We love the food at 615Chutney--it's well-prepared and delicious. Our issue (as non-20-something adults) is the 'order your food and drinks on your phone' system that makes the ordering process more complicated for the diners. While our server, Mohamed, was a gem and assisted us, we found out too late that we could still request a printed menu and either submit our orders online or through our server. (The website is not helpful for parties who want to order as a group and try a variety of items, or compare one menu item to another, since it only displays one or two at a time on a phone screen.)
