“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.”

“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”
