“ I had chicken over rice from today, and it was really tasty! The chicken was soft, well-cooked, and full of flavor. The rice was nice and fluffy, and everything together tasted amazing. The best part was the ‘white sauce’creamy and delicious, making the dish even better. If you like spicy food, their hot sauce adds a great kick. The portion was big, totally worth the price. If you’re looking for a filling and tasty meal, this is a great choice. I’ll definitely order again! ”
