Three Signature Dishes to Try at KDT Restaurant in Chilliwack

• By KDT Restaurant

At KDT Restaurant, we love to combine authentic Indian flavors with fresh, wholesome ingredients for dishes that are as satisfying as they are memorable. Today, we want to highlight three of our signature dishes that guests can’t stop raving about.

Butter Chicken: Our lighter, homemade Butter Chicken is crafted without heavy cashew pastes, making it a delicate yet flavorful option. The tender chicken soaks in a creamy tomato-based sauce with the perfect hint of spice, offering comfort and richness without weighing you down. Pair it with our fresh naan or fluffy basmati rice for a meal that feels like home in every bite.

Lamb Korma: Experience the richness of soft, melt-in-your-mouth lamb simmered in a luxurious, creamy curry. Each bite delivers a harmonious blend of aromatic spices and smooth texture that will have you savoring every mouthful. It’s the perfect choice for guests who love a curry that’s indulgent but balanced, ideal for sharing or enjoying on its own.

Kadai Chicken: For those who enjoy bold flavors with a touch of creaminess, our Kadai Chicken is a must-try. Made with tender chicken thighs, it strikes the perfect balance of succulent meat and savory sauce. The fresh bell peppers and hand-blended spices add depth and vibrancy, creating a dish that is as visually appealing as it is satisfying.

Each dish at KDT Restaurant is carefully prepared with love and attention to detail. From selecting the freshest ingredients to balancing traditional Indian spices with modern culinary techniques, we ensure every meal is an unforgettable experience.

Fresh Ingredients, Local Partnerships: How KDT Sources Quality Produce

• By KDT Restaurant

At KDT Restaurant, the heart of our cooking begins long before a dish reaches the kitchen. It starts with the ingredients we choose — fresh, local, and thoughtfully sourced. We believe that quality food comes from quality ingredients, and that's why we’ve built strong relationships with local producers who share our values of freshness, integrity, and community.

One of our most important partnerships is with a local dairy in Chilliwack, where we source our dahi (yogurt) and paneer. Fresh dairy makes a world of difference in Indian cooking, from creamy marinades to rich curries, and the quality of these ingredients allows us to serve dishes that taste both authentic and vibrant. The paneer holds its shape beautifully while remaining soft, and the dahi brings a naturally smooth texture to our sauces and appetizers.

For our vegetables, we work closely with local growers including farms in our area (such as Badyal Farms) that provide fresh, seasonal produce. Whether it’s crisp bell peppers for our Kadai dishes, fresh spinach for Palak Paneer, or vibrant herbs for garnishing, sourcing locally ensures every dish is full of color, nutrition, and flavor.

By choosing local suppliers, we not only support our community but also ensure that your meals are made with ingredients that are harvested at their peak. It’s a difference you can taste. Freshness that’s natural, clean, and full of character.

Garden of Curries: KDT’s Delicious Vegetarian & Vegan Options

• By KDT Restaurant

Indian food has always been one of the best places for vegetarian and vegan eaters to explore, and here at KDT Restaurant in Chilliwack, we’re proud to keep that tradition alive. Our plant-based dishes are made with the same homemade spices, fresh vegetables, and slow-cooked techniques that define North Indian comfort food.

One of our most loved dishes is our Dal Makhni, creamy, rich, and simmered low and slow until the lentils become buttery and smooth. It’s the kind of dish that warms you from the inside out, especially when paired with naan fresh off the tandoor.

Another favourite is our Palak Paneer, made with fresh spinach and soft paneer sourced locally. It’s vibrant, nutritious, and packed with flavour without being heavy. A perfect go-to for anyone looking for something wholesome.

And of course, there’s the classic Aloo Gobi: tender potatoes and cauliflower seasoned with our in-house masala blend. It’s a simple dish, but when it’s done properly, it becomes one of the most comforting curries on the menu.

Many of our vegetarian dishes are naturally vegan, gluten-free, and made without shortcuts. Whether you're fully plant-based, looking for healthier comfort food, or just exploring something new, our vegetarian selection is colourful, satisfying, and made with care from scratch.
