我哋兩條友喺灣仔氹下氹下忽然間想食印度嘢,碌下openrice就揾咗呢間餐廳.本來見冇乜人寫食評,都冇乜太大期望,結果竟然喜出望外!我哋1pm度去到,老細兼樓面叔叔好friendly咁招呼我哋坐靠窗嘅梳化位.雖然舖仔細細,但係坐得幾舒服,又好乾淨企理(<-我呢個死潔癖即刻喺心入面畀個like LOL). 我哋叫咗個咖哩角(3隻), 雞豆masala,秋葵masala, naan同埋aloo paratha(薯仔烤餅). 咖哩角熱辣辣新鮮炸出嚟,外面鬆脆,入面啲薯仔豆蓉好香香料味,點埋個chutney(沾醬,一個係羅望子醬,甜甜酸酸;一個係青醬,小小酸辣),食落惹味又唔膩.仲有佢個咖哩角比起其他印度餐廳大少少,幾抵食!雞豆masala同秋葵masala各有各精彩.雞豆masala個汁好香濃,啲豆煮得洽到好處,軟得嚟又唔會太爛,非常入味;秋葵masala就有落埋蕃茄一齊煮,香辣得嚟又有啲蕃茄嘅酸甜balance番,味道有層次! 食印度嘢又點少得naan同paratha!佢個naan整得好鬆軟,個底金黃色脆脆哋(我個人唔太鍾意啲烤到燶晒嘅naan),咬落有彈性唔會"削",正!!!成

食印度嘢又點少得naan同paratha!佢個naan整得好鬆軟,個底金黃色脆脆哋(我個人唔太鍾意啲烤到燶晒嘅naan),咬落有彈性唔會"削",正!!!成餐唯一可以挑剔嘅就係個aloo paratha. Paratha應該係薄啲酥脆啲嘅,佢呢個就似係naan多過paratha,不過味道唔錯,堅有薯仔餡,冇偷工減料.
可能因為係樓上舖,樓下又冇海報/易拉架廣告,所以好少客,希望多啲人可以留意到呢間咁有誠意嘅小店啦!

Sis and I got in at around 1pm and was warmly welcomed by the owner. I'm a bit of a clean-freak so I was immediately impressed by the clean and well-illuminated interior. The place was small but cozy with appropriately spaced seats.
We ordered veg samosas (3 pc), chana (chickpea) masala, bhindi (okra) masala, plain naan and aloo (potato) paratha. The samosas were fresh and hot. The pastry was nice and crispy, but what won my heart was the (generous portion of) mashed potato and pea stuffing inside. It was sooooo aromatic with the spices! The refreshing coriander chutney and the sweet-and-slightly-tangy tamarind chutney served along with the samosas were like the icing on the cake (the coriander one was especially impressive *thumbs up*).
The masalas were great too! Coated in a rich and moderately hot gravy, the chickpeas were soft but not too mushy. The okra was nice and tender in the more tomato-y sauce, which had a nice balance between the heat and the sweet-and-sourness. Both went so well with the breads. The naan was hot and fluffy and --most importantly-- not charred (I hated overcooked a.k.a. burnt naan). The only complaint I got was about the aloo paratha, which was a little too fluffy for a paratha and was more like a naan in my opinion. The flavour was nice though.
My whole experience here in Utsav was brilliant. Nice environment, decent food at a reasonable price, and friendly staff. I'll definitely be back soon!
