Repas de fête groupe. Super cuisine....& je ne suis pas fan d'indien pcq je trouve souvent que j ai 2-3 morceaux dans plein de sauce....pas le cas ici belle portion. Plein de saveurs a refaire 👍
Je me suis fait livrer de l'agneau un vendredi soir, directement auprès du resto, sans application...
Après une longue attente de 1:10h & un appel passé au resto pour voir si la commande était en route, j'ai enfin pu déguster mon repas...
L'agneau était délicieux! Tendre, la sauce goûteuse MAIS, 5 cubes d'agneau, un riz sec, réchauffé & un pain naan hors d'usage, tout mouillé pour 24$, selon moi, c'est rire des gens....
It used to be good pizza to order out, now they put cheap cheese like all the other cheap places. Only the sauce was good. The bread ordinary & the ingredients were not fresh.

Everything is delicious. The sauces are particularly rich & loaded with flavour. The one complaint would be that the lentil dish is consistently much too salty. You need to specify if you'd like the sauce to be very hot. Vindaloo dishes are pretty reliably so.
Durant plusieurs années c'était un restaurant excellent, des aliments frais,des portions généreuse,des prix raisonnables. Mais c'est 5 dernières années la qualité à nettement diminué & les prix augmentés.
Dans une toast avec une (1) tranche de fromage il y a plus de fromage que dans leurs pizzas.
Si vous commandez de la bouffe indienne assurez-vous de commander assez de pain naan pour tremper la sauce avec 4 Petit cube de viande.
J'adore commander sur le site de Sandhu. Le menu est varié & la nourriture est excellence. Particulierement le veau avec legumes & sauce à la crème ainsi que le sous-marin diavolo.
Nous avons pris le plat dégustation & une assiette de pâte avec une bouteille de vin. Excellent service, je ne suis pas un connaisseur en cuisine indienne mais j'ai trouvé la cuisine bonne & très généreuse en sauce pour les dégustations.
Nous avons commandé depuis leur site internet où ils proposent une livraison par leur propre moyen, je vous recommande de faire comme cela. Les prix sont très honnêtes. Nous avons pris un poulet korma, agneau khali, pokora & naan supplémentaire avec 3 sauces pour 77$ livraison, tips & taxes inclus 👍. En plus c'était très bon & très copieux. Pour info, avec le plat, vous avez riz & naan 🤝
So I ordered a butter chicken & a chicken korma. Let's give them what they deserve. The meat is one of the most of not the most tender I had with Indian curry. The butter chicken sauce is pretty much the same as tomato soup with piece of chicken, no taste of butter whatsoever. We just throwed it away. The chicken korma, the sauce is fine, it's up to you to decide. It's not bad, itsnnot the best. It's fair. The rice... I like cumin, but now we can't even taste the basmati rice, the cumin overpowered everything else.
We've been ordering almost weekly from Sandhu for the past 7 years & absolutely love it. All the indian dishes we have tried from them were very good, although we keep going back to the Tikka Tandoori chicken which is our absolute favourite (the dipping sauce that comes with it is incredible). Portions are perfect in my opinion. Naans are very good too, especially considering the fact that by the time they are delivered to us, they're not fresh out of the oven anymore. Still, they're warm & pillowy, very tasty (& perfect with that sauce!!).
On the italian side, pizzas are very good too, as well as the scallopines. The only "meh" thing is the bread that comes with them, it's some kind of pretty dry industrial roll & really not on par with everything else.
I can't rate the service or atmosphere because we've never actually been to the restaurant, although we've been saying we should really try it sometime!
