The restaurant is a bit difficult to find – it’s located on the 4th floor of an office building with a relatively narrow entrance. However once you come inside the restaurant is very nice – modern, but unmistakably Indian and more “classy” than your average curry joint.
The menu is very extensive so we had some difficulties choosing, finally we decided on:
Murgh Tikka Peshawar (132 HKD)
Large chucks of boneless chicken, marinated and grilled. The description was something about in cream sauce, so I expected a dish similar to chicken tikka masala, which is isn’t – more like chicken tikka. However the taste of the chicken was very good and it came with a small serving of a minty dip. Unfortunately the chicken wasn't 100% cooked, not raw, but some slightly pink bits. Overall good, but probably would try something different next time.
Palak Paneer (98 HKD)
I had this dish in many places, this was definitely a good version. Lots of paneer, good texture. Relatively mild flavor, not only of Spinach, but also some herbs. Nice texture of the sauce. Overall a very good dish.
Dal Bombay (88 HKD)
A very dark dal, made from almost black beens or lentils (not sure) in a sauce. Again relatively mild, but still enough flavors. This one has a lot of very “dark”, earthy spices. Texture was a bit a liquid for my taste. Overall nice, would eat it again, but given the extensive menu not the next time.
Nan (26 HKD) and Roti (24 HDK)
Very good tandoori nan in structure, texture and flavor, the Roti was a bit chewy – would only order nan next time.
Service is ok, but a bit patchy – sometimes a bit slow, sometimes a bit fast.
Prices are (as you can see above) quite high for an Indian restaurant (in addition they charge 10% service fee), but given the quality and the ambience ok.
