    So we were looking for Indian food..our spot that delivers. Didn't have gluten and dairy free options.. So I found this place on Yelp. My sister was impressed on the easy to use menu. With easy to read guild on spice, dairy free and gluten free.. So we ended up ordering medium spice chicken curry. Which had more kicked than other places medium spice. But it wasn't bad.. Just a good heat to clear the sinuses lol.everything was package neat and kept warm. Chase was very unique and authentic a lot of Indian restaurants I've learned use a thick cream well this place uses coconut milk. You can taste the difference. I highly recommend this place. As of right now they only have take out. So so worth it.

    This was a lovely place to have dinner with a friend after a long Greyhound bus ride from NYC. The place is casual dining with a whimsical feeling with bright orange and green walls. On the wall, there were cool photos and pictures portraying peacock feathers, as well as quotes. There were also pretty blue lights. The wooden tables were set with reddish orange cloth napkins and wine glasses. I ordered the rose lassi, which was just okay. It was not thick enough for my liking and the rose flavor wasn't that strong. I had a hard time choosing between Sheekh Kebab (minced lamb) and Fish Tikka Kebab (salmon). I finally decided on the lamb, but wish I had gotten the fish. The lamb had seasonings of mint, pepper, spices and was cooked in Tandoor, served on a bed of mixed vegetables on top a sizzling cast iron skillet. I did not like the type of lamb that was used - I tend to only like lamb chops and actual pieces of lamb. I did not realize that MINCED lamb was ground lamb cut in circular shape. I thnk the cubes of salmon would have been more appetizing for me. However, the lamb did have a lot of great flavors and the vegetables underneath were delicious. There was a large portion of peppers, chickpeas, cauliflower, peas, lettuce and a little bit of green beans and tomatoes. The vegetables tasted fresh and wonderful with the delightfully tangy sauce it came with. The naan that my friend ordered was very yummy - Warm, slightly crispy, lightly buttered. Service was solid. We stayed past closing time and they graciously let us continue eating and talking. I would consider coming back if in the area, but would need to be much more discerning and make sure I understand the description before I order.

    Chilli paneer and samosa chaat

    It's strange that I missed reviewing this restaurant, hmm! I thought I had written one. Anyhow...I've been dining here for longer than I can remember. The food is outstanding, consistently good and it's almost too crowded to even get a seat most evenings.. Dishes I've tried and recommend are samosa chaat, chilli paneer, tandoori chicken sizzling platter, shahi paneer gravy, and oh! the chilli or garlic naan (so good)... Weekday lunch boxes are excellent, priced at $7 you get rice, choice of protein, side of vegetables and bread. I haven't had the buffet though which is an option if you want to dine in. One down side is that they shutdown early, last order for dining is at 8:45..they don't seat you after 9pm although they close at 9:30.

    Chicken biryani

    I am not from the area, I was in town for ten days for a business trip... that being said, I really wish I had found this spot 8 days before I did. Wow. We stumbled upon this gem on day 8. We loved it so much, we came back for day 9! (Had we found it earlier, we would have dined here at least 2-3 more times.) We were a group of 6 and we unanimously agreed that this restaurant served the best meals of our 10-day trip. If you're considering trying Indigo Indian Bistro or not... you really should. The service was great and the food was even better. We ordered buttered chicken, chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, kadai chicken, kadai lamb, chicken biryani, lamb biryani, aloo gobi, tandoori chicken, dosa, samosa chaat, gobi manchurian and several baskets of buttered naan and garlic naan. Everything was great. The gobi manchurian was surprisingly delicious, though it didn't really fit with the theme of the meal. (It was fried cauliflower smothered in a tangy bbq flavored sauce.) Other stars of the meal were the chicken tikka masala, both kadai dishes as well as the biryani dishes. My only regret is that I didn't get to experience their lunch buffet option- which looks great. The next time I pass through Manchester, you know where I'll be filling my belly. Seriously so good.

    Buffet

    Their buffet is good. I went for a sunday lunch buffet. Appam was my favorite. Appam is a kerala speciality bread. They make it fresh while you are eating. You can ask for more if you want, that was cool. Egg nilgiri and vegetable stew goes well with appam. Methu vada and idili was good as well. There was nice sambar to go along with it. Chicken tikka masala went nicely with the naan they provided. Kerala fish curry was not up to the mark. Carrot halva dessert was not that great. Outside of their buffet, calamari kochi (appetizer) is my favorite here. It is really spicy. Their biryani comes covered with a naan. Waiter will cut open the naan from the vessel in front of you. You can eat that naan. I liked the shrimp biryani more than chicken biryani. Mango lassi was nice.

    Biriyani!!!

Kinda ruins their allergen statement, doesn't it? We ordered the calamari, the crab dip, and the Cuban sandwich, all gluten free and tomato free. The person on the phone was really good. However when we got the food, the Cuban had bbq sauce on it, and the manager told us that it was because we didn't tell them that tomatoes were in bbq sauce (bbq sauce isn't listed on the menu for the Cuban sandwich). Wow. They remade the sandwich. I honestly only ate the calamari, which was good. My husband enjoyed the Cuban and the crab dip, but by that point, I was too concerned about whether I could eat it to actually try. Food is above average, but not great for allergies - a contrast from other 110s - and service is below average. Not likely a location I'd return to.

Situated in The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk, Burtons Grill offers a bar, a spacious dining room, a seasonal patio, and a space suited for large groups. My friends wanted to take me out for my birthday and asked where I'd like to go. I chose this spot because I'd heard so many good things about it. Since the weather was pleasant in October, we decided to sit outside. For starters, we shared a rustic bread roll served with pesto, herb, and garlic butter, and olive tapenade. In my opinion, the olive tapenade really stole the show, giving the bread a bold flavor. The bread itself was soft, warm, and utterly delicious. We also tried the signature wings coated in maple sriracha and the Memphis dry rub wings. Although I couldn't distinctly taste the maple or sriracha, the wings were still packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the Spinach and Artichoke Dip, which was rich with spinach, artichoke hearts, parmesan, tomato-jalapeño relish, and served with tortilla chips. It was genuinely tasty. For my main course, I went with the Steak Frites, featuring a charred flatiron steak served with béarnaise sauce and Parmesan-truffle fries. The steak was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The truffle fries were crispy and well-seasoned, and the truffle flavor really made them stand out. It was a simple yet satisfying dish. My friends chose the crispy fish sandwich, comprising fried haddock, pickled red onions, pickles, tartar sauce, all nestled in a brioche bun with a side of French fries. Another friend ordered the general Tso bowl, which included braised chicken glazed with general Tso sauce, along with charred broccoli, a rice-and-quinoa blend, julienned vegetables, toasted almonds, scallions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and ginger aioli. Both of them said their meals were fantastic. Our server was friendly, lively, and attentive throughout the meal. I definitely plan on returning to try more items from the menu.

I'm starting it out with sambar. Sambar is a flavorful, lentil-based stew that's a cornerstone of South Indian cuisine. It's typically made with pigeon pea lentils (toor dal), tamarind, vegetables, and a fragrant spice blend known as sambar powder. The dish is often tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried red chilies. Sambar is known for its rich, aromatic flavors and diverse variations across different regions. This is a bit spicy and very salty but I one it! Next up, I'm having a [vegetarian] samosa. A samosa is a crispy, fried pastry that originated in the Middle East and is popular in South Asian and West Asian cuisine. The savory snack is made with a pastry-like crust and can be filled with spiced potatoes, peas, onions, meat, or fish. The filling can be spicy or sweet, and the shape varies by region, sometimes triangular, crescent, or cone-shaped. It is often served with a couple sauces. These are good! The light green one is called a green chutney. Green chutney is the most common sauce served with samosas, which is made with a combination of cilantro and mint. Other options include mango chutney, tamarind chutney, tomato chutney, or raita, which is a yogurt-based sauce. This can be a bit spicy. The brown one is a tamarind sauce. Tamarind sauce, often used in Thai and Indian cuisines, is a condiment made from the pulp of the tamarind fruit, known for its unique tangy, sweet, and slightly sour flavor profile. This is less spicy and very tasty. For my appetizer, I'm having the Baby Corn Pepper Fry. These are battered baby corns that ate stir fried. It is quite good and nicely garnished. For my entree, I'm having the Gongura Chicken Kabab tandoor. Gongura, also known as sorrel or roselle, is a leafy green vegetable with a tangy flavor, commonly used in South Indian cuisine, particularly in Andhra Pradesh, to make chutneys, pickles, and curries. It's boneless, well seasoned and mixed in with purple onions and green bell peppers. Be sure to add the lemon! This is fantastic! Easy to eat and very light. For dessert, I'm the Carrot Halwa. Gajar ka halwa, also known as gajar halwa, is a beloved North Indian dessert of grated carrots cooked down into a pudding-like consistency with milk, sugar, cardamom, and sometimes ghee. The word gajar means "carrot" in Hindi, and halwa refers to the porridge-like texture.
