“I find Angel to be highly overrated. The butter chicken is so thin (I've had it 3 times and each time it was the same consistency). A lot of the curries are on the bland side. Tandoori chicken was also really bland.”

Plenty of others call it overrated, with thin cream sauces and bland curries, and a few Indian commenters say it is tuned for a Western palate. Opinions on the new location split both ways.

“But when we visited again last week, the food wasn’t even close to what they had before - much less spiced, no more wok hei smell, and far less fragrant. It might just be my imagination, but I also think the biryani portion is smaller now. so disappointed”
