Ista bar and grill (Closed)

Have not written food reviews for quite a while, but Ista really made me feel that I should say something for it as what I got that day was totally beyond my expectations.It's my first time there and I went there for the restaurant week menu.  Since it's lunch, it came with a buffet. I did not expect much as firstly I am not a keen buffet eater, secondly Ista does not charge high for the lunch buffet.  I read the menu before I made the reservations, the menu said it's a simple Indian buffet with

Hong Kong isn't short of Indian Cuisine for dining options.  LKF and Soho have countless Indian Cuisine dining options, all with well priced lunch options.I've been to Ista a few times now but I'd thought I'd write a review based on the following recent piece of news:- The management has changed hands.  The new manager in there previously worked at Jashan and has pledged to his customers (or at least he was trying to sell me) that they are investing funds to upgrade the lighting and the are incr

I had been to this restaurant before when they had a set lunch and thought it was very tasty. Now I saw that it had a lunch buffet for $118 so I thought I would try it again.The space is big and each table is quite spread out, not like your typical indian place which packs in as many tables as possible.There were a few other tables but the restaurant was not full, which is odd since the other indian places on Wyndham/Hollywood are packed for lunch. I was hoping it was because people didn't know

After Noble Spice, I've been much more willing and eager to try Indian restos in HK. I'm not a big fan of spicy foods but not all Indian food is spicy. Spiced, yes, but not all spicy. Some of the spices, like cumin and tamarind, actually taste quite nice. Training my tastebuds to accept more flavours. Envi

I went there on a Friday evening with Friends for a nice quite dinner, and was again impressed with the restaurant as on all other occasions that i have been there.The decor, and environment lived upto expectation - soft music playing in the background, with the volume just enough so that you can enjoy a good conversation without being bothered by the music. Drinks - we ordered some hard drinks on the rocks, and the measure was just right, unlike most other places that rip you off with the drink

以前都有去過灣仔, 尖沙咀印度餐館, 通常感覺係-食物好味, 但地方總係神神秘秘, 黑暗暗今日一位印度同事帶我到 Ista Bar 食晏, 讓我有新體會第一感覺好光, 裝修華麗高級, 有別於一般印度餐館坐低後, 服務員態度熱誠, 給我們介紹同事介紹我飲Lassi. Lassi 係乳酪一種. 今日係藍莓Lassi.主菜我選了羊同事選了雞Ista 選用Basmati. Basmati 形狀細長，具有濃郁的米香. 同事話Basmati係名貴嘅食材

I totally agree with Puipui and disagrtee with Passers By regarding their comments on ISIA. The service was prompt, cordial and professional. Music was nice and soft (no loud Indian dance music). Meticulous thoughts were given to all its utencils and china wares, as well as calssy decorations. The lentil/spinish soup was delightful and was sufficiently spicy. I enjoyed the cuuried lamb, with basmati rice nicely done. The ending mango lassi was done just right, not too sweet.It was a thorou

This restaurant was actually recommended by a friend from Canada, whose friends are the proprietors.Arrived there at about 7pm on a Friday evening without reservation but was duly shown to one of the many empty tables in the restaurant. To one side is a bar/lounge, taking up about 25% of the entire floor area. The restaurant per se is actually quite pleasant with tables widely spaced and commands a nice view of the area (a little away from the crowds of Lan Kwai Fong). No complaints there as

尋日舊朋友聚會, 想食印度野但又要近中環，Bombay D**** 食過好多次，Gunga又執左，於是揀左新開嘅 Ista。一入去，個環境同一般嘅印度餐廳好唔同，好靚好高級嘅裝修，落地玻璃，淨係睇個水吧已經夠震撼。仲有個好靚衣櫃俾客人存放衣服 / shopping bags，好細心 :-)食煙人士可以放心，唔駛下下落地下食煙，三樓有露天雅座，鍾意飲兩杯食支煙又得。當晚食左 :Makhami (buttered lentil): 要黎點plain naan bread 食一流Curry Beef: 雖然大部份印度人都唔食牛，不過餐牌有牛叫，我地成班牛魔王梗係唔放過啦。 嘩！咖哩煮得香不在話下，D 牛 “林”得黎有咬口，一個字 – 正呀 ! Grilled Stuffed Chicken legs: 通常食印度餐多數都係 tandoori 乜 tandoor 物, 呢個 stuffed chicken legs可算創新兼考功夫嘞；Grilled Lamb Sausages: 喜歡食羊嘅人就千奇唔好錯過嘞，送酒一流Curry Mutton: 呢隻咖哩又唔同 Curry Beef 果個, 呢
