INITIAL TAKE/SERVICE EXPERIENCE:Extremely small portions of food. Overall, I paid about $30 for chicken tikka masala and nan plus tip.My order was to-go and looked the size of a Lean Cuisine. It seems they prefer to use sectioned plastic to-go containers as opposed to the brown card board containers. This seems like a cheap alternative to packaging less food for the customer. Ordering staff also seemed a bit careless when taking the order. When asked what his fav dish was- he shrugged. This was a single grown man who does not reflect all of his fellow employee mates and could have been tired, but this is my opinion on a first time visit here, at The Post.TASTE: This was the most underwhelming Indian dish I’ve tasted.The chicken and sauce could have been more flavorful as it lacked the flavor packed spices a chicken TM dish typically has. I asked for ‘very spicy’ which is no problem with Indian cuisine though even this was short-met. The chicken bits were dry in addition to being small, as was the garlic naan. I have not ever eaten a naan that lacked moisture. This naan has the texture as though it had been warmed and sitting for a while. Much like the outside crust of a slice of garlic bread.OVERALL: Very underwhelmed and disappointed that the staff would package such a small order of food after having paid $30 in what seems to be a food court set up. Left this establishment feeling extremely disappointed, taken small advantage of, rushed out and still hungry.I don’t mind spending $30 on food. Though personally, my minimal requirements consists of tasty food and being full at the end. Both of which were not satisfied.Thank you for your read.

Yea, this wasn’t good. Got the chicken tikka masala + garlic naan. Tipped 15% against my better judgement and it came out to $27. Absolutely the worst version of this dish I’ve ever had. The sauce tasted like canned tomato sauce.

Pav bhaji was fine. Paneer roll had a gallon of oil in it, literally. I would skip if I could.

This place is amazing! The green curry with vegetables was so delicious. And if you're a spice sissy like me, they ask you for your spice level, and cater to your taste.

The service was great the and food was delicious. I see a lot of negative reviews where people are upset about the price but just about everything at post is in the same price range and similar portions so if you don’t want to pay that then don’t eat at post

Flavors weren’t bold, salad didn’t have any dressing, naan was too thick and paneer sauce was watery.

There were free samples that pulled us right in to order our lunch! My friend ordered the coconut curry with veggies and I ordered the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. The chicken was very tender, I could cut it with a fork, basmati rice done to perfection, and let me tell you about the sauce! I got it a little spicy and it was perfect! I'm from Missouri and this whole meal was delicious! The coconut curry was so good she could have had seconds even though she was full. It would be hard for us to choose anything else because it was so perfectly balanced.

Horrible take out tray. If you want to pay $18 for rice and small portion of chicken curry and lettuce as a salad then come to this trash place. Not worth the money because you’re paying for a tray of rice LITERALLY!
