Classic-Butter Chicken
this Chef should order this dish from Mumbai Grand and see that he is not making it. Chicken was rubber, not edible& very little which was a plus. there is no Naan, it's some weird focaccia bread.

Malabar Shrimp Curry
Excellent rice and shrimp, but the curry was waaaaay too salty. And this is coming from someone who salts everything.
