| - I went there for the first time -- friend and I both had the Butter Chicken Roti. It was fantastic and quite large. We were both impressed with the sauce, the chicken, and the overall service.
The value is okay. $11.95+tax isn't cheap, but it's comparable given the quantity you get. We were quite full. The wait staff was very polite -- they gave us the menus the moment we sat, and they didn't have us waiting too long to receive the food.
(edit: as of 2018, it's now $12.95+tax)
It's been a long time since I've had a good butter chicken roti, and this may be one of the best. People always rave about nearby Island Foods (a different cuisine, I know) but Mother India blows it out of the water. It's not even a contest.
I got it "mild/medium" and my friend got "medium/spicy" and both were spiced accurately to our preference.
To me what makes or breaks a butter chicken dish is the quality of the sauce -- and their makhani sauce is fantastic. It's rich, creamy, and I was savouring every bite. If it was a few bucks cheaper, I'd be here more often.
Update: I went back and upped it to "medium" which was still good, but I'll stick with "mild/medium". If you prefer to taste the flavours without being overwhelmed by spice, I think it's a good spice level. Everyone is different though!
Oh, and I've been told this thing has a ton of calories... but with the sauce being as rich and creamy as it is, I guess I'm not surprised. Haha.
