AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about the Chicken Tikka Sandwich, a smoky, spiced marvel that steals the show. The overall vibe is of bold, unpretentious comfort food that delivers pure satisfaction.
“The chicken has an incredible texture to it plus that egg netting batter. As I keep on eating, the flavors and the spices start to come, they start to emerge. The French bread feels really crusty, you've got the whole chicken cutlet in there, the salad which looks like watercress, I got chili in there, mayonnaise and ketchup. The crispiness of the cutlet, the tenderness of the chicken, the chili in there, the crispness of the watercress — very tasty. The bread is nice and crusty so it holds it up, at the same time it's quite light and fluffy. This is something just totally unique and so fascinating.”
