today my friend had a sudden crave for Indian food which reminded me of this restaurant that we went a year ago. this brought back memories of the succulent tandoori chicken we had last time. since our school is not far away, we decided to go there again. it was 1pm when we got there and the restaurant was half full. We ordered two set lunches: chicken korma (which was not on the menu but the staff kindly changed to a set of $75) and aloo lamb curry ($65). we also ordered a portion of garlic naa
it was 1pm when we got there and the restaurant was half full. We ordered two set lunches: chicken korma (which was not on the menu but the staff kindly changed to a set of $75) and aloo lamb curry ($65). we also ordered a portion of garlic naan.
the set lunch comes with soup, salad and appetizer and the main course. the soup quickly arrived which made the both of us really happy as it was piping hot that helped us kill off the chill. the vegetable broth was flavoursome but not too strong.
then the starter arrived which was the salad and pakora (deep fried vegetables frittas). you can tell the pakoras are freshly fried as they are hot and crispy with the onions inside very juicy. they go really well with the sweet and spicy tamarind sauce that was served together.
the main course came when we were halfway through our starter (I'm talking about within 5 minutes of our order). we were happy since the both of us were famished. but we would have felt a bit rushed if we preferred a more relaxed lunch. The food was steaming hot like the soup. The portions look small at first sight but after the first bite, I stop complaining. The sauce of my lamb curry was so rich in flavour and the heat from it was just perfect which made it a perfect combination with the basmati rice or naan. My friend's chicken korma was just equally delicious with a milder and sweeter taste that comes from coconut milk (I think). it matches really well with the moist chicken breast pieces.
I had to mention garlic naan we ordered because it was so nice and crispy. the garlic wasn't overpowering. it was delicious by itself which doesn't need any curry to go with it.
apart from the good quality food, the staff were helpful and friendly. they can communicate in fluent English and Cantonese. last time, they even offered us some Indian sweets. the environment was cosy and has a home-feeling attached to it.
the bill came to around $90 each. I wouldn't argue it was on the higher end comparing to other local Chinese food. but when we took into account the environment, service and of course, the quality of the good, it was certainly money well spent.
some say company is more important than food, but good food can definitely make an experience twice as memorable
