First time visiting Pista House. I really enjoyed the cheese naan and the chicken pieces in the butter chicken; both were flavorful and cooked well. However, the butter chicken sauce itself was a bit too salty for my taste. On the plus side, I appreciated that rice came with the meal, unlike other Indian cafés in the area where it’s an extra charge to get rice with your meal. My hostess was very nice, she showed me where the spoons etc were and on my way out she gave me a bag...
