  • "The masala chips were hot and fluffy with the perfect ratio of sweet and spicy."

  • "The portion sizes could have been served larger in regards to the pricing."

  • "Although everything was great, I think the portion sizes could have been served larger in regards to the pricing."

Cons:

  • "Did order a tea this time, and it came in the same cup as a Mojito, which wasn't great."

  • "As soon as I opened the butter chicken box, I noticed a distinct excess of oil used."
