| - My order: butter chicken with rice ($13.95+tax)
The experience: unimpressed. I ordered via Ritual, which said "usually ready in 15 minutes". They said it would take longer and selected 20. I arrived 5 minutes after their estimate and was still waiting 10 minutes for my order. Dozens of people came and went with their pick-up orders in the time I was waiting.
The portion: decent but not "huge" like some others said. It was enough food for me to have for dinner. I wasn't floored by the portion, especially for $16 after taxes. I was able to finish it without much issue. Like most places, they over-do it on the rice while skimping on the amount of chicken.
The taste: quite good. Nice sauce that had the right blend of herbs and spices. I won't fault them for the food itself, even if I wish it had more chicken. There was plenty of sauce so none of it felt dry. I chose "mild/medium" spice and even that was a bit too spicy for me, but I figure if I picked "mild", it would have had no spice factor.
Would I go back? Maybe. I might try some of their other items, but only if they understand proper timing for pick-up orders. If you say 20 minutes and it takes 35? That's unacceptable. If you need 30 or 35, say that.
Also, the price is a bit much for what you get, so this will be a rare treat. Also since it's new (and in Liberty Village), I bet this time next year, it'll be 25% more expensive.
