Underwhelming Tikka Masala — expected more

I was looking forward to Tikka Masala here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The tangy and vibrant character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with ghee or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

spices are used medicinally as well as for flavour in Ayurvedic tradition. The a north Indian restaurant abroad setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. chai tea was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
