To begin with, the lamb was wonderful. The dark green sauce around the stew was slightly sweet, peppered with savory undertones. Inside, the meat was just a tad bit pink (the way I like it!) and super tender! It was mildly spicy.
The chicken was, to my taste, a bit dry. I admit that I am very sensitive to this type of thing, so it might have stood out to me a little more than to others. But it did seem unusually moisture-lacking. Anyhow, it had a nice smoky, straight-from-the-oven taste, and the spices were very blunt and savory.
I found the rice to be a bit powdery, as if it was slightly overcooked, or as if it'd been sitting out for awhile...but once I poured some dal sauce over it, the taste did improve greatly.
The naan bread was extremely fluffy and doughy, and a little bit sweet. There was a teeny-weeny smoky taste to it, but this taste definitely added to the general experience.
And lastly, the mango lassi...ah, delicious. But not the best I've had. Definitely not. The consistency was a bit thin for me, (I love thick lassi), but the flavor was very, very real. Not artificial tasting at all.
Overall, the dinner was superb...but there were a few finishing tweaks that could have been made...I would rate it a 3.5/5 stars. Not bad, so if you're looking for a quick and authentic dinner that fills you up and satisfies you, definitely try Breads of India. But if you're sorta nit-picky, this might not be the place for you!
Hope this helped! I will have a video of the takeout meal soon...hang in there!
