Proper reaction to butter chicken.

Tbh every time I have butter chicken, I’m like, “This is the best thing I’ve ever had”
Defnot
That’s not how you pronounce onion bhaji, but cute try.
Gezim Hoxza
Bro had seasonings for the first time and he’s never goin’ back.

This was so wholesome, charming & chaotic. Butter chicken in a shirt & tie *in the car*?! I’m literally aghast. Luke, you’re wild for this, lol.

With 7.2 million TikTok views alone, it was almost inevitable that the review would turn up on Twitter.

Speaking as a suburban white guy raised evangecal the first time you have good naan and curry is the moment you realize you were birthed of a failed civilization https://t.co/DOzKIDWdlD

Eating Indian food in your car is so stressful to me. He's having THE BEST time tho. This is a good genre of videos. https://t.co/Wwb9aWpQIO

I was getting anxious worried that he wouldn't try dipping the naan into the butter chicken and was so happy when he got there. https://t.co/9JzW81fG2g pic.twitter.com/LftI4cNpKE
