There aren't many Indian restaurants on Hong Kong Island (the majority in TST area) and virtually none in the Western District sans The Clay Oven.

There aren't many Indian restaurants on Hong Kong Island (the majority in TST area) and virtually none in the Western District sans The Clay Oven. The restaurant is easy to find on a main street with the tram and bus right at the front door. The interior is nicely decorated but ranks informal. It was a Monday night and the place was quiet. It's family run and the service was personable and a bit familiar.
Since this was our first visit, we tried to stay with standard Indian fare. We also didn't order terribly much (just in case). The bill was quite reasonable, the food more than acceptable and since we live in the neighborhood, clearly a return visit for us. So recommended. Google for their website and online menu (a little colorful with pictures and likely helpful to those new to Indian food).
Here are the dishes we had:
Complimentary starter
We quickly received two freshly made papadums and 2 small Pakora (all vegetarian) with 2 sauces. Both hot and fresh and quite flavorful.
Marsala Papadum
This is a basic papadum with a series of toppings (think Indian crunch pizza). We were impressed with care of preparation and flavorful ingredients.
Vegetable Samosas
These a vegetable filling with spices, chick peas and wrapped in dough and quickly fried. These were hot and flaky with equally flavorful ingredents.
Butter Paneer Masala
Paneer is the Indian version of cottage cheese, cubed and in the typical orange colored butter sauce it was served hot in a serving bowl with freshly grated ginger. We appreciated that each dish had a slightly unique spice element which you would expect for Indian dishes.
Naan Bread
We ordered a plain Naan, we received a nice basket of freshly made hot Naan perfectly charred with a bit of crunch and chew, just what you want.
Overall, there is much to like about this restaurant and while it doesn't warrant a special trip. If you're in Central or West of, this is an nice inexpensive spot for an informal dinner.
