About Our Paneer Makhani

At Royal Bistro, our Paneer Makhani is crafted from a cherished Punjabi recipe that has made us a favourite among vegetarian diners across Duncan and the Cowichan Valley. Fresh, firm paneer cubes are gently simmered in our signature makhani gravy — a slow-cooked blend of ripe tomatoes, aromatic spices, butter, and cream that delivers a sauce both luxuriously rich and beautifully balanced.

Paneer Makhani, also known as Paneer Butter Masala, is one of the crown jewels of North Indian vegetarian cuisine. Our commitment to using freshly made paneer and traditionally ground spices ensures every bite is bursting with authentic flavour, keeping our vegetarian guests coming back time and again.

Why Our Paneer Makhani Stands Out

What sets our Paneer Makhani apart is the quality of our paneer — soft and fresh, never rubbery — and the depth of our makhani sauce, built patiently from scratch with whole spices and vine-ripened tomatoes. Each serving is made to order, ensuring the perfect harmony of creaminess, gentle spice, and the subtle sweetness that defines an authentic makhani gravy.
