In my experience this place has amazing butter chicken. The taste is so good, its so rich and creamy and they are also very generous with the amount of chicken they give. I got take out but the workers seemed very nice
One of my favorite Iocal Indian spots. I think someone botted the reviews recently. Seems like a bunch of terrible reviews with the same types of complaints and poor English. Staff is always super nice and food is always great. Never had a bad experience here and ate here at least 50 times throughout the years. Give it a try in person for yourself(never got delivery so can’t speak on that) before paying too much mind to the bad reviews.
