Second time in 2 weeks for this humble looking curry house in the residential area of Yuen Long. This time for its heralded Indian curry. I arrived around 6:00pm which I thought was early to avoid the pilgrims in shoals later at night. I ordered totally different things this time, an Indian Style Curried Beef Brisket, a Keema Nan (Nan stuffed with minced lamb meat), and a Allo Chaac (potato salad). Once again I needed the help of the waitress to complete my ordering as the foods and their names were so exotic to me!The starter came first which was actually what I had encountered for the set lunch a week ago, which was still so refreshing particularly the pale green mint paste for the crispy biscuit.The curried beef brisket then came, although I would have loved it more had it been at a higher temperature the curry tasted so good, so aromatic with tinge of herb I didn't know the name of, gorgeous Indian curry all must try! The beef brisket in the curry was a bit disappointing, first of all I didn't like it diced in too small pieces, and I thought it was a bit overdone and as a result a discernible faltering in tenderness and taste of beef!The Keema Nan was a great thing, as the staple of the dinner the baked Nan retained the fragrant of flour and the minced lamb meat stuffed inside tasted so great with a velvet texture, it will be a must for my future visit! The Alloo Chaac (potato salad) came last, it was immediately understandable as it was so meticulously prepared and looked so beautiful! There were diced tomato, cucumber and potato in a red sour dressing and garnished by sprinkle of herbs on top. The veggies were all very fresh, the cooked potato was starchy, albeit lacking in the great taste of potato.

A rainly afternoon around 2 o'clock wandering in the street of Yuen Long, this humble looking restaurant finally came to my sight, since not many people inside off the peak hour, I found a place near the entrance at once. All the waitress there were not chinese and I was handed with a menu all in English. I ordered a lunch set consisted of grilled lamb and pancake ($65), and an Garden Green Salad from a seperate menu ($22).It was the soup that came first, It seemed to be made of rice, quite thick, with a few chicken dices and mushroom inside. It tasted very good, the chicken really had the taste of fresh chicken, yummy!A sheet of crispy pancake then came, I asked the waitress how to serve it and she told me to crumble and dip it into the two dressing that had came with it, the green one was made of mint, and the pink one was made of a plant like small onion, both were very refreshing and they might well serve as starter for the main course.The grilled lamb came at last, with a pancake cut into four served with it. The lamb was quite disappointing as it was not tender and juicy, although I could still get the fresh taste of lamb, the pancake served as staple was not salty as I had expected, quite bulky to feed up a big man like me.The Garden Salad was very fresh indeed for all types of vegetable like lettuce, beef tomato, purple onion, cucumber and even carrot! Frankly speaking I'm not quite comfortable with fresh vegetable without salad dressing, anyway I love it because it is so healthy.I'll go next time for the different curry, expect my review later.

I came here on a weekday knowing full well that it got pretty crowded. They told us there was a private party in the restaurant, but they sat us in a side room (you had to exit the building and go next door into what looked like what used to be a doctor's waiting room. The space was cramped, and it was easy to overhear the other tables (luckily no-one talks in English, so I'm unbothered by it). Still, it was nice of them to seat us somewhere rather than just telling us "Sorry, the whole restaurant's rented out... go somewhere else!"

One of the other reviewers said that the waitstaff was all Indian. I won't say that's racist necessarily... but it's certainly a little dense. There are lots of hints that the restaurant is owned and operated by Nepali. First, there are Nepalese dishes on the menu, and Nepalese beer. Second, there's a big mural of the Himalayas on the wall and the place is called "Shangri La Curry House". Third, there are awards on the wall from the Hong Kong Nepalese Society (or something like that). And finally, their facebook page says "Owned by Mr. Krishna Khadka, a Nepali resident in Hong Kong, Shangri La Curry House HK is a traditional Nepali/ Indian cuisine restaurant located in a New Territory of Yuen Long". So no, the waitstaff is not Indian, they're Nepali.

Moving on... here's what we had.

First, there were free poppadums that came with a white mint/ coriander chutney and some sort of pickle. I want to guess "pickled carrot" but I couldn't really tell. Anyway, I thought the poppadums were flavorful, if not as crunchy as I like; the chutney was very good; and the pickle was also pretty good... not nearly as sour as some Indian pickles one finds.

For an appetizer we ordered some samosas. They weren't very big, but that's a good thing-- I like having room for the rest of my food when the appetizer is done. The crust was crunchy and flaky but also chewy... perfectly done. The filling I thought was a little bland, but luckily I had all this great chutney on the table that I could drizzle over the samosa. I'd say... 7/10

We got two main dishes, a lamb saagwala and aloo gobi. Saagwala (also called 'saag') is a Punjabi specialty, which is sometimes too bitter for me (when its made with mustard greens, for instance), but can also be creamy and delicious. This time I thought it was pretty plain. The lamb had been cooked in a tandoor and this imparted a very 'smoky' flavor to the dish that sort of overpowered whatever other subtler flavors it might have had. I didn't hate it, but I wouldn't have it again. 5/10

The aloo gobi was a real treat. In the past, I think every aloo gobi I've had has been 'dry'-- not a lot of sauce or no sauce at all. This was more of a curry aloo gobi, with a spicy gravy and lots of crunchy minced veggies (scallions and that sort). It had a nice level of spice (we asked for "very spicy"), a tasty sauce, and a nice texture (firm potatoes and cauliflower, crunchy smaller bits, and a silky sauce). I was a fan. 9/10

We had naan and rice too. The naan was denser than I'm used to... it was more like the scallion pastries you get at the bakeries around here. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't good at a sopping up the sauce. Maybe 5/10. The rice was better. Plenty of peas, which I'm big on. 7/10.

In summary, I thought the food was good but not great. Maybe I ordered the wrong things. I'm definitely going to go back here because so many people have recommended it to me and it has such great reviews. I think you can get better Indian in TST, but if Yuen Long is closer to you (or you live there) this place is pretty good. 7/10

we arrived there at around 830pm, it was very full, so we needed to wait for around 20-30 mins. so better book in advnace @@ seems that it 's a family business. all of the waiters/waitresses are indian. not sure if they know chinese as we talked to them in english.

mango lassi: i like yoghurt drinks!!! but there were too many ice cubes inside and the portion was a bit too small. $24

garlic naan: again, the portion was a bit too small. i can't taste the garlic flavour and it was a bit too oily to me, though it's soft and chewy . it tasted good with curry sauce. (i forget the price)

tandoori chicken: the portion was big ( 2 drumsticks and 2 big chicken pieces) and it smelled good!!! in fact it was like 燒春雞. yummy!!! but why didn't they put more spice into it to make it more indian??? $68

prawn curry: this is the type of curry i like, indian curry! but it was not spicy at all (the waitress asked us how spicy we wanted when we ordered dishes, and i said not too spicy, so perhaps they gave us the one that was not spicy at all @@). but there weren't too many prawns inside and the prawn didn't have any flavour.... $108 (i forget the price actually)

wanna try their lamb dishes next time as they wrongly gave us the tandoori chicken instead of tandoori lamb chop. anyway, they were quite poilte and efficient.

it seems a bit mystery since we could really look through outside. However , the interior was surprisingly not bad . nice atmosphere!

we tried many dishes , all are tasty!

The naan bread with creamy green curry source was nice! the bread was not greasy

The vegetable fried rice was of nothing special but became delicious when severed with curry source !

The chicken / lamb makhani were nice also well with source. ( its all about source !)

i didn't try mango lassi coz i dont drink cold , but my friend said it tasted rich and fresh!

The servers were nice and courteous , tho they dont speck Cantonese . A VIP card was given after meal next time i could enjoy 80%off discount . The price was reasonable without discount anyway !

I've been searching for a good Indian place for a while now, I've probably tried almost all the ones on HK side. Most are, I have to say were over-priced and not very good to boot. So it was a decent surprise my friend Shelly (not her real name) introduced me to this place.

Unfortunately or fortunately the place was almost all reserved and packed, and since Shelly didn't make a reservation we luckily or unluckily had to sit at the table that was literally just inside the door. But the door opening or people jamming me was never an issue so it was fine in hindsight. The decor has a typical South Asian Feel to it and it maybe a bit on the dark side. I would suggest a soft spot light for each table, because Indian food is typically very colorful and the darkness kind of obscured that quality. Also if you only speak English, you are in luck since all the waitress I'd conversed with all spoke fluent English ... Score! I know one of the waitress spoke Cantonese, but since I didn't have to fumble out the old Chinese, I don't know how good their Cantonese is.

Anyways, the service was prompt and we got a complementary appetizer of some sort of pita type bread chip with garlic vinegar and a yogurt(y) dip. Not bad and it was refreshing to the palate.

We ordered a Chicken Tikka Masala which I was hoping tasted like a Pakistani place back home in the states, Lamb Curry, and some Naan instead of rice. The Chicken Tikka Masala was really good but was missing a "kick", not quite as good as the Pakistani place I was talking about but better than anything I've had in HK so far, plus the Chicken had no bones which is crucial or that would of been a deal breaker. The lamb curry was decent enough, but the flavors were a bit weak for my taste. I am pretty good with spicy but out of kindness for my friend, we went with medium spicy and honestly I didn't feel any burn at all which was probably what the CT Masala was missing.

Anyways my friend and I were there for quite a while and the waitress refilled our waters without asking and didn't bother us at all. Overall I enjoyed my visit and expect to go there again, but this time with a reservation.

my rating of 3 is good/pass, if I was around the area I would consider it, but I wouldn't purposely go there. A rating of 4 I would actually purposely plan to go there. A rating of 5 is well, I'll be a frequent customer.

Mango Lassi - must try!!!
