“Although the Garam Masala/Tikka Masala spices are far from NEW, bringing those flavors into the hot sauce world is. It's got a long slow burn that compliments the delicious Tikka Masala flavors.”

“great curry sauce! med-high heat. tons of flavor! I had an issue with the sauce being off from what i remembered before it was on hot ones but the owner contacted me and explained what happened then sent me replacements for free. High Desert is a great sauce company and im a fan of their other sauces as well.”

“Love the sauce... very tasty and nice heat. But be careful opening it... I think the sauce must have fermented in the bottle. I won’t say that it exploded when I opened it, but it started to overflow instantly, like lava out of a volcano! I lost about a quarter of the bottle before I realized what was happening. And it’s still ready to boil over... I just opened it a second time, and it sounded like I was opening a bottle of seltzer (after dropping it). It started to flow again, but I quickly capped it, and now I’ve labeled the bottle with a warning so I don’t trip over it again. I don’t know if this is intended, or if I got a weird batch. I still recommend it... but it should come with a warning.”

“Anyone who likes Indian food knows one of its virtues is that curries can stand up to heat. Where extreme heat can overwhelm the other flavors in other foods, Indian curries are unique in the sense that you can order an extremely hot curry and still taste all of the other spices that went into the dish. And that is why this sauce is genius. You taste the curry elements first and they really are present and assertive. They don't merely hint at or suggest an Indian curry: this sauce tastes like curry. The heat follows, and it's a wallop of heat, too. I wouldn't consider this an extreme stunt sauce but I wouldn't hand it to your grandmother who likes a few drops of Tabasco on her eggs either. It was enough to make my nose run and eyes water. So, in terms of Scovilles, this is likely to make serious chiliheads quite happy, but it's also an "alternative" sauce in the respect that while vinegar is present, it plays second-fiddle to the curry spices and texture. Strongly recommended.”

“Big fan! Tons of flavor and surprisingly versatile. Goes great on Chicken Tikka Masala of course, but I also really dig it on breakfast burritos. Must try!”
