"Called the store to see if they would make it right (ordered two steak egg and cheese sandwiches with no steak-this is the second time they did this) and the woman who answered said the only option I had was to order and pay for two more sandwiches (on top of the ones I ordered that were wrong-I paid extra for steak) and she would put extra steak. "
"The sandwich tasted bland. First time that's happened, and while the portion was so-so, it didn't taste necessarily fresh, it just tasted like nothing. I wouldn't order again, may rethink Subway for a while in the future.."

"Total score 5/5 Previous score 4.1 Butter Chicken- 5/5 large portion (I can easily split this into two meals, especially with the sides.) Taste great. Good amount of chicken and veggies, bell pepper and onion. Not too spicy, but wasn't lacking heat. Probably would say it's mild heat wise. NOTE: I think it would help if the items description included the volume the container holds. If all places did this, it would make me more likely to order from here knowing that the portions are larger here. Plain Rice- 5/5. Great rice with a huge portion. A whole styrofoam box full of rice. Taste well seasoned but not too much. Like they used a bit of chicken stock / broth to make it. May wanna ask if you're vegetarian. Mango lassi- 5/5 My previous order, the mango lassi was way too watery, BUT this time it was much better. Creamy with a nice taste of mango. This order, I left instructions to make it thicker. So I don't know if the first time was a one off and it's usually creamy, or if my request made a difference this time. I'm guessing and hoping it was the first option though. NOTE: I would like an option for a larger drink serving. The large portions with the other items leave me with my drink running out about half way through. I REALLY LIKE MANGO LASSI! ȘŲMMÅŘŸ: Great quality. Food was nice and freshly made, it seemed. Portions were a good size, although the mango lassi could use an option for a larger size. Rice and buttered chicken tasted great. (I don't usually get rice, but I've been getting it every time here.) I enjoyed this order more than my last one from them. (Garlic naan and mango lassi were lacking last order. Didn't order naan this time.) As I write this I'm sitting here full and satisfied with enough leftovers to eat another serving later tonight / tomorrow. I GOT THE ITIS (food coma). Like the feeling after eating too much on thanksgiving. Mmmmmm Placed on 12/28/2025 at 7:30ish PM"
"Butter Chicken - Very large portion, more then nearby place. Had onion and bell peppers which was nice. Creamy and not too oily. 5/5 Garlic Naan- good taste, but was kinda flat. 4/5 Mango lassi- I enjoyed the rest of my meal, but the mango lassi just sucked. It was watery and was more like a yellow milk drink. Didn't taste like much yogurt or mango. Portion could be larger too. 2.4/5 Plain Rice- very large portion and great taste 5/5 (Better then other nearby Indian food place) Total score 4.1"
