Tandoori Chicken with Biryani Rice
The flavors and quality of the chicken and rice was amazing. The raita went really well with it. The mint sauce was a bit toooo minty. I’ll definitely order this again.

South Indian Chicken Varuval
Absolutely delicious. It had an herby, smoky flavor and just the right amount of heat. I agree that it needed a side sauce &/or a squeeze of lime. I served it with plain yogurt.

South Indian Chicken Varuval
This had good flavor but is just too dry

Kerala Vegetable Stew
Really looks unappealing. Smells good but it didn’t taste good. The veggies were mushy too. Are you supposed to mix the soggy rice in it?

Tandoori Chicken with Biryani Rice
It was okay just not for me. I knew the sauce was cilantro, which I can't eat and it wasn't great with no sauce. I wish there was a way to exclude cilantro from my menu choices.
