I ordered Chicken Tikka masala (national dish), chicken passanda, and saag paneer.
They were all overwhelmingly sweet. Think sweet potatoes or butternut squash on Thanksgiving day. They tasted strongly of coconut, even though the descriptions said they were made with cream and yogurt. The spices were literally undetectable. When I say spices, I mean flavor, not heat level. In the US, these dishes are savory and well seasoned even when made with no heat level.
This was honestly a shocking experience.
I'm giving 3 stars because I do understand this is the norm in this area, reviews at other Indian places near by mentioned extremely sweet dishes as well. The delivery was quick and free, and the restaurant didn't do anything wrong. But in my heart it was honestly a 1.
