Saffron Pistachio Tiramisu
Was a bit disappointing

Classic-Butter Chicken
it would be nice if the naan was naan, and not pita bread. I don't think it is naan. otherwise good! I don't hate pita bread, it is just not naan.

South Indian Chicken Varuval
overall was nice but the seasoning in cauliflower was a lot (it was grainy/gritty).

Tandoori Chicken with Biryani Rice
There are no words to describe how much I enjoyed this meal. The flavours and combination of how everything melded together. Absolutely loved this and will order again.
