“I got to try a variety of dishes: palak paneer pops, Amritsari machli, mutton biriyani, butter chicken, butter tandoori roti, garlic naan, dry chilli chicken, chilly garlic noodles and gulab jamun. Trust me when I say this, each dish had a nice distinctive flavour to it. Enjoyed most of it, but my personal fav has to be the palak paneer pops. This should not be missed at any cost! Absolutely delicious! Amristari machli was really good as well.”

Order Early. Place the full order at once rather than adding dishes later; a review says this helps reduce delays.
Check Chicken. Check chicken dishes when they arrive, especially biryani, because one customer reported raw tikka on two occasions.
Visit Earlier. Arrive before late hours if driving, as parking becomes harder to find later in the day.
Customise Meals. For recurring meals, ask whether less salt, oil or spice can be accommodated; a monthly-plan customer says these requests were accepted.
Try Thali. The Punjabi Paneer thali is a practical first order if you want an economical vegetarian meal with a substantial portion.
Allow Time. Build in extra time for dine-in orders, since another review says service can take a while even when the food is worth waiting for.

A chicken tikka biryani was reported to contain uncooked, raw chicken; the reviewer said the same problem had happened twice.
Reviews report stale-smelling chicken, low freshness and tasteless dishes, so food quality appears inconsistent.
One diner found the Chicken Manchurian dominated by soy sauce and vinegar, with boiled chicken in the gravy.
Multiple reviews mention long waits, including orders still not ready after 40 to 50 minutes.
Finding parking can be difficult when visiting late, according to one review.
The Bottom Line
Soy to Chutney is an Indian and Chinese restaurant in International City where you can dine in, order home delivery or arrange party catering. The reviews make its Punjabi Paneer thali, butter chicken deluxe combo, biryanis and selected Chinese dishes the clearest starting points. Catering is another strong use: party and outdoor-event customers describe the process as professional, budget friendly and stress-free.
Portions are often a highlight. One customer called the Schezwan spicy noodles bowl huge and shareable, while the thali platter was described as generous. The butter chicken combo also stood out for its authentic, homemade-style chapati, neat packing and on-time delivery.
A monthly meal-plan customer appreciated choosing dishes over WhatsApp and requesting less salt, oil or spice. The experience is not completely consistent. Reviews report raw chicken tikka in biryani, stale-smelling chicken, disappointing Chinese food and tasteless or overpriced meals.
Service has sometimes involved waits of 40 minutes or more, so ordering everything at once and allowing extra time is sensible. Late diners may struggle with parking. For celebrations, the arrangements have been praised, but one birthday review noted that the LED setup was unsuitable for playing a prepared video.
