“The delivery charge is high because I ordered from GrubHub, but the food is relatively inexpensive so it does even out.”

  1. This is going to be an interesting review. The location houses two restaurant that share the kitchen and small dinning area. Canteen Desi Dhabba (CDD) & China Spice (CS). I went for just their mutka biryani – however since I was ready for gluttony – ended up ordering their sweet corn soup (CS Menu), Kai Chi/ Drums of heaven (CS Menu), Vegetable Hakka Noddles (CS Menu) & the goat mutka biryani (CDD Menu).

    Hina took really good care of me and every other guest in the small dinning area – while being constantly busy with a 100 other things – absolutely amazed by her multi-tasking ability – while making sure that all dinners were well taken care of!

    Now the food.

    *Sweet corn soup 3/5 stars lacked salt and was good but not really good.
    *Drums of heaven 4/5 stars – crispy while well spiced and not drenched in sauce.
    *Vegetable Hakka noddles 4/5 stars – took it to go and only tasted a spoonful before writing this review.
    *Matka Birayani 5/5 – even the nan-used for covering was fabulous and I ate most of it 🙂
    *Service 5/5 – Hina is awesome!
    *ambiance 3/5 – this is not a dine place for everyone and is a little rough around the edges, if I know what I mean.

    Looking forward to coming back again soon!

  2. Had shrimp byriani and vegetable korma and requested MILD- the food is so hot it burned my lips!!!

    Also the vegetable korma was short on substantive veggies– it Also contained TOFU!!!! I never asked for that and it isn't usually in vegetable korma.

    The shrimp also had an odd taste, perhaps frozen or perhaps not fresh or bad.

    Never again.
