So I read the reviews on this site and I was a little apprehensive to come out at first. However after just my greeting at the door, my entire pre-consieved idea of this place was turned upside down. With Lisa generously explaining all the vegan dishes to me, and the welcoming smiles of the entire staff, I would say the experience was amazing prior to any food embracing my lips.
I am not a food critic, but when the infusion of flavors like cardamon, garam masala, and chili's are so interwoven, you can't help but share in the love of expression ;p
I recommend the garlic nan, and onion bhaji's to start, then follow up with some butter sauce (note: it's spicy, so go easy lol) on a bed of the sweetest smelling bismati rice ever. I know I will be seeing you there, if this is the order you place, cause I know you will be back again and again. Thank you for the amazing meal and wonderful insight!
I have read many good reviews about this restaurant before I went there to try it out. My experience with this restaurant was horrible. The food smelled and tasted like it was a leftover. It is just not fresh. And I have found the service was not as friendly as some reviews have said. I don't know why. Maybe they had a bad day. But it just make me doubt about the credibility of these reviews. Sadly I guess I will never trust these review any more but I guess I just have to try it out for myself. And if anybody happen to read my review or others about this restaurant, please do yourself a favor and try it for yourself. Because maybe the cook just had a bad day when I went there. It does not live up to its good review at all.
I've eaten here many, many times and every time it's delicious. I've dabbled allover the menu from the creamy Korma and Jalfrezi to the sizzling tandoor platters. Their naan bread is perfect, their samosas are seriously the best I've ever had; always fresh, the pastry is soo good. I almost forgot the chicken pakoras! Ask for the green chutney with these and get them on the spicier side - AMAZING! the Chef also makes his on Kulfi (indian icecream) in mango and pistaccio and they too are delicious. It's very surprising to me to see the review posted below, like maybe they went to a completely different restaurant? The place is family run and the owners are very sweet and attentive. I've always had excellent service, they always ask me how I like the spices and then if they are okay. I've eaten Indian food allover North American, England and Europe and this is seriously the best I've had. hope I can make the trek to India one day to try it there too!
I came here with an East Indian friend of mine. We love Indian food because of its spices. We have been to many Indian restaurants around town and this is the first visit here and it was a BIG mistake. I don't think they used fresh spices at all. We could taste it from the Masala..herb and spices in that dish was not fresh! Vindaloo curry was supposed to be hot and spicy but instead was totally tasteless.
I don't think I ever come back here again because I think I can even cook better Indian dishes that this even though I am just an amateur. Neither the food nor service impressed us.
I have been to this restaurant so many times and love it every time. The food is made fresh to order to your taste which is great. I cant say enough about this restaurant and the food!! The korma shahi is amazing! a must try
