| - We have been to the Fort Mill location several times, tried several dishes, and highly recommend it. The staff is friendly and welcoming. We have tried the following dishes (always with a side of garlic naan):
Chicken Tikka Masala
Palak Paneer
Butter Chicken
Chicken Korma
Navratan Korma
The best dish by far is the Chicken Tikka Masala. The Butter Chicken is very similar in flavor, but I would recommend sticking with the Tikka Masala sauce. Both dishes include white meat chicken cooked in a tandoor clay oven. If you prefer dark meat, you may want to try something else. We have tried many Indian restaurants over the years. The Tikka Masala here is one of the best.
If you prefer vegetarian, I would recommend the Palak Paneer. The main ingredients are pureed spinach, cottage cheese, and traditional herbs and spices. Not many Americans think of spinach as delicious, but trust me ...this is not your average spinach dish! It's very flavorful and not what you would expect of a spinach dish.
The Korma sauce is so-so here. I have had better at other restaurants. We always end the meal with my favorite Indian dessert- rasmalai. It includes milk, cardamom, and rose water. My husband says it tastes the way shampoo smells. I love it, definitely a must-try!
The only constructive criticism I have to offer is regarding the spice level of dishes. There is no consistency at most Indian restaurants. Some servers here have asked if we want mild, medium, or hot dishes....others have asked us to pick a number 1-5 for how spicy we want it, others have offered a 1-10 scale. The spice level is never consistent.
Recently, we ordered two dishes with the same spice level (medium), but while one dish was mildly spicy, the other was extremely spicy. It would be nice if there was one spice scale and the measurement of spice added to the dish was consistent based on that scale. This would ensure that every time I order a dish, I can expect consistency.
Overall 5 stars, highly recommend. We will back to try the Biryani and Tandoori dishes...(I also hope they add Bhindi Masala to the menu at some point!)
