We ordered the family size classic Yours Truly Butter Chicken, a robust and creamy chicken curry with a slight tinge and succulent boneless chicken chunks tossed in rich gravy, which is just the perfect one to satiate those butter chicken cravings. Next, we had the fiery Chicken Lababdar, a classic onion-tomato gravy with tantalising spices ready to palpitate your appetite! If you are a spice lover, this is just the right curry for you. We were impressed with the quantity of each curry, which was more than enough for about 6 people.
The vegetarian menu is equally impressive with the option to choose and customise from a variety of paneer dishes and dal makhani.
We also sampled the chicken malai tikka from a diverse range of veg and non-veg appetisers. Juicy, zesty and smoky, the malai tikkas won us over right at the first bite. YTBC offers an assortment of Indian breads along with desserts and beverages too.
