| - I was feeling serious hunger pangs on the way home from a hot-doc, and my GF convinced me it was time to give Kathi Roll express another shot. Here's my diagnosis:
SERVICE: We popped inside, and I ordered myself a Butter Paneer Roll. It took a few tries to get the server (and I believe proprietor) to remember my order - thankfully double-checking because considering my diet, a hungry bite into a butter chicken roll would definitely have spoiled my appetite. Otherwise, he was very friendly and eager to please.
TIMING: Since my last order was such a long wait, I timed this one: 11 minutes. A definite upgrade, and probably about the same wait-time as I've had at my local favourite, Capitano Gelato Burger. Definitely happy about that. (In that time I also checked in on my Yelp app, and discovered I had a free can of soda waiting for me!)
FLAVOUR: As in my original review, there is nothing wrong with these rolls. I never get to eat Butter-anything because most Indian restaurants only serve the chicken variety, and I was very excited about the butter sauce AND some hypercubes of Paneer. I was not disappointed in the least by how the meal tasted.
VALUE: The Butter Paneer only came as a "Jumbo" order. The price came to 9 dollars, and I'm not sure the price warranted the difference between this and the previous two "Mumbo" rolls I had ordered, nor do I feel there was a significant size disparity. I think that at that price point, I wouldn't expect to be hungry afterward, though I was.
OVERALL: I upgrade to a 3.5, with a few caveats:
I absolutely recommend the food. It's terrific. I will certainly return.
Hopefully, they've worked out the timing issues, but as I mentioned before - if you order in advance you won't go wrong.
The prices are a little wonky, so I think the best way to experience (provided you're hungry and also a vegetarian like me) would be to order multiple mumbo rolls.
