    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/28/2013   As a half-Arab, I'm severely disappointed with this bland recipe. This dish does not resemble anything Middle Eastern. Middle Eastern food uses spices such as cumin, coriander powder, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, chilies...etc. And yogurt sauce is more than just plain yogurt and cucumber, it includes minced garlic, a bit of lemon juice, chopped cilantro and mint. BLAH!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       10/13/2011   I LOVE this recipe! I'm making it again tonight. I don't think it was too bland, and usually I love a lot of flavor. I thought it was delightful.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/30/2011   If you want a tasty alternative recipe, try Martha's Tandoori Chicken Burgers. They are delicious!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/30/2011   Quite bland. Needs some chopped garlic & herbs such as cilantro etc. Also would use chopped red onion & perhaps a bit of cayenne & lemon.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 2 stars       07/27/2011   I wasn't a huge fan of this recipe. It was really bland -- not much flavor in the chicken or yogurt sauce, even after I added garlic, white vinegar, olive oil and dill to it. It was also so messy to eat! Nearly impossible. It wasn't horrible, we just like our food with more poignant flavors.
