First time reviewer here. Last night my fiancee and I felt like eating Indian food, so we went on Openrice to look for a place in Kowloon. Lo and behold, the first restaurant that pops up is: "Indian Restaurant". I don't know if it was a lack of creativity or sheer brilliance- but a name like that is perfect advertising for what you are serving.

First time reviewer here.
Last night my fiancee and I felt like eating Indian food, so we went on Openrice to look for a place in Kowloon. Lo and behold, the first restaurant that pops up is: "Indian Restaurant". I don't know if it was a lack of creativity or sheer brilliance- but a name like that is perfect advertising for what you are serving. Anyhow, we walked there from her school and found the little restaurant tucked away in Kowloon City.
Decor, as others have mentioned, is standard. It's not run down like other places I would expect in Kowloon City, but make no mistake, it's not fine dining. The seating was a bit tight, but the restaurant was not packed yet (6:00-8:00) on a Friday night, so we sat and talked quite comfortably.
The server(s) were pretty nice. We didn't have to wait, and we were seated promptly. I thought he could have explained a bit more about the dishes and the recommendations, but we lucked out and ordered well. So I guess if the food had come out horribly, then this review would be a different story.
The food was really good. The only other Indian place we've gone to here in HK is Tandoori Nights (Gaylord Restaurant) and I would say the food here at Indian Restaurant is better and has a better price point. The first appy they serve is this Salsa Cracker. It was similar to the one we ate at Tandoori Nights. Nothing spectacular, but then again, I don't particularly prefer this dish myself. By the way, beware of the dark maroonish salsa. It's powerful and has a KICK. Don't put too much on your cracker!
We ordered a salad, and that came. It was refreshing to munch on, but again, nothing excellent. It's much like a Greek Salad, but without the Feta and Balsamic Dressing. It's got some kick to it, and I found the raw onions to be a bit too overpowering. But it was a good complement to have throughout the rest of the spicy meal.
Then our Lamb Chops came! Oh! Sooo good. The plate came out sizzling and our server squeezed some fresh lemon juice over the hotplate which added such a wonderful flavor to the already wonderfully marinated chops. The blend of spices was great. I really liked how the chops were tender and soft, but also still had some chew. I like lamb and even the musky taste, but you couldn't really taste it in this dish. I would heartily recommend this as an entree.
We also ordered a Butter Chicken, since my fiancee was craving for it. This place had it down! The chicken in this dish seemed to be grilled first (I'm not sure) because it was so juicy and even a little crunchy. The sauce was done well, with the expected sweet tones coupled with the slightly acidic taste from the ginger and tomato. But it had some heat to it. Overall very creamy and pungent. Very delicious! Oh, the nan with it was also very good. Not the flakiest we've had, but it wasn't greasy either, so I liked it.
We also ordered a coconut to drink.
We lingered at the restaurant for a while, and the owner didn't seem to mind. There weren't customers outside waiting, so we took our time. At the end, our bill came out to be 215. A very reasonable price for such great food, I felt. We paid over 300 at the other Indian Restaurant last time, so this was a good deal.
Before we left, the owner gave us a VIP card that gives us 15% off every visit hereafter. I was already planning to go back, but now I guess I will more often. Even if it's a bit of a walk away!
