| - The Hungry Gills hit this place up a couple of weeks ago, it was our first time at the restaurant. We went around 7pm, and the restaurant environment was quiet with about 6 people sitting in. They have a nostalgic Super Nintendo system with Mario on it which was pretty cool, a kid played it as his dad had dinner. We walked in and asked for a booth, there was a drink spilled on the ground of the booth, so rather than cleaning it up the owner asked we sit on the other side of the booth beside each other....lol
Karn ordered 1) Butter Chicken with Naan 2) Chapli Wrap
Neetu ordered 1) Channa Bhatura
You can tell that the owner really cares about how the customers feel, he was came by every table asking if everything tasted good -- it's just his workers or lack of workers really left a stain on the service. We waited for 25 minutes before the food arrived, and in that time the server forgot to deliver us our drinks. The owner was shocked, and yelled for the server to bring us water.
THE FOOD
The Butter Chicken was great, a nice blend of sweet with some kick. Karn is an absolute butter chicken fiend, and he made sure there was no gravy spared. But what always makes a good butter chicken is a buttery, flaky soft naan (the bread you eat the dish with). The naan was nothing special, it was below average. The naan tasted almost like the frozen naan you would find in a grocery store and place in a toaster. Crisp, not soft and just not very complimenting with the butter chicken.
The Chapli wrap was delicious. On the menu as a Chapli burger, the owner recommended Karn to try it in wrap form, for you would get a better ratio of bread to meat. The chapli wrap contains a ground chicken patty which is marinated in tasty indian spices, tongue teasing chutneys(indian sauces), lettuce, onions and green chillies. The wrap was made with naan bread, and the bread used in the wrap was immensely better than the one that came with the butter chicken. Karn would definitely recommend this wrap as a lunch item for those who want a quick meal with some heat.
The Channa (or Cholay) Bhatura was below average. Channa is for a chick peas masala curry where bhatura is a deep fried bread used to eat the curry. The chick peas were not cooked properly and actually hard. Channa should always contain very soft chick peas. This was disappointing. The bhatura was average.
PRICE
Chapli wrap - $10
Butter Chicken and Naan - $13
Channa/Cholay Bhatura - $8
The Bottom Line
If you are going and want a wrap with some indian kick, grab the chapli wrap.
We put out a full video review if you care to check it out.
