"Really enjoyed this delivery. I have tried in the past but it's been a while. Very flavorful, not oily, and just enough spice. I ordered the saag paneer and chicken tikka masala. Would order again! "
"The food was authentic. We ordered the chicken tikka, tandoori chicken and lamb biryani they were absolutely on point. The only thing I would recommend is not to put the cabbage salad with the chicken. It was covered in both the chicken dishes, and so the meat was soggy while it should have been well grilled and juicy. It should be served separately"

"I really enjoyed the vegetarian Chinese food here. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and nicely prepared. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and still had a good crunch. The noodles were delicious and had just the right amount of seasoning. The fried rice was tasty and full of fresh vegetables. The sauces had a great balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. The portions were generous and perfect for sharing. I especially loved the overall freshness and presentation of the food. The service was friendly and made the dining experience even better. Definitely a great place for vegetarian Chinese food—I would happily come back again!"

"Fries were undercooked. The chicken gyron was nice size with a great ratio of meat and veggies. However the chicken meat was marinated in hot sauce. Nowhere on the menu does is say the chicen is marinated, seasoned, spiced or in a hot sauce. No options during ordering for spice level either. It's far beyond a mild. Inedible.

"Create Your Own Stir-fry was delicious and a decent size, but kind of light on the amount of protein and veggies compared to the amount of noodles. I don't like ordering drinks over doordash, but the Strawberry Guava Lemonade seemed too interesting to pass up. Tastes like a good, fresh strawberry lemonade. Not sure the guava flavor shone through, though. It's also a bit small."
"Stir-fry was delicious as usual. I got broccoli, zucchini, peas & chicken over brown rice. You can always tell the veggies are fresh, chicken is perfectly cooked bite-size pieces & it's all seasoned just right with the sauce. The new Pomodorini Focaccia was absolutely amazing, what a great addition to the menu. Honeygrow is definitely one of my repeat restaurants on Doordash."
