| - I order from them a lot because there's no Indian places close to here that deliver. So you'll get the most honest review right here, because I've had to just deal with what I don't like, and stick to what I do like!!! They're extremely courteous, and I appreciate that part, but I think they really could improve in terms of their food quality and they definitely need to make some changes.
When the food is GOOD, it's fresh and fast but pretty average in terms of the taste. It is not as flavourful as I would expect but it does the job when I'm craving Indian food.
When it's BAD it's stale, or really bland, or utterly disappointing because it's not what you'd expect the dish to be at all. And when it's bad it's extra upsetting because their prices are a bit too high.
THE BEST of what I've tried:
Biryani: This is what I always get, and it's OK when it's fresh. It's not the best I've ever tasted but also not the worst. It will get you through your biryani craving, but it's not the most satisfying or authentic. A bit bland compared to what I'm used to and not as much chicken as you'd expect, but it's stil tasty enough for me to order it several times, and it's boneless chicken which I always like. Like I said, when it's fresh it's tolerable.
However, I've had it delivered a couple of times when I ordered late in the evening, a couple hours to an hour or so before they close, and it seems like they're reluctant to make a new batch. A couple times it was stale plain rice mixed in with biryani rice. Was extra pissed off about that. But it hasn't happened again since the last time -- Just make sure you don't order too late.
UPDATE: In a recent order, the biryani was made with LARGE chunks of bell pepper(yes, bell pepper, orange bell pepper to be exact, which is really not what you'd expect in a biryani) and massive pieces of onion too. It was awfully disappointing.
Samosas: One order gets you two large potato/pea samosas, they're decent, they're typical samosas you'd get in the Indian grocery.
Naan: Plain, garlic and Kashmiri naan are what I've tried, all pretty good. Never had Kashmiri naan before, but it was good, very different and I would order again.
Rasmalai: Decent, typical rasmalai (ie: yummy).
THE WORST of what I've tried:
Paneer Tikka: This was extremely disappointing. The sauce was very thin, was extremely bland to the point where I considered calling to complain. But that's such a pain in the ass and when you've waited all that time to get your order, you just say "to hell with it".
Chicken Tikka: This is not the kind of chicken tikka you're probably used to if you eat a lot of Indian food. It doesn't seem like it's been marinated in any spices, there's no red colour, no colour at all actually. Just PLAIN pieces of chicken, which is not what you go to an Indian restaurant for!!!
