Achaya Kari

For once i had this craving for Indian food but not the briyani or typical roti prata kind but the tandoori/butter chicken, piping hot garlic naan kind. My makan buddy was recommended this eating hole by her colleague so we met up and ventured to this "new territory" for some indian nosh..

Was deciding between the cheese naan and the tandoori cheese prata and choze the latter as well where else can you find a tandoori cheese prata. Garlic naan was ok..quite soft and not to hard or too chewy like some naans. I liked the prata. It was not crunchy yet chewy. Cheese was ok..tink it would be nicer if they used shredded mozarella/cheddar instead of the cheesedale cheese they used.. but i still liked it

Butter chicken is a must, it was delicious. Spicy and good, the spices can really be tasted.

The Chicken 65 which was juz the tandoori chicken deep fried was nice too. Crispy and not very oily,i was happily eating my chicken.

The Kadai mutton tasted like the kurma my gdad makes but better. Liked how the mutton was not hard and "melted" in my mouth. Kept dunkin my poori n the breads in the gravy of the butter chicken and the kadai mutton.

The chilli fry gobi aka cauliflower fried with chilli was delish. Im not a cauliflower person(prefer broccoli) but it was really cooked well with the chilli. It was piping hot as they cooked it after we ordered it and if i hadnt been distracted by the meat i wouldve eaten more of it.

My poori was good. Light and quite crispy. Ikept eatin it with the gravy of the kadai mutton n butter chicken. Went really well. Neglected the masala it came with which was ok. Not too spicy so i didnt pay much attention to it.

Service was good. The manager/owner was walkin arnd n checkin on the customers, most were there for a good dinner, beryani n the likes. Looked pretty good. The staff were patient and helpful and prompt when asked for anything, be if a drink or questions abt the food.

I ordered the chilli chicken, butter naan and another tandoori chez prata for my mom. Chilli chicken was super spicy but ok. Still prefer the butter chicken.

Now i must highlight something. When ordering chicken. Do go for the boneless options. It is a dollar more but u get a lot more meat compared to the non boneless option. I kept on biting on the bones which was not really enjoyable. Will definitely return for guaranteed good food at affordable prices but I still wanna go around trying other places that serve up butter chicken..

Thus begins my search for the best butter chicken.
