"Butter chicken combo tasted bland and watery. Naan was wet and soggy, felt almost undercooked. Goat Bowl with Rice was so skimpy on the goat, with just a bone and small bits of meat. Did not come with yogurt sauce either like I chose. So so disappointing. Would never ever order again. Nasty 🤢"

"I got the Chicken Butter Masala and when I tell you it's so good; very fulfilling. The rice was a smaller portion than I thought it was but it was alright. I didnt finish it because it is a big portion filled to the brim but I definitely will."

" Absolutely love this place! The portions are generous, and the meat is always fantastic. I tried lamb for the first time here, and now I'm hooked. I also appreciate that I can wash and reuse the containers—such a great eco-friendly touch. I've never had a bad experience! The salad with extra meat is a must! "
"Excuse the fact that I already started demolishing this lol. But I literally never leave a review on DoorDash, this is so good that I had to jump on and just leave a review. The pakora fries are CRISPY, the cheese is cheesing (literally like you're a movie theater or baseball game), the meat ratio is incredible. 10/10 will eat again."

"The Havy Grilled Chicken was SO good. Seriously one of the best things I’ve ordered in a while. Super flavorful, cooked perfectly, and just hit the spot. Definitely ordering this again… probably a million times"
"Consistently fresh and delicious! I get the Chicken Shawarma Bowl everytime and the flavors are well-balanced, authentic and the right ratios of ingredients. Unfortunately, I took the posted picture of my meal after I had taken a few bites so the pic may not do it justice. I've also tried the Wombat dessert which I also enjoyed very much. Nicely prepared and appropriate amount of sweetness and texture. Their hummus is excellent too, I like that they garnish it with olive oil, a few whole chickpeas and a mild spice which is subtle and mostly decorative. they serve it with Syrian bread which is crucial and not "pita" bread, which is a thick chewy americanized version of Syrian bread. can't wait to try more items on the menu!"

"Wow! My son and I loved every bite. The portions were very generous too. I would definitely recommend Corn in a Cup - it's a creamy dreamy cup of deliciousness. The carne Asada Fries were amazing and the beef was super tender and flavorful. I don't get a photo of the Pink Taco Flight because we ate them too fast, lol. Check them out soon - we'll be back for sure!"
"This place is amazing! The Cali-Mama Burrito was the best version of a California burrito I've had. The steak was so tender. The Churro Cheesecake Empanadas were to die for! Corn in a Cup is always yummy though I wish it had slightly more lime juice. I got my bf the Churro Fries and Nachos and he ate them all. Said his Churro Fries didn't even need the included caramel and chocolate sauce they were that good. Got us both some Diet Pepsi which is always awesome. The portions and prices are well worth it and everything is definitely homemade which is always a plus. Try out their lunch box meals too for an even better deal."

"I wish I thought of taking a picture before I made the first cut. Because this was beautifully made! Not only does it look beautiful, but it tastes amazing. Also, I think this is one of the only DoorDash orders that I've gotten in which the food is still piping hot like it had just come out of the kitchen! They gave me so much chicken so I can't even complain, the only wish was that there were a little more veggies. So yummy! One of my favorite restaurants for sure! "
"Cheap Chinese buffet quality at hibachi prices. yikes, very disappointing first order from Sawa. the Sweet Potato Tempura was the only roll we liked. the Roasted Peanut Avocado was awful - the peanuts were honey roasted and the cookbook with the avocado was nothing short of foul. the Firecracker (10) roll was fishy in the sort of way that suggests the fish was old. The Edamame , Salmon , and Thai Jasmine Rice were adequate. There are much better sushi options in the area, so skip Sawa and choose one of those."
