it was extremely spicy but it did have a medicinal effect and invigorating...so it was a benefit...didn't care to much for potatoes in my Chicken Vindaloo Curry ( with bone) so I'll give it 4 stars...fish was to spicy for me to eat and I like spice...Naan was good and so was samosa Patti samosas ...not mad because again it felt invigorating....
