The Essence is known for its flavorful dishes like Chicken tandoori, Goat biriyani, and chicken fry. Their Onam sadhya is a must-try, and the Lamb Tikka Masala in the creamy tomato sauce is also highly recommended. Regular customers praise the consistently awesome, authentic Indian/Kerala food, making it a hit at parties. It is a breath of fresh air on a road filled with subs, fast food, and seafood boxes. The lamb seekh kabob, garlic naan, and mango wings are packed with flavor. Customers appreciate the good service, with staff who guide them through the menu and provide a pleasant experience. While there is no seating, the food is easily heated and enjoyed at home. The food is consistently hot and well-prepared, with generous portions like butter chicken, saag curry with chicken, garlic naan, and samosas. The Essence is a place that locals should not miss.
