What people say, in short
Daryaganj's butter chicken attracts repeated recommendations as well as substantial dissent. Delhi-wide brand recommendations are pooled here on the explicitly recommended Aerocity outlet. One diner calls it their top choice, while another praises a meal at Connaught Place. Other commenters find the brand average, inconsistent or overpromoted. One diner says its butter chicken would not make their list of good versions, while another considers it good but no longer the best. Dal makhani is a separate suggestion from one commenter, without a named outlet.
