"Some real flavor and spice in the heart of Burlington! Recommend the hare masaley paneer tikka, and the tomato beetroot soup (it kind of tastes like a rasam but thicker) if you're looking to beat the East Coast chill. Also loved the eggplant raita-- it's slightly sweet but has an interesting profile of roast eggplant with pickle spice in it. Also, if you're looking for keto-friendly options, this place has it!"
"This was the first time I ordered from The Treasury. The food was amazing and hot when delivered! The lentils and the Tikka Chicken Tikka Masala were really good! The Tikka was the type of spicy I love and the lentils were great for my little ones. As always Naan is always good no matter what. Definitely would recommend 👌. It's worth the price too."

"Love this place. Easily the tastiest and freshest Indian food we've had since London. Little pricer than others but its well worth it. The ingredients are top notch! "
"Food was very tasty. Tikka Massala was yummy. However 7 dollars for a naan is ridiculous. It was 1 piece of bread. No amount of inflation makes that ok. Additionally, the dipping sauces in our combo platter were more than half empty. There was no sign of spillage, so this is how it was sent. All in all good tasting, but very disappointed. "

"Chicken curry was mostly onions (pic shows meat and onions separated) and meat was very less - didn't taste Konkani at all. Not sure if they serve 16oz or just 12oz for curry.

"Absolutely delicious! I had the Butter Chicken bowl and the Dal Tadka bowl — the sauces were amazing. The portion sizes were generous, and the badam milk was a complete breakfast on its own (for me). A great option for quick meals!"
"The Chicken Tikka Bowl I received was disappointing and did not taste fresh. The container lid was loose, causing the food to leak all over the bag. It was clear that the meal relied on store-bought powdered ingredients rather than fresh preparation. The dish tasted identical to dehydrated meal packets like those from The Cumin Club, lacking the smooth and rich texture of a freshly made gravy. Based on my experience, the restaurant needs to seriously revisit its recipes and preparation methods."

"The normal Naan is immaculate, but the garlic version is even better. The portions are pretty decent and it serves me two servings, but I am also the type of person who stops eating when they stop being hungry. The paneer has great consistency and the curry is thick and flavorful. It is not spicy at all, what makes me a little sad but, overall, is so good I can't avoid ordering."

"The Chicken Biryani was delicious and spicy, but the quantity has decreased significantly since last year. I always order from here and every time, I feel like I am sent less and less. I used to be able to eat one order of this for 2 meals, but now it only serves for 1. "
"Goat korma was delicious, could have used attention to detail on a few pieces of bone. Chicken Tikka Masala was fairly good flavor. Good flavor and texture on the Garlic Naan. Lassi was new to us and had good flavor. *note: We are used to home cooking and never really order take out. Overall very good"

"Amazing flavor and just spicy enough for the Lamb Rohan Josh and Chicken Korma. The naan is amazing. They were out of rice pudding but kindly substituted rasmal. Delivered slightly earlier than expected which worked out great. "
"First time ordering from here and very impressed. Chicken Tikka Masala (GF)and Bhindi Do Pyaza (V, GF, DF) were excellent and good quantity esp compared to other indian places.
