I like some of it, but not the really hot dishes. The mild butter
chicken had a bit of heat to it, wouldn't want any more than what it did
have. It came with a tomato/onion chutney on the side which was very
enjoyable. We had a fair amount of left over sauce and some left over
rotisserie chicken in the fridge so combined the 2 for another meal.
