This review is more on the atmosphere of the restaurant. But geez, it was cold.We went here on a night when it was 13 degrees outside. What we didn't expect was that in the restaurant it would also be thirteen degrees inside!Tulsi doesn't have a door that closes. The entrance has a couple of plastic flaps that doesn't keep the cold out. The only tables for two people were in full blast of the draught. We asked to move, but were told the table further from the door was for 4 people even though no

Tulsi doesn't have a door that closes. The entrance has a couple of plastic flaps that doesn't keep the cold out. The only tables for two people were in full blast of the draught. We asked to move, but were told the table further from the door was for 4 people even though no one occupied any of the 4 person tables while we were there. The result? We were freezing our way through dinner. Even with our coats on!
Ok, so the food. Difficult as it was to think of anything except staying warm...
Tandoori chicken was tasty, but not classic tandoori. Was more wet and it definitely didn't have the typical tandoori oven treatment and seasoning. Interesting, but with something this classic, I'd like to get what I order.
Lamb saagwala was a rather small portion. However, couldn't fault it taste wise.
Bhindi masala (okra curry) tasted nice, but half the dish was onion, which makes it more an onion curry garnished with some okra. Again, I'd rather get what I ordered.
We ordered a couple of naans. Garlic was decent. Truffle naan is an abomination that should never be. I have serious doubts that it could ever be matched with this style of Indian food. However, when it's oily black truffle from a jar slathered onto naan. Why why why?!
Overall the food isn't bad. Unfortunately, we could barely concentrate on the food as we were freezing. But the spicing while pleasant, doesn't match the price point that they are pitching it at. In particular, it is nowhere near the deft spicing of Tulsi in Quarry Bay, which has years of Michelin recommendations to its name.
Note that I grew up in Malaysia and spent the past 14years in the UK, so I've been eating Indian food all my life and dare say my Indian cooking is pretty decent too.
Sadly, I can't agree with all the glowing reviews here. It's an ok place to eat, but with all the great places in Sai Ying Pun and beyond, I won't be returning.
