Tender, expertly grilled chicken with a tandoor aroma and deep, rich flavour, the best in the Bay Area for some and good value with naan. A few find it unremarkable.

A standing order for its regulars, repeatedly called great and super tasty, with a sauce diners come back for and consistency across visits.

Incredibly flavourful with generous protein and good heat, among the best some have had. A few find the chicken itself short on flavour and outshone by the naan.

A house favourite: creamy, flavourful, generously portioned and a hit with children. The one recurring reservation is chicken that can come out dry.

Divided. Called delicious by some, while others find no real spicing and a gravy they cannot tell apart from the kitchen's butter chicken.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked early ranking until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
