Tesco's Tandoori Chicken Sandwich

Rating: 4.9/10

Between to slices of malted brown bread, the Tesco’s tandoori chicken sandwich was a huge disappointment. Going in for the first bite, expecting a rich in spice taste, bursting with flavour, I was given very dull dry sandwich. To begin with, the tandoori chicken was very dry and crumbled when it was bitten into. It also lacked in flavour, sure it had the standard shade of orange one would expect of tandoori chicken, but that spicy, tomato and yoghurt like taste was just not there. The yoghurt and mint dressing was also on a very unsatisfactory level. There was a very small smear on only one slice of bread, so it’s very weak taste was rarely tasted, and allowed the sandwich to be as dry as it was. Again, another disappointment was the tomato and red peppers. There was very few of them and they had been cut up into very small slices, which again created a lack of taste toward the sandwich, and brought no sense of juiciness. The one thing the sandwich did not lack in was coriander, but this only brought more displeasure towards it. As there was so much of it, the strong flavour of them overpowered everything else, and afterwards I found myself having to pick them out of my teeth. On the whole the Tesco’s tandoori chicken sandwich was a huge disappointment. If you are looking for a sandwich that is more exotic and has a taste of spice and full in flavour, I would advise to steer away from this one.
