Both dishes were flavorful and well-prepared—the Khaja Set had a great mix of textures and spices, and the biryani was aromatic with tender chicken and just the right amount of heat. The portion sizes were satisfying, and the presentation was nice too."

"the gravy in the Dal Makhani was so thick and rich it was beautiful. definitely not a spicy dish but delicious all the same. the Aloo Paratha was a little more spicy but very mild if that in my opinion. nice for someone not too adventurous with heat but wanting to try a little bit of heat. I bought the Mint Chutney as I didn't know what the heat levels would be like being my first time at this store but I did not need it. there was less chicken in the Butter Chicken than my partner expected but for me it looked about standard for proper Butter Chicken but could have been a bit more generous. all in all a good meal. I would eat there again :)"
"excellent!! I tried Samosa Chat for the first time and it was delicious , good big chunks of samosa and plenty of sauce & chickpeas. Ideal texture for me as I don't like crispy samosa. I have very weak spice tolerance so it was a little hot for me, but delicious with the Mint Chutney . The Malai Kofta was also a generous portion, mild as requested, with a perfect flavour. The Roti was a little rubbery but it's difficult to package hot bread. Will order again, thanks! "
