Such a perfect dish! Flavorful, warm, and refreshing. I'm sensitive to spice, and this was not spicy in the slightest. Comfort food of the highest quality that never fails. Feeds two adults. 10/10 would order again. This has been my go-to for years.

I got the Lunch Korma and it was lot of food for $16! The korma and naan was very good, the perfect balance of sweet, spice and savory.
It also was packed well with the korma kept separate from the rice which is nice, none of the to-go containers were leaking either.

The New Delhi Butter Chicken was bland and the Garlic Naan was kinda tough (it was a little bit burnt too in my opinion). I have had Kanak before and it was great so I feel like today must've been an off day or something.
