Having been recommended by some Indian friends a while ago, I finally had the chance to try this restaurant today.Despite having made a reservation, we were seated at a table by the side of the buffet table - a bit of a distraction yet tolerable as the lunch time crowd was not too rowdy. We would have liked to be seated a bit further from the buffet queue but it really wasn't too bad. The large windows gave a very spacious and airy feel to the restaurant even though the tables were very close
Despite having made a reservation, we were seated at a table by the side of the buffet table - a bit of a distraction yet tolerable as the lunch time crowd was not too rowdy. We would have liked to be seated a bit further from the buffet queue but it really wasn't too bad. The large windows gave a very spacious and airy feel to the restaurant even though the tables were very close together and the restaurant was almost full at lunch time.
As my friend and I wanted to enjoy the dishes of our own selection as well as the conversation, we decided not to go for the buffet even though the buffet was much more reasonably priced at around $100 per head.
We started off with the vegetable pakora which was not spicy and not too oily. The chowpatty chaat was full of flavour with a variety of herbs - a very appetizing dish to whet our palettes. The Tandoori chicken was nicely marinated, juicy and grilled to perfection - no faults there. The lamb madras was a little bland as far as the level of spicy-ness went but the very tender meat and the sauce more than made up for it. I would have preferred a bit more bite to the dish but than I guess this level would go well with the locals.
I guess the next time I return, I will either go for the lunch buffet or come with a bigger crowd for dinner to try out more of the items on the very inviting menu.
