"I inquired about dishes with chicken and vegetables, and they asked if I wanted rice with it. That was fine, but I made it very clear that I cannot handle spicy food. The other person with me also specified that they wanted no spice at all. The person who recommended the restaurant asked for simple noodles. When we ordered, they queried whether we would pay now or later. While we waited, I went ahead and paid, which I now regret. Not long after, they informed us they didn't have noodles. The other person ended up ordering a version of what we had, but it was not what we expected. It was mostly rice with only a few vegetables that served as garnish, and the onions made the dish even spicier, so we picked them off. I had asked if the chicken was grilled, and they told me it was stir-fried, but it turned out to be breaded in a spicy coating. At one point, a staff member checked in on us, and I mentioned that the dish was spicy but that I would try to manage it. Looking back, I wish I had requested something different, and after reading other reviews (a bit too late), I now wish we had chosen another place. Ultimately, I could only eat a small portion of my meal, so now I'm on the hunt for another option. So, lesson learned: convenience isn't everything when it comes to dining out!"

The flavor of the Chicken 65 Biryani was quite enjoyable. I opted for the spicy version, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. However, the portion size left a lot to be desired for the price I paid. They could definitely improve on the quantity.

**Previous Review:** I ordered my food without meat and requested paneer, but I was served meat instead—no paneer at all! This place is terrible; they clearly don't care about what they serve their customers. If you're vegetarian, I wouldn't recommend coming here.

Incredible portion of Szechwan Fried Rice (Veg/Egg/Paneer/Mushroom/Chicken/Shrimp) for the price, with the spice level just right as requested. However, the extra toppings we paid for could have been mixed in better, as they seemed to be simply placed on top. Despite that, the dish was still delicious!

I order from this restaurant almost every weekend. The food is amazing, and the portions are generous. I would say it’s definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in the US. You must try the gobi manchurian and chicken lollipop—they're too good to miss! The owner is also wonderful to talk to and offers excellent customer service. View menu

Trust me when I say that the biryani here is unmatched. I usually opt for either the Vijayawardha chicken or chicken 65 biryani, paired with crunchy momos. The vegetarian biryanis are just as impressive. The portion size of the biryani is generous as well. They also offer rotating specials posted on a board. This place is a must-visit if you're in the mood for Indian cuisine!

I recently had a truly disappointing dining experience. The food was utterly unappetizing – poorly cooked and flavorless. Veg momos are like eating flour and carrots and chicken lollipops has no meat on it. It was evident that no effort went into preparing it. The customer service was just as abysmal. The manager seemed disinterested and inattentive, ignoring our requests and providing no solutions when issues arose. He is only saying that they don't produce meat so they can't help it. I never saw people who produce meat. He's a real funny guy. Overall, it was a regrettable visit that I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

At the very least, there should be a sign indicating that the back door is for employees only, and the delivery icons should be removed from the door to clarify access restrictions. Because of this incident, I will never return or deliver for Chutneys restaurant again. Based on the other reviews I've read, it seems clear that their priority is profit over customer service. When I mentioned that I wouldn't come back, that’s when I was reported. The behavior of the staff is both dishonest and rude. I now understand why they respond defensively to reviews rather than addressing concerns professionally by apologizing. Instead, they resort to insults and call customers liars. View menu

I came here with mixed feelings after reading a variety of reviews. The restaurant is small and has some outdoor seating. The owner is friendly and takes the time to walk you through the menu, which is helpful. I started with the chili momos, and they were fantastic. I then ordered the tandoori masala chicken and garlic naan, both of which were delicious and flavorful without being too spicy. I also tried the chicken biryani, which was perfectly spiced. For drinks, I had the mango mastani—a creamy mango puree with nuts and a scoop of ice cream, which was delightful. Overall, the food was tasty and, yes, quite spicy, which is what you expect from Indian cuisine. Keep in mind that it's located...

The soups were quite good, although the hot ones had caused the plastic containers to warp. On the plus side, they were well-packaged with Saran Wrap, preventing any leaks. The cooked spinach was tasty and mostly prepared according to my requests, for which I am grateful, although it was a bit oily. However, there were no utensils included, which was a significant issue since I was at work after hours and had to ask a colleague for a spoon. I believe there should be an option to opt out of utensils when ordering for home, but it's a major inconvenience to receive takeout without any utensils. Additionally, my entree did not come with rice, which is uncommon for an Indian restaurant. Overall,...
