We were in the mood for some butter chicken and didn’t wanna make the drive to our go to spot on the other side of town. New Little India at 23 & Van Dyke.
Noorjahan is the second place we’ve tried on this side of town.
Food was delivered hot. Everything we ordered was present & accounted for.
Two orders of butter chicken, one mild, one medium. The kick was noticeable in the medium. Chicken was tender, sauce was good.
The rice was fresh & warm.
Naan. We snagged a regular garlic naan & a cheese naan. Both were good.
I’m noticing a big difference flavor wise from my go to place & these Eastside Indian restaurants. Depth of flavor? Where is it?
I hate to take a star a way, but I’m to the point where I can heat up a store bought butter chicken sauce, add my own chicken & serve it over basmati rice I make at home and if I put it in a to go container, it could pass as restaurant quality these days.
The Naan, average. Little garlic, little oil. A few specks of fresh herbs & Im supposed to be ok with paying 12 plus dollars for a two orders of Naan?
I’m paying 50$ dollars for butter chicken & naan for two and it’s average at best. Take some time with that butter chicken man, develop those flavors. The Naan, it’s not an after thought….. it’s the co star of this dish. Treat it as such.
Still searching for the my go to spot on the Eastside.
