Today I came here to eat for the first time and ordered the chicken zafrani biryani, the lamb korma, and to drink I had the sweet lassi and

Sweet Lassi
Menu Description:
Sweet Lassi Delicious sweet yogurt drink 3

The taste of the sweet lassi reminded me of the Vietnamese yogurt I had growing up. This drink, however, had a liquid consistency as opposed to yogurt.

Chicken Zafrani Biryani
Menu Description:
Chicken Zafrani Biryani Tender chicken chunks and finest basmati rice flavored with saffron. 11

The chicken in the biryani was soft. Note, informed by the waiter, that the dish is already a bit spicy, we ordered it mild (mild + mild ~ medium).

Lamb Korma
Menu Description:
Lamb Korma Tender boneless lamb in Luckhwani style rich mild creamy nutty curry. 11

Like the chicken, the lamb in the lamb korma was also soft, but needed the sauce for a balanced taste. Note that this dish was not already spicy and we ordered it medium.

In both dishes, the amount of spiciness was perfect.

Between the potato naan and the garlic naan, I liked the softness of the potato naan. Someone, however, who prefers crunchy foods would probably prefer the garlic naan for the texture alone. Both tasted good.

Overall, the food here was great and plentiful. There was a decent amount of food leftover (taken to-go) and I'm glad I didn't choose the buffet option.
