They are clearly trying there best to provide exceptional service Food (A) It's really good. I had the Dhaba Chicken and Naan and both exceeded my expectations. Heard the samosas, dhal and paleek paneer are really good also For the Dhaba chicken - squeeze some lemon on top and have with some chopped onions. Enhances the flavor exceptionally! Don't believe the negative reviews - it's a low key place for some really Indian food If I lived close by and my wife wasn't an amazing cook - I would go frequently Just try it out it's good

The butter chicken was excellent and now I have leftovers for lunch - the garlic naan was better than we've ever had so make sure you order double!

The service was great and it was after lunch so we were the only customers ... bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner but they were setting up for a celebration & were getting around to cleaning so we expect that was on their list, It's a little drive for us from home but we will drive down again (30 min) cause it was well worth the trip & we have leftovers too!

I originally stopped by to pick up my couscous salad with chicken, but when I saw they were serving Aedni chai, I decided to add that on. It took about 10 minutes to prepare, so I stayed and enjoyed my lunch there. I love the variety of food and the perfect balance of spice they offer! However, it's not the most affordable option. For instance, the quinoa salad is delicious and healthy, but once you add chicken, the price skyrockets to $26, which feels excessive--especially since the portions seem to be getting smaller. Despite the pricing, I enjoyed both the salad and chai. It's a solid lunch option if you don't mind a bit of heat! Hopefully, they'll consider adjusting the prices in the future.

They will charge you more than any other port of peri peri, give you half as much food, and burn it along the way. $15 for a wrap with two tiny chicken pieces that would cost you a MAX of $7 anywhere else.

The first is the chicken sandwiches were both inedible because the chicken breast pieces were hard and undercooked. We ended up replacing the the tenders in the sandwiches and throwing out the chicken. Second the Mac and cheese tasted great a few weeks ago but today the sauce / flavor to macaroni ratio was way too high making the Mac and cheese also inedible. They really need quality control to prevent jn the future.
