I recently dined at Essence of India and it was a lovely experience! The vibrant atmosphere immediately set the stage for a cozy evening. I started with crispy samosas, which were perfectly spiced. For my main course, I indulged in the butter chicken - rich and flavorful, it paired wonderfully with garlic cheese naan. Their chai tea? Exceptional! Fast service and a diverse menu make it a great choice for any meal. Can’t wait to return and explore more... 🌟
