Okay guys so I got the $14 custom bowl. I got chicken tikka masala with the masala sauce and other toppings. Its really good and worth getting for the price. They aren’t stingy with the portions at all and its only $15.42 after taxes. Everything was great, except I was hoping the chicken tikka sauce would be a bit spicy because it was too sweet for my liking. Another thing is the portion for the green sauce on the side wasn’t enough, I think they can fill it the container up a bit more. However, I highly recommend it! I’m a picky south asian eater so im glad this meets my needs. I’ll be coming back to try more of the menu items! - Monisha Hussain
