I just had an amazing meal from Nelmani Indian Cuisine and was blown away by the flavors and quality. The Pav Bhaji was rich, buttery, and perfectly spiced – true comfort food done right. The Bhuna Lamb was tender and full of depth, with just the right amount of heat to keep every bite exciting. The Chicken Tikka was juicy, flavorful, and had that perfect char you want from a tandoor.Both the Garlic Naan and Rosemary Naan were soft, fresh, and aromatic – perfect for soaking up the sauces. The rosemary naan in particular was such a unique and delicious twist. Portions were generous, and everything tasted like it was made with real care and attention to detail.This was hands down one of the best Indian meals I’ve had in a while. I’ll definitely be ordering from Nelmani again and highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic, flavorful Indian food. - Samir K.
