At this point I was pretty sure God just did not want me to have this food. I got there around 8:20 and ordered, it was obvious things weren't totally in sync and it appears the cash register isn't hooked up completely yet, so they had to add everything by hand. But I kicked myself for not having the patience to come another day, and dealt with it. And am I happy I did. Solid chunks of white meat chicken in the chicken mahkhani, the sauce was smooth, just thick enough (I find that some places make it too thin), the portion "looked" small but I was stuffed at the end of it. It was VERY spicy, for my white girl tongue, but I like it like that and so did not mind. The rice was spiced nicely. I also had the onion paratha, each side was nicely browned and had a ton of onions. And when you add in the price tag - 13 dollars - it just add 90 price points. Amazing.
