Amma's Chicken Thighs
Delicious flavors and a nice heat. Even the rice was packed with flavor.

Creamy “Marry-Me” Chicken
This tasted good but proportions were weird. A lot of rice and a lot of sauce but not a lot of chicken and 4 half pieces of asparagus left something to be desired. More veggies and more chicken would improve this instead of making the majority of the meal rice.

Creamy-Tofu Tikka Masala
I'm sorry, but this is the most lifeless tikka masala I've ever eaten... with meager amounts of sauce that already didn't have enough spice/flavor to begin with. Extremely disappointed in this dish.

Creamy “Marry-Me” Chicken
I love that this is a complete meal. Asparagus are perfect. I would like more sauce like double the amount but it’s great.

Amma's Chicken Thighs
Enjoyed the combination of dishes in the meal - will order again. However it needs more salt added while being cooked and the chicken needs to be cut in smaller pieces otherwise the meal heats unevenly.

Creamy “Marry-Me” Chicken
Both the Rice & Asperges was Super hard & cruchy..Even when I added a tiny bit of water to it before heating it. The seasoning on the chicken was good.
