The butter chicken at Roots Indian Bistro is the real reason to go — the tomato-butter sauce has depth rather than just sweetness — a version that respects what the dish is supposed to be. Everything else is a bonus. The price point makes returning easy, which is exactly the point. Walk-ins are generally fine, though weekend brunch lines move quickly.
