1 – Curry Fried Chicken
This fast casual restaurant offers a unique dish you won’t find anywhere else in Utah –
and maybe surrounding states. Curry. Fried. Chicken. Take a moment to let that sink in. While you can find more common Indian dishes on the menu the star here is the lush chicken. This would be award winning fried chicken in its own right, but coupled with the lip smacking heat and flavour from Indian spices, this is a taste senstation like no other.

Be careful with the spice level you choose, the chefs at Bhutan House really go hot if you ask! If you do aim too high – balance things out with plenty of luscious biryani.
