Roti chain’s newest Hamilton location wants to know: How spicy do you like it?
Published June 7, 2023 at 3:32 pm
Butter Chicken Roti has opened a second Hamilton location, daring diners to try its spicy fare — or for the less adventurous, its milder selection of dishes featuring the famous Indian flatbread.
The Indian restaurant chain has six spice levels, from mild, for those who like the flavour rather than the heat, to nuclear hot (it jokes that you may have to “dial 911 if it goes wrong”).
With a passion to bring the best gourmet flavours from east India, Butter Chicken Roti has hit the spot for many with its wrap graced with traditional curries.
It has recently opened its second location in Hamilton at 96 Main Street E., Unit 5.
It’s open Sunday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.
The restaurant specializes in roti, an Indian flatbread created from flour. It has an extensive menu of the famous dish with vegetarian, vegan and non-vegetarian options. The curry and roti can also be eaten as separate dishes on the side.
