"The Lamb Makhani (Butter Lamb) is astounding. The lamb is super tender and every bite is just a flavor bomb in your mouth. I also love that you can personalize the spice level, as I prefer it spicy and most places don't offer the choice when ordering online. Also love that when my food arrived (it was far so took a good chunk of time) it was piping hot! I will definitely order again."
"The Chicken Tikka Masala was awful, it was watered down as if they accidentally poured a lot of water into the dish. The sauce was extremely thin and flavorless, the chicken was dry. I tried my best but it was just pointless to chew on tough and tasteless food, I threw it in the trash sadly. Never in my life did I think I would say Indian food had No flavor, so disappointed in Begum. The dish did not come with rice, I had to order it separately, which is normally not a problem, but the other two dishes ordered came with rice and the rice portion with those was twice the size of the tiny $7 side of rice! The second worst dish was the Shrimp Coconut. This dish was also very thin / watered down. We did not have to throw this one away, but better quality was still expected. I ordered from Begum years ago when a friend lived in Chatham, it was so very good. The sauces I remember were rich and flavorful, the meat was never tough. After this experience, I can't trust to order from here again :/"

"I was looking for authentic Indian taste and was extremely disappointed! I ordered so much food and unfortunately had to throw away most of it. Don't experiment so much with the dishes that they lose their identity! New Delhi Paneer Makhini was extremely sour and paneer was hard. Punjabi Chana Masala was also too sour and did not represent authentic taste. Butter Chicken Wings smelled bad as if not cooked properly."

"I dont think 5 stars suffices just how amazing this food is I ordered through Door Dash Pickup and decided for the first time to give them a try after walking by so many times on a work night got off and I got the Chicken Vindaloo Garlic Naan and Rice Ive had Chiken Vindaloo that was scolding hot you couldn't really enjoy it and I love spicy food but from here!? AMAZING perfect spice level and tang freshly made I arrived the moment I ordered it via App complete wait time was 20-30 mins you can hear the chef cooking it up blending the spices and peppers taking his/her time freshly making everything from scratch I can tell and I love this place for that some places have pre made sauces which is okay too but who doesnt like a freshly made sauce and ingredients including the Naan with REAL GARLIC I was greeted with respect kindness the entire place is quiet clean spotless open you cant smell anything being cooked to me was surprising coming in which is definitely a plus for me because you dont want to smell like Curry or Spices after you leave I would rate this place 10/10 price to quantity is 1:1 I plan to buy pretty often now"
