Ordered chicken and lamb with white rice and Mandy rice.

Received a big plate of plain rice and Mandy rice with lamb and chicken.

Tasted the lamb, noting it was soft but not the softest I've had.

Tasted the rice, commenting that if they don't get the rice right, what will they get right?

Overall, found the food pretty good but not amazing.
