I never really leave a review but this had to happen: *trigger warning- chewed food pictures* We ordered Jyoti’s butter chicken on DoorDash no more than an hour ago. Half way through eating the order my husband chews a bit on what he thinks is rubbery chicken to find out it’s a curled bandage. We call the restaurant and am first told there is no manager present this evening, then am moved around from person to a final person that claims no one on their team has a band aid or cuts in their hand. So it’s either old food from back when someone did have a cut, or they are lying. Either way this is entirely unacceptable, and disgusting. Though he agrees to approve a refund through DoorDash, but so far thats still pending. I am immune compromised.. so we are just hoping this isn’t something that gets me sick as well. We will not be returning, and don’t recommend to anyone else. Bad and unsafe food, and poor customer service. (The bandage has been soaked in the sauce and it so hard to even tell, you can see the strands from the first picture)

Our first visit to Jyoti Indian Cuisine and it was incredible! The food smelled amazing & the taste was authentic Indian cuisine. We felt like we were being served in someone’s home. Peter made us feel so welcomed and added to our experience, by checking on us throughout, to make sure we had what we needed. The portions were generous, enough to take home & enjoy again. We will definitely return and recommend this restaurant 100%!!! Thank you Peter & Staff, we had a wonderful evening!
