| - With all the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas, it's nice to find a place where you can take your time and enjoy yourself and your food. At Origin India, the decor is simple and chic with Hyderabad written all over it. Contrary to the popular Indian buffet, Origin India offers an a la carte menu.
Dishes on the left side of the menu with "Traditional Dishes Served Family Style" come without rice. Dishes on the right side of the menu under "Entrees" come with rice. I recommend ordering from the left side, then getting a side of rice. It comes out economically more friendly and portions, according to the server, are equivalent.
IF you're an herbivore, they're vegetarian-friendly and will have provided you with (V) next to any items that are vegetarian. They also have a vegetarian menu slipped in the middle for your green delight.
To the food...
Home-style chicken curry scented with kaffir lime leaves and smooth onion tomato sauce: I was curry-ous to see how this dish would turn out. My curry hopes were curtailed and there was much more tomato flavor than I would have hoped for. The density was just right, perfect for dipping naan, and if one enjoys tomato sauce with naan, one should order this dish. I, for one, was still curry-ous afterwards.
They have an amazing selection of naan. Their naan is very aromatic with the oven's flavor baked right in. I ordered the
Cheese and Chilli Naan: great oven-baked flavor, very cheesy and went well with the tomatoey curry. Fluffiness with stretchy paneer... yum
Dal Makhani: black Urad lentils cooked with garlic, butter and cream; these bad boys were so delicious, spiced just right with a savory lingering flavor even after you've swallowed. This was on the Vegetarian menu, but we got it as a side, so it was only $7. On the bill, it showed up only as $6. Score! Every dollar saved is another dollar to eat some more!
I intertwined my meal with a tasty
Mango Lassi: smooth and frothy yogurt with natural mango flavor to tantalize my tongue.
As tasty as this drink was, the next dish I had which is the
Oven-baked baby eggplant in Hyderabadi sesame, peanut sauce tempered with curry leaves, mustard seeds and whole red chillies: but it was so disappointing. I only tasted sesame seeds and peanut sauce, but they must have forgotten the pinches of salt.
This dish was made up for with the Vermicelli Pannacotta. Three squares of vermicelli creme with lychee jelly... like something someone would think to make on "Chopped."
Food was 3.5 stars. Ambience was 5. Service was 4. Try this place at least once. I'll be back for a third time.
