What people say, in short
Most commenters who mention Aga's recommend it, an Indian-Pakistani restaurant on Wilcrest Drive, and several name it a top pick. Commenters single out the biryani and butter chicken, one rates the Peshawari karahi very highly, and one points to the chops as a crowd favorite. Not everyone agrees: it is also called overrated and said to have slipped over time, and one found it bad when looking for chicken tikka masala. In one diner's blind biryani test it came last, though the other tasters put it second.
