The first time I came to this restaurant, I thought I was back in my time in London when there were many small Indian restaurants like Palki. They were a bit no frill but the food standard was really high. So when we came for the first time, we thought it was such a find.One way or another, more than a year has passed since our first visit. Many times I suggested coming back with our elder daughter as she didn't come the last time, someone would have a sore throat, or didn't feel like eating sp
One way or another, more than a year has passed since our first visit. Many times I suggested coming back with our elder daughter as she didn't come the last time, someone would have a sore throat, or didn't feel like eating spicy food or not in the area and many other excuses.
Last Sunday, even though my husband complained about his hundred day cough, we decided to come back. My elder daughter immediately thought it was like an Indian restaurant in London as soon as we sat down. The chefs and servers all looked Indian which gave us even more confidence.
We ordered Lamb Masala, butter chicken, curry crab and a dahl (curry lentil and red bean), 3 naans and one paratha. One dish came with a soup.
The soup was strange as it was a bit like a cream of vegetable soup but a bit spicy. Can't say I liked it, so lucky it was only one bowl.
The curries and breads took a while to arrive as they were being cooked fresh. That was why they were all delicious and yet all tasted very different. if you know Indian cuisine, you will know that there isn't just one sauce that is called curry. The dishes are all different combinations of spices, herbs and other ingredients. Although the crab wasn't big, it had a nice firm texture, sweet flesh and is what we call a flower crab. It was only $145, so very reasonable for any crab dish.
Apologies for the photos as we all forgot about taking photos and started eating. The breads were spectacular. I like paratha more but the rest of my family like naan more. Paratha is made with butter in the dough before being pan fried. Nan is baked in a Tandoori oven. I had a good friend at school who was Indian and once stayed with her sister's family in Ipswich, England for a few days and even ate with my hands very clumsily, that's how I began to love Indian food
My husband ordered a popular Indian desert, dough balls in syrup which he said was one of the best he has had, it came piping hot. We will definitely come back and I have told many friends about this little gem of a restaurant. It beats having to go all the way to India or London for good Indian food
