say was not disappointed. If you are looking for something different than your normal butter chicken then you should visit it once. If you are a vegetarian this place is not for you. It was jam packed as expected but we were lucky enough to be seated without waiting The service is quick and overall hygiene was little compromised Their most famous butter chicken does not disappoint you but does not even properly meet the expectations as after a point of time your mouth is full only with butter. I wouldn’t be going again maybe but I would surely recommend it for one time visit.

    This restaurant(in photos) is at different location ,what Google is showing. Infront of Haji mohd.Hussain chicken shop. But both are from the same owner.l(aslam chicken) This restaurant is newly constructed. Butter Chicken is very famous and tasty too. Mostly people come for ButterChicken only. The taste was very delicious as was the hype created by Food Vloggers. You have to wait to get a table. After doing order you will again have to wait for 10 to 12 minutes. Price is very reasonable.

    Always crowded, expect seat sharing. Good thing is they have good management and enough space so distribute customers. Tried their famous butter chicken with roomali roti, wasn't disappointed. It's literally dipped in butter so if you are health conscious please avoid. Quite economical. Would visit again. Worth it.

  • 5/5 Arpit A. 2 years ago on Google
    Butter Chicken literally. You won't get such amazing buttery chicken anywhere else. They are different and really good at it. Must try for non veg lovers for sure.

    BUTTER CHICKEN !!!!! BUTTER CHICKEN !!!!! and only BUTTER CHICKEN This place has a very very limited menu I guess they only have butter chicken and kebab. Limited menu, but an expert at what they do Service was fast and polite In breads they only have rumali roti and its good enough Will recommend every chicken fan And if you love butter and chicken both, then this is a paradise for you.

    Looking for best and tastiest chicken your search will end here. Old iconic and best place for chicken lover this place doesn't need any introduction last here I have been here for the first time and from then I am in love with the taste of their chicken but this time they made me disappointed. This is really famous and really demanding shop and that is the reason they all are in so hurry that they forget to cook it properly last time I visited here and it was so crowded I wait for around half n hr then I got seat and when my order arrived it was undercooked I would not complain to taste but the quality of this iconic place is decreasing may be because of demand so If you are going here avoid going in evening time because then you will have to wait and get undercooked chicken go in afternoon you will get seats easily and you can ask them to cook your chicken properly.

    A very lowkey restaurant. Sitting space is narrow, food presentation is almost negligible but taste and quantity was fantastic. Try all the local cuisine, you won't regret it. Try to visit on workdays that too late nights otherwise this place is very packed. Must try butter chicken and kebabs

    Aslam Chicken offers an excellent culinary experience with very good food taste; however, concerns about hygiene, overcrowding, and a non-functional AC diminish the overall experience. The restaurant's ambiance can be stifling, especially during summers, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere for patrons. Addressing these issues, including improving hygiene standards, managing crowds, and fixing the AC, would significantly enhance the dining experience at Aslam Chicken.

    Aslam's famous Butter Chicken is worth trying. The Butter Chicken is delicious albeit extremely unhealthy. There usually is some wait in between batches where food is served. The restaurant spreads over mutli-stories and is kept relatively clean. However it does tend to get bit over-crowded and chaotic.

    The hype is worth trying it. The place is super small very narrow and I had to wait for 15 minutes to get a seat. Tried their famous butter chicken which was genuinely good and also tried their seekh kebabs which were average.

    If you love chicken you're gonna love this place... But Taste- 10/10 Cleanliness- 4/10 Seats availability- 2/10 Due to overcrowded you have to wait for you order to come atleast 20 mins or more after you order.

  • 1/5 Sachin N. 3 months ago on Google New
    I ordered famous butter chiken and chiken seekh kebab.. here butter chiken means alot of butter and roasted chiken ..where is masala ????.. overhyped and utterly disappointing.. seekh kebab was fine . I just ate 2 pieces of butter chiken and left the remaining. Waiter was least intrested to serve , roti came much after getting the main dish.. cold drink I had to take myself from fridge.. come to mumbai I have much better eateries..🙏 OVERHYPED AND JUST FOOD WITH BUTTER....nothing much..

    Aslam chicken is a famous restaurant in Delhi. It is situated near to Juma Masjid. The butter chicken is the famous dish served here. It is served with roti. This is a crowded restaurant. You could see people standing in queue to get in to the restaurant. This building has 4 floors. But still its crowded. We got seat at the rooftop.

  • 5/5 ASHWANI K. 6 months ago on Google
    Today I visited this outlet with my friends we ordered chicken korma, tandoori chicken & butter chicken and chicken biryani with mutton kabab.The best thing i found here was their way of catering the customers , also the staff was so quick & agile in serving the dishes & managing other things as well . Talking about the food it was well cooked , like the chicken was so tender & all of the dishes cooked & served are so well-prepared in vivid flavours . I would recommend you guys to please order butter chicken I'm sure you'll like its taste, All an all we had a nice experience of enjoying brilliantly cooked nonveg food in this world renowned restaurant .

  • 3/5 Abhishek Y. 5 months ago on Google
    I found this place a bit overhyped. I ordered their signature dish butter chicken which is loaded with butter .No gravy no spices just chicken and butter.Moreover they serve chicken which is not even cleaned and fresh. In order to reach the location don't follow directions via Google map it will land you somewhere else just reach Jama masjid and restaurant is located near it.

  • 3/5 hashim K. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is fine and it's known for its chicken tikka but the taste has decreased as comparison to past when they serve with love and full of taste now the money matters. But still the taste is not faded entirely you would like from other food points. Happy chicken

  • 1/5 Anirudh S. 5 months ago on Google
    Pathetic butter chicken, I ordered half Aslam butter chicken and chicken korma with rumali roti. Goodness that famous (I don't know how and why) chicken was dry, served cold and tasted wierd. Korma had oil and spices in 2:1 ratio (I'm not joking). Ate first piece of butter chicken but couldn't gather courage to get to the second one. I thought maybe I can just have korma with roti, but I couldn't commit suicide. Hey don't get me wrong I wasn't there to have a super healthy food but that korma had "cardiac arrest" written all over. People if you are going there after reels and shorts, save yourself the trouble navigating through the sea of human heads for this overrated joint.

  • 5/5 ANURAG C. 5 months ago on Google
    Typical North Indian flavour.. Their signature dish is Butter Chicken which is prepared differently from traditional butter chicken. It's marinated grilled chicken dipped in tons of butter, sprinkled with chat masala. It tasted awesome. Before coming here forget calorie counter at home and enjoy the lip smacking butter chicken. Definitely worth visiting. I had lunch here chicken was tender and fresh. To reach here, never come in car, board a metro and hire a rickshaw. PS: You can't have it frequently because it is overloaded with butter 😋

  • 4/5 Nabeel K. 8 months ago on Google
    The taste of butter chicken was not at all the taste we find everywhere they have different type of dishes. Ambiance is good service is good but rates and taste was not appropriate according to me. Half Butter chicken costs 390. Location was nice
