You thought hot chicken sandwiches were over? Now some South Asian restaurants are letting us know their take. Next up, Sherkaan Indian Street Food in New Haven.
Chili Cheese Stuffed Naan
The first bites are a little plain, but then there is a building heat.
The cheese gets better with each bit, but the stinging heat keeps taking over.
As you keep eating, its essentially all you taste.
The Rating: Chili Cheese Stuffed Naan
6/10
Indian hot chicken sandwich
The sandwich is comically large.
The chicken just stretches out far beyond the bounds of the bun.
The Indian herbs and spices are solid, with good warmth.
The sandwich is not very spicy at all, and the chutney gives a nice sweet balance.
The downside is as you eat it the sandwich itself gets mushy.
And since the chicken is so big, you can’t eat it in time to prevent the mush.
The Rating: Indian Hot Chicken Sandwich
7/10
Overall, there are good flavors here but something keeps getting missed in the execution.
