Review summary
Updated on Apr 2026- Flavor: Many loved the authentic Indian spices and rich sauce, though some found it too spicy or intense for their taste.
- Ease of prep: Customers appreciate the convenience of just microwaving for 2-3 minutes, perfect for busy days and work lunches.
- Suggestions: Adding sour cream, coconut milk, or naan helps balance the spice; some wanted more sauce and less turmeric.
- Portions: Most found it filling, but many wished for more chicken pieces and less rice for better protein balance.
- Texture: Chicken can become rubbery when microwaved too long; reducing cook time by 30 seconds helps maintain tenderness.
Reviews from our home cooks
Delicious Butter Chicken! I was a little concerned that it might be bland, but it was perfectly seasoned. I made raita to go with and had cilantro chutney from the other night which certainly added to the experience. The meal is not as small as the frozen Indian entrees I sometimes purchase. There was a nice healthy portion of turmeric rice and the right amount of chicken, peas and sauce. Just perfect!
Super Fast and Easy! I love the addition of the Ready Made meals. The Butter Chicken with Rice is really savory and perfect for a late evening dinner when there is no time to cook.
I was recently introduced to this dish at a restaurant and immediately fell in love. This heat and eat was such a treat! I didn't have to prepare it but was able to take it to work and have it for lunch. I loved this for me. Please expand the heat and eat option for my eat-in work lunch options.
I'm a complete wuss when it comes to spicy food. While normal people wouldn't consider butter chicken spicy, my eyes and nose will start running. Despite that, I order it every week. I wish we could buy the pita bread separately because I'll add the hummus just to get the bread. It's good with the butter chicken and helps me cut the heat a bit. This is probably my favorite thing from Hello Fresh because it's fast, easy, and really good
The flavor was delicious, and just the right amount of sauce. Would improve by adding more chicken so that it doesn't feel like a rice bowl with peas. Other than that, the flavor was on point, and everything cooks very well (chicken wasn't dry, rice wasn't crunchy)
The flavor of the Butter Chicken with Rice was good but there wasn't enough chicken. At under 500 calories, this dish is not sufficient calorically for an entree. Otherwise it was good and so very easy to prepare-which we liked!
A little of a kick that I wasn't expecting, but I've always wanted to try butter chicken and now I can say I like it!
I love butter chicken and have made it from scratch. I had more options for spices that I used to marinate the chicken to give it even more flavor than what I tasted in this particular ready-to-cook dish. I love the convenience of these ready-made meals because they are so convenient on days I don't want to cook, but I realize that with some, I'm missing out on more flavor.
Very spicy, more than just turmeric & more than I expected from Butter Chicken. Likes the portion & consistency, rice was perfectly done, but just too spicy.
Definitely spicy. Didn't realize when ordering but the flavor was good. Butter chicken made me assume it would be kid friendly but it wasn't.
