This is likely the only Indian restaurant in an otherwise modestly busy side neighborhood dotted primarily with Thai restaurants. Based upon all the great reviews, we decided to check it out and journeyed from Central up here via the 101 bus.It's a small place, dark and likely a few years past it's prime and definitely in need of a renovation.

It's a small place, dark and likely a few years past it's prime and definitely in need of a renovation. We wandered nearly to the kitchen before the 2 wait staff recognized us to be seated. It would seem this is a popular place where groups do indeed book tables and most of our visit the staff was busy moving tables around. In this small a restaurant it quickly got to be a McDonald's experience (not good). The clientele is mostly local HK'ers and likely those from the neighborhood.
We received some papadums that had clearly been over cooked, the sauces arrived a few minutes later for some reason and only after we asked.
We ordered a traditional masala papadum which is basically a papadum with an assortment of spices and condiment a toppings (looking a little like a pizza). It was decent but nothing special.
We ordered two mains and a plain naan bread. The first main was an okra (also known as Bhindi) masala. Nicely presented and a decent quantity for sharing, well flavored and hot, I wouldn't deem it best in class, but still acceptable. Next out was a vegetarian curry and it had similar attributes, decent but not great or exceptional. The naan was freshly made and hot.
The biggest negative was the tight space and seeming popularity is likely to make for a chaotic dining experience (only 3 tables were occupied while we were there but the staff was already frustrated). They seated a family temporarily at a nearby table and loudly informed them that we were leaving soon and to wait. Clearly a push to get us out.
We got out and aren't likely to return. Sorry, this restaurant isn't deserving of the seemingly good Openrice rating it has. There are much better choices in TST and closer (Tandoori Nights for example).
