Astoria Indian Grill - Wichita

"Went for the first time for dinner. I got the chicken Chettinadu curry medium spicy which was just perfect. Hubs got the butter chicken, also medium spicy and our son just chicken korma, medium spicy. All came with basmati rice. And we got 2 orders of butter naan. Everything was very tasty. The smells alone when you walk in the door are amazing. Service was good even though they were fairly busy( Valentine's Day dinner time) and there was only one gal waiting tables, running the register and taking carryout orders. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and left fat and happy."

"The lamb biryani was absolutely delicious. The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned incredibly well. We also had butter chicken which was pretty good but I would get the biryani over it every time. Garlic naan was tasty, too. As some other reviews have noted, the food didn't come out all at the same time so there was about a 5 minute gap between getting the curry and the biryani. Wasn't a big deal to us as we were sharing anyway, but figured it was worth mentioning. I'm definitely going to order one of the "buckets" of biryani to take home at some point in the near future."

"The food is excellent, however, they got my order wrong three times and the first two meals were taken back and redistributed after I had already touched them. I feel sorry for whoever ended up my meals, but I promised I washed my hands? Each entree was delivered 5-10 minutes apart and the others in my party were finished by the time I got my order so I asked for it to go. I feel meals should be delivered relatively within the same time frames. When it was incorrect and delivered to the table I asked them to remove the meal from the ticket and they charged the card for the meal anyway and brought me the to go order in which will most likely go to waste unfortunately. We didn’t feel disputing the bill for the second time was worth the effort. This is my second visit and both times service was an issue. 90% of the focus is on app orders as opposed to in house. The apparent manager avoided assisting me and it definitely appeared that arguing was happening among the staff. Only go here if you have at least an hour."

"First time in and there is no signage as to what you should do. (Wait to be seated or seat yourself) so we just waited not knowing the staff that was on regular attire was just casually standing around and talking. Not the best way to walk into a new establishment. Moving on, we finally get seated and we wait to get our order placed. After we received our food our appetizer came out. (?) the amount of food was enough for 2 people and we ordered a single chicken dum biryani. I will say Overall it was ok. They could improve on the customer service side of things."

"Date and time: 11/3/23 lunch Items purchased: I got mutton dum biryani, garlic naan, veg Korma, and a friend got chicken 65 for an appetizer. Pros: • food had decent flavor • server was nice • restaurant was clean • the people I went with enjoyed their meals (they got curry dishes) • naan was delicious Cons: • I ordered all my food extra spicy and the food was low spice with moderate flavor. • I was not a huge fan of the chicken 65 or the veg korma both lacked flavor and the texture of the korma was off. • Ventilation in the restaurant was poor and when the restaurant got busy the restaurant got real smoky. • it took a while to get our food Closing thoughts: This is a new restaurant and you could definitely see they were trying hard. My experience could be the exception. I will definitely be trying this restaurant again in the future."
