I was really disappointed with my experience at Urban Turban in Malmö, especially because I had high expectations for the food. Being from the region where butter chicken originated, I know this dish and its flavours very well. I specifically asked the attendant to request that the chef prepare it in the Indian style, which is marked as an “Urban Turban Special” on the menu. Unfortunately, what I received was nowhere close to what I expected. It was essentially chicken chunks in a very chilli-heavy sauce. I honestly cannot remember having such a disappointing butter chicken in my life. Butter chicken should be rich, creamy and balanced, with layers of flavour. Authentic Indian food is not simply about making a dish spicy or adding more chilli. It is about the depth and balance of spices and flavours. I was also expecting someone from the kitchen, ideally the chef, to come and ask for feedback, especially since I had specifically requested the dish to be prepared differently. Unfortunately, that never happened. If you are looking for authentic Punjabi/Indian food, my advice would be to clearly explain to the chef what you expect before ordering. For me, this particular dish was a major disappointment and unfortunately did not live up to the expectations I had from the restaurant.
