" An absolute delight! I recently hosted a gathering and ordered catering from Sanja Chula. Everyone complimented the food from the buttery naan to the flavorful curries. It was like inviting India into our kitchen! I was particularly pleased with how fresh everything tasted. The delivery was timely and the staff was very accommodating regarding our requests. A fantastic experience overall, and I would recommend them for any event! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, I had a disappointing experience at Sanja Chula. I ordered the Amritsari kulcha and the flavors just didn’t resonate with me; it felt bland. My friend had the biryani and he said it was very plain as well. The atmosphere was fine, being in a takeout space, but I expected more from the food. I would suggest the restaurant reevaluate their recipes to enhance the authenticity of their flavors. Until then, I may hold off on ordering again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Sanja Chula based on the reviews, but my experience didn’t live up to the expectations. I ordered the paneer tikka, and while the taste was good, I found it quite oily, making it a less enjoyable meal. The atmosphere left a bit to be desired since it was quite basic, but the service was fair. I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty average experience at Sanja Chula. The food was just okay—nothing to write home about. The tandoori chicken was average in flavor and slightly overcooked. I could see some potential in the recipes being used, but they need to focus on consistency. The environment also felt disjointed, though I understand it's a takeout operation.. I was expecting something more flavorful, to be completely honest. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The variety they offer is impressive. I tried the biryani and fish curry, and they were delicious. Each dish was loaded with spices that brought me back to my travels in India. The service was friendly and warm, making me feel welcomed. I cannot stress enough how much I recommend visiting, especially if you're looking for something authentically Indian. Can't wait to go back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Sanja Chula. While I really enjoyed the flavors in the dish I ordered, I felt the service could use some improvement, as we waited quite a while for our food. The atmosphere is that of a casual takeout place, which was fine, but I expected more from the overall dining experience. I'd be willing to give it another shot for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Sanja Chula was generally positive. The authenticity of flavors felt genuine, and while most items were good, a few, like their naan, could be improved. They were a bit too crispy for my liking. Regardless, I found the menu diverse and enticing, and there’s a great vibe of community in the place. I’ll continue to return given the consistent quality of the main dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
