Bindaas Bar & Kitchen (已結業)

ABERDEEN某家手工布袋店減價，又可以添置獨特又靚靚環保購物袋，我倆順便在附近晚餐。朋友想到這家酒吧的餐廳，喜愛扮蒲！只因為餐廳就在布袋店的斜對面！初時以為酒吧只提供西式小食。其實此店咖哩！是我喜歡的印度咖哩！　還有LIVE BAND呢！　頗特別的配搭。就座後，先要點菜，再細聽LIVE BAND表演，還有那印度黑白電影，很有陳寶珠謝賢那年代的風格。     Sev Puri   餐牌這樣寫：Savoury Canapes, Boiled Potatoes, Micro Vermicelli, Assorted Chutneys    結構：底部小脆餅／軟綿綿薯仔／紅色＆綠色醬／幼身炸麵   表面脆身炸麵和底部硬身脆餅，夾著中間軟身薯仔和二色醬料。脆身炸麵，薯仔和底部脆餅，味道不太強。但紅色和綠色醬汁，甜中帶鹹又辣，就主導了這個小食的靈魂了！豐富的口感和味道，不愧是餐牌推介的小食！    Boti Kabab  Grass Feed Beef Tenderlion Chunks, 48-hour spicy marinade   Tandoori版本草飼牛。牛肉有腌料有底味，很軟身。看到滲出來的紅油，就想起Tandoori Chicken。帶鹹又香辣的牛肉，配青色及橙色醬汁，我倆都在猜，芒果？薄荷？   Chilli Paneer 即是Palak Paneer。幸好自己平常食咖哩，Paneer是印度芝士。青ＢＢ的菠菜咖哩，當然要配Naan，而個人比較喜歡配原味Naan。　這個Naan底部脆身，表面軟綿綿，單以手指就感到二種質感，這個Naan合格。   Gajar Halwa & Rabdi　嚐過辣的咖哩，就要以甜來解辣。平常大都是圓形炸麵粉溝勁甜糖漿的Gulab Jamun偶爾試試新玩意，也不錯。　　印象中，這個Halwa是甘筍有關的甜品。而餐牌：Black Carrot, Whole milk, Dried Fruit, Nuts　　黑色甘筍？真身卻是有如黑糯米的東西，伴著鍊奶和開心果碎。不過這個黑色甜品很特別，鍊奶雖是甜，但仍嚐到開心果碎碎和黑色的甜品的原味！没有Gulab Jamun那般＜甜到漏＞。   Mango Lasi   在印度餐廳，就來一杯印度的Mango Lasi。   回顧今晚食物，除了Boti Kabab是牛肉之外，其他都是素食。真係無啦啦健康左！…查看更多

在PMQ下面路口，有一間小小，不起眼的餐館，賣的卻是種類繁多的印度菜。印度之大，各處有不同的香料，煮食口味，就連咖哩也不知有多少變化，想一嚐究竟，這裏就適合了。星期二、四晚上有live music，配合柔和的燈光，醉人的bar，餐廳氣氛極好。這些是剛提到，包括印度不同地區的食物。其中真的要提到變化多多的印度咖哩。在店員推介下，我點了一蔬菜 -- Do Phool Ek Tandoor, 一小食 -- Tangdi Kebab, 一主菜 -- Saag Gosht 和 Garlic Naan 及 RotiDo Phool Ek Tandoor是加了咖哩粉和油去焗的西蘭花和椰菜花。雙色花都焗得棯身，咖哩味道不算很突出，但有點提鮮作用。上面是忌廉和乳酪醬，為菜色加多一分風味。Tangdi Kebab即香料燒雞鎚。香料帶一點辣，但惹味非常，微微的辣更刺激味蕾， 十分開胃。如果怕啦不妨加一點醬汁，清新有點甜，有解辣之用。值得一提的是，這些小雞鎚已去皮，一點也不肥膩。Saag Gosht羊粒用菠菜茸煮成美味的佳餚，本來沒有主吃，naan 和 roti是另叫的。想不到Garlic naan和菠菜茸如此的相配，即使沒有羊肉也可以自己吃掉一整個Naan。 另外，羊肉煮得很棯，份量也相當多，二人分享也足夠。真是相當滿足的印度菜，如有多些人，不防多叫一些不同的菜式，傳統的口味不太易找到呢。…查看更多

記得一年前與好友到此，當時我倆都覺得很滿意。昨天與男友到中環PMQ附近覓食，沒有特別那一間餐廳想試，那麼便到這裡😍它位於鴨巴甸街，鄰近PMQ雖然這裡有bar,但是我們沒有點酒精飲料。我們點了Bindaas Ice Lemon Tea ($48) 及 Masala Ladsi ($58)先來一份小食Pao -Bhaji ($128)Smashed seasonal vegetables & Potato, Fresh Tomato Puree, Chowpatty Spices 主菜Boti Kabab($168), 十分美味Grass Fed Beef Tenderloin Chunks, 48-hour spicy marinadeBindaas Chicken Tikka Masala($168)推介Braised Boneless Chicken, sliced onion & whole spicesCheese Naan ($38)…查看更多

My friend reserved a table for 9 pm, but when we showed up table wasn't ready, which isn't that unusual. But after waiting around for over 40 minutes (when our food order was already taken) and being told (for 20 minutes of that time) that our table was getting ready to leave, I went to check and saw that the table hadn't even been presented with their bill. We were eventually seated at 10 pm, when our moods were already not great. A free 'shot' (consisting primarily of juice) does not make up for an hour long wait for a booked table.Because of this, there was some confusion about whether we were being offered the round of draught beers we had while waiting on the house. But regardless, bottom line is a restaurant that makes its customers wait an hour on a booked table should most certainly try harder at keeping its customers happy. Or tell them that they can't honour the booking, at which point we would have certainly been able to go elsewhere.The food, in fairness, was decent quality Indian food. Probably even good by Hong Kong standards. Not stand out though. Compared to other places like Tulsi (Quarry Bay), Serendib (Sheung Wan), Black Salt (Sai Ying Pun, though not strictly Indian) and some other smaller places around Nathan Road, it didn't sing on my palate (I grew up in Malaysia and then the UK so think I know good Indian food!) as really good Indian food does with its spicing. Anyway, when it got to paying the bill, there was then a big disagreement over how many beers had been promised for free or not. We were only ever disputing the 5 beers we had out while waiting (they said only the second round was on the house, and not the ones while we were waiting an hour *eye roll smiley*), not those for any additional people that joined us at the end (because we were so late that people we would have been meeting elsewhere had to come there).Regardless, the whole experience put a sour taste in our mouths. Not to mention it was my friend's birthday (his first in Hong Kong). Honestly, I am not out to get free things from restaurants (you can read my numerous other reviews here and on a well-known international trip review site) but I get annoyed at restaurants that don't understand you're paying for the experience and don't seem to appreciate how frustrating it is to be made to wait that amount of time for a booked table, then are so arrogant as to threaten customers with calling the police.For the money they are charging, there are certainly plenty of other restaurants that will give you food as good or better, along with great customer service. Perhaps you'll be more lucky than us and have a much better experience.  But I wouldn't count on it.…查看更多

The naan pizza he ordered was Oriental style, with manchurian. Light gobi manchurian and enough cheese, this was decently executed. I ordered a Malabar paratha and baingan mirchi salan. It took time to arrive but were nicely executed as well. Tasty curry and nice paratha. Realizing it wouldn't be enough, we also ordered a garlic naan and egg curry. The naan was light and evenly cooked. The egg curry came nicely presented on a wooden board with soft buttered and lightly toasted pav. More photos and details on blog. Link in profile.…查看更多

Dinner: (1) keema pao - one of my favs here...kinda like a sloppy joe...nice brioche-like bun that's moist but toasty and the ground beef is well portioned w a nice kick in it; (2) chicken kali miri naanza - not a fan...basically just pizza but the crust is a bit thick for my liking; (3) sev puri - really interesting, bite sized apps...not my fav but still tasty w a nice crunch; (4) chicken tikka masala - this is the best...the texture of the curry was nice and creamy w good portions of chicken; (5) chingri malai curry - this was a bit watery...texture of the prawn meat gave me the impression that it wasn't that fresh and that it was overcooked/slightly mushy; (6) do phool ek tandoor - simply flavoured broccoli and cauliflower to balance off the heaviness of the entire meal; (7) naan - perfectly cooked and just the right amount of thickness...just perfect. OVERALL - decent. SUGGEST - keema pao, chicken tikka masala, naan. How I rate: awesome > decent > meh > terrible. …查看更多

me and my family walked in at 8.30 pm on a Saturday without a reservation. The guy asked us if we had a reservation and when we said NO he straight away denied giving us a table and just walked away. The funny part is there were 3 tables empty.. That's not a way to treat in a hospitality industry... in short if u don't have a reservation your not treated well in Bindas (arrogance) …查看更多

Horrible Service ... Food is below mediocre ... Ask for their Gin based drink Indian Ocean with Bombay Sapphire and i was told it does not come with Bombay Sapphire. What i got was a freakin cucumber based drink with almost no Gin at all. Their specialty naanza had burned veggies with too much salt. Over all very disappointed.…查看更多

but dont get the duck korma - that was bland, lukewarm, did NOT taste of duck in any shape or form and has the texture of fermented diarrhea aka trump's mouth. the chicken tikka masala though, was pretty nice. everything clicked in that little delicious pot, except for the portion size, but whatever. the chicken naanza is tasty, but it won't make your balls twitch. the garlic naan is nice and crispy but needs more garlic butter. They need to put salt and pepper shakes on the tables, that ish is NECESSARY. One waiter also had corpse breath that lingered.…查看更多

I can relax there, love the live band with relaxing and soft music ! have nice environment to talk with friend. Food with a bit small dishes and yammy ! :)…查看更多

First off, I would say the food seemed pretty good...but this was the first time I have left a meal half way through in HK.  The service was the rudest I have ever had in HK.  Among other things, we ordered chicken tandoori and basmati rice.  The tandoori came and we asked if we could have the rice now as well.  The waitress claimed we should have the rice later with the other dishes.  We said no, we would like it now.  5 minutes later, she slams the rice on the table and walks off.  The manager was at the bar next to us. We explained what happened and he immediatily said he would take care of it.  In the back ground we and the rest of restaurant could here her yelling that we were rude.  We were in no way rude...just asked for the food in the order we would like to have it.  The manager and the waitress came to the table and no apology just the waitress telling us again that we were rude.  At this point we lost our appetite and said we were willing to pay for what we had but were finished.  The manager would not not accept our money which we appreciated, but more importantly we just would've liked an apology from the waitress.Based off this experience, we will never go to Bindaas again.  There are better Indian food options right in the area.…查看更多

Bindaas describes the food as a "selection of traditional fare, inspired by a variety of age old recipes and spices from the secret kitchens of India - all with a unique contemporary twist. Snack on popular street food from different nooks and corners of India." Think high-end small plates, with lots of carby fried things.The restaurant is relatively dark. On a Tuesday there was live music, and the band contained a white woman with dreads. My wife remarked that the music was "white woman with dreads music." Some songs I recall: Tracy Chapman, "You've Got a Fast Car"; Bob Marley, "No Woman No Cry"; and David Grey, "Babylon". There are three main sections of the food menu: "Street Corner," "Small Plates," and "Curries and Mains." We ordered only off the first two. "Street Corner" consists of three sub-sections: "Pao," which the menu describes as "very similar to the Chinese 'bao'," "Naanza," which is a portmanteau of 'naan' and 'pizza,' for reasons I'm sure you can imagine, and "Chaat," which is kind of a catch-all term for a savory food cart snack. We got one of each of these, plus two things off the small plates menu. It was too much food.The pao (from Portugese 'pao,' frequently 'pav') we got was the keema, "minced goat, green peas, binaas spice blend" ($128). You get two soft rolls, which are not very similar to Chinese bao, but more like a cafeteria-style dinner roll, and then a pot of goat and peas. "Sloppy joe" was what came to my mind. I was a little disappointed, as I couldn't really tell that this was goat. If you told me it was beef, I would've been 100% sold. I think the spices ultimately mask the flavor of the meat and then the roll isn't all that great.This is from the small plates menu, the 'Dosa' Chili Cheese Roast ($98), "Mini Rice Pancakes, Cheese & Chili Stuffing, Red & White Chutney, Gun Powder." I liked this. It had a decent spiciness, a nice cheesy flavor, and came in a dosa wrapper that was floppier and less crispy than a dosa. It's not must-try, but it is good.The naanza we chose was the khurmi, "Medley of Tossed Vegetables, Indian Herb Mix" ($118). We wanted to get some vegetables in the meal. The naanza is a piece of naan, this one pretty thick and dense, covered in a topping and then I think mozzarella cheese on top, though the menu says "cheese mix," so maybe something else as well. I couldn't really identify the vegetables, because I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention, but I do think I got some kind of pickly green pepper at one point. This is a large menu item suitable for a meal for one.Our chaat was the sev puri, "Savoury Canapés, Boiled Potatoes, Trio of Chutneys, Fried Chickpea, 'Micro Vermicelli'" ($78). It comes on top of puri, an unleavened, fried bread that is airy and crispy. On top of that is mashed potatoes and chutney, both cold, and sprinkled with sev (the 'micro vermicelli'), crunchy chickpea-flour noodles. I think I liked this least: cold mashed potatoes are just not my thing.The final dish of the night was the Hat-Trick!, "Battered Cottage Cheese - 3 ShapesCrusts & Dips" ($118). I take back my earlier comment, this was what I liked the least. Deep-fried paneer is just not any good. Paneer is already pretty low-moisture and dense, but this is dry as the desert and dense as the Earth's core. Or something. There's no cheesy meltiness, no cheesy tanginess, just dry flavorless nothing that makes you wonder why you're even trying to eat it, until you give up and don't.I'll admit that I was fairly disappointed in this restaurant. We tried to make a meal of small plates, but the small plates menu consists mostly of, on the one hand, meat, chicken, and seafood, and on the other hand, starchy things like potatoes, pancakes, and patties. We wound up with a meal that was pretty heavy everywhere, and I don't think that's just bad decision making on our part. We didn't order off the "curries and mains" section, but my guess is that's the best place to find a balanced meal here. Total bill was $850 for the above, two cocktails, and two beers.…查看更多

SOHO區是夜蒲好去處 香港 人人都知 而我偏偏愛寧靜不喜歡和人塞逼 所以常常選擇午飯時段過來 既不用訂位 又不用聽到漫天的吵雜音樂 當然這只是個人選擇 我相信夜晚自有夜晚的氣氛是日雖然落著微微小雨 但還是決定經堅道沿著鴨巴甸街來個雨中漫步 餐廳位於鴨巴甸街和荷里活道交界 很容易找得到。不出所料 店內客人不多 放著印度版的輕音樂 非常適合想要聊聊天享受美食的食客。 中午時段 餐牌上提供5-6款 前菜tapas 加上5-6款午市套餐lunch set 從菜色的描述上已讓人食指大動我們選擇了兩款tapas 同1款午市套餐： 1. Keema:印度馬沙拉醬(masala)煮免治羊肉搭配軟包；免治羊肉加上青豆洋蔥加上馬沙拉醬 放在塗上奶油烤的表面金黃的軟包 喜歡馬沙拉醬入菜的人定不能錯過。2. Sev Puri:因為不懂印度文 加上從沒有在其他餐廳看過這道菜 只能盲目的點 沒辦法愛嚐鮮。以圓鐵盤上桌 底下有脆餅墊底 每一塊脆餅上都配上切成碎塊的薯仔，碎洋蔥和不知名的香料 最後在上面灑上用雞豆製成的貌似公仔麵的脆脆。 整體味道融合 口感多變 非常值得一試。3.Mutton Saagwala 午市套餐綠色的菠菜醬令我想起綠巨人Hawak 雖然Hawak不是鍾意食菠菜 不過這道菜除非你(男士)怕綠色 又或者食到羊 會反胃 如果不是絕對值得一試 羊肉煮到入口即化 配上足夠的菠菜醬 一碗飯好易解決。整體來講 食物有驚喜 價錢在今時今日港島消費 非常合理 附近大把是食噱頭價錢貴 但令人失望的餐廳 所以如果有過SOHO區 非常推薦！！！…查看更多
