We ordered the Apollo Chicken, Butter Chicken, Lollipop Chicken, Dosa, Tandoori Chicken, and Garlic Naan. Every single dish was so delicious. I loved that they can adjust the spice level for each dish. Worked well for our big group. We could get mild spice for the kids and more spice for the adults....
