Proper reaction to butter chicken.

Tbh every time I have butter chicken, I’m like, “This is the best thing I’ve ever had”

That’s not how you pronounce onion bhaji, but cute try.

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.

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
