The vegetarian sister to our world-famous Butter Chicken Poutine. Crispy fries are smothered in a velvety paneer makhani sauce with soft cubes of fresh paneer and squeaky cheese curds — just as comforting, just as crave-worthy.
Born from popular demand, the Paneer Makhani Poutine is our vegetarian twist on the Chef Paaji signature. We slow-cook a velvety paneer makhani sauce with butter, cream, tomato, fenugreek and warming spices, then add soft cubes of fresh paneer for that perfect bite.
Hand-cut crispy fries soak up every drop of the rich gravy, while squeaky cheese curds melt over the top. Finished with cilantro and a swirl of cream, it is the vegetarian comfort dish Winnipeg's plant-forward eaters didn't know they needed.

"Finally a vegetarian poutine that doesn't feel like an afterthought. The paneer makhani gravy is silky and the curds are properly squeaky. My new go-to in West End."

"Better than the butter chicken poutine in my opinion! Rich, creamy, and the paneer is so fresh. Chef Paaji nailed the vegetarian version."
