" If you want authentic Indian/Pakistani food, this is the spot! The paneer tikka I tried was an absolute delight. The restaurant has a homely vibe, and the owner is so hospitable. My only complaint would be the limited seating, not suitable for larger groups. But that’s a testament to its popularity! Expect homemade flavors and a cozy atmosphere here, highly recommend it for takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the chicken karahi and was blown away by how delicious it was! The balance of spices was perfect. The owner was kind enough to provide insight into the dish's preparation, which was nice. The only drawback was the limited seating in the restaurant. Despite this, the food more than makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I ordered takeout from Once Upon A Grill for a special occasion. The samosas were crispy and delightful, and the butter chicken had the perfect amount of creaminess. The portions were generous, enough to serve everyone more than adequately. However, the wait was a bit longer than expected, but we enjoyed the food enough to overlook that. Will definitely order from here again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food is always good at Once Upon A Grill! I've tried a variety of dishes and they never disappoint. Each meal I’ve ordered has been consistent in flavor. The service is usually quick, but they can get busy, so plan accordingly. The dining area could use an upgrade, but hey, I'm there for the food! Will keep coming back when I crave hearty Indian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Authentic flavors, friendly service, and a laid-back atmosphere. This little restaurant has captured my heart! The chicken tikka was juicy and had the right amount of spice. The owner even made sure I was happy with my meal, which I appreciated. It may not be the fanciest, but it certainly provides a comforting meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don't let the exterior fool you! Once you step inside, you're in for a treat. I ordered the shahi paneer roll and it was bursting with flavor. The owner is genuinely friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable and the portions are solid, definitely worth a visit if you're craving authentic Indian flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Once Upon A Grill truly feels like a hidden gem! I had their vegetarian platters, and everything was bursting with flavor! The owner is super friendly and made excellent recommendations. I loved the fresh naan and the flavor-packed curries. The atmosphere may seem a bit worn, but honestly, don’t let that deter you; the food is worth it! Can't wait to bring my friends next time!
