Malabar Shrimp Curry
The flavor was so bland that I had to add salt. I did not like the coconut flakes.

Punjabi-Style Chickpea Curry
Chickpeas were a bit mushy. Husband loved it - I liked it.

Classic-Butter Chicken
Very comforting, warm meal perfect for a winter night. This meal also has a lot of protein without feeling like you're eating a lot of meat.

Classic-Butter Chicken
This tasted fine but the portion was ridiculously small. If this had been my first meal from you guys I’d have never reordered.

Palak Paneer Kofta Curry
Need larger portion for rice and curry but you really need to make sure you add enough gravy to eat with some times it's just dry kofta in meal.
