| - Went there on a Monday at 10:30am (right when they opened) in a group of 7.
The service was nothing extraordinary. It was ok. Our waitress seemed a little lost and disorganized from time to time, but in her defence, they had literally just opened, so she might've also been busy with preparing the restaurant for the rest of the day.
It was the first time for 4 of us, so we all got the butter chicken lunch special. It came with 2 pieces of naan bread, a portion of rice, some butter chicken, some cooked veggies (im sorry! I don't know what it's called!), a piece of chicken and a "salad".
The more experienced people got a la carte things that I don't understand.
The "bread" (pappadum) that was given while we waited for the food was so good! It was more like chips than bread. Super thin and crunchy. It was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The green sauce (chutney) that came with it was also quite tasty.
Only one of us got an entree (veggie samosa). It was huge! She split it into 4 pieces and we each got a big bite. It was quite bell seasoned.
When my food came on a pretty unattractive platter, I was a little let down, since there didn't seem to be THAT much food. Well, I was wrong. I ended up being way too full!
The butter chicken was delicious. The sauce was amazing. The chicken itself was meh and a little dry, but the sauce. Wow wow wow!
The cooked veggies were pretty good. A tiny bit spicy, but well seasoned.
The single piece of chicken seemed a bit random to me, but I ate it. It was ok. Just slightly dry chicken.
The salad was a let down. It was just a few sad pieces of lettuce, a slice of tomato and a slice of cucumber. Although, it was a welcomed change from the rest of the meal which was on heavier side.
So, it seems that 4 stars might be a bit generous, since there are a few points that didn't totally meet my expectations. HOWEVER, I paid a total of 9$ for that meal. 9 dollars for a meal that made me so full that I couldn't even finish! That's pretty darn amazing to me.
So head over there and feast!
