Came on a Wednesday night and it became much busier than expected as the night went on. Prices aren't cheap here but they have a couple of options for set menus -- we opted for the combo for 4, which easily could've fed 5. Portions are generous.
- 2 TYPES OF BBQ PLATTER: not bad but I've had better BBQ pork and duck at grocery stores/chinese BBQ joints
- WHOLE FISH: tender but the veggies it was served with were very bland.
- SOUP: presumably what the above fish and veggies were cooked in. Super milky, delicious.
- CURRY CRAB WITH NAAN: curry was SWEET. and not in a good way. It's as if they added sugar when they meant to add salt. Instead of having the dish taken back, we asked the manager to take a spoonful to taste and confirm whether it was actually supposed to taste that sweet. He took the spoon to the kitchen and once he emerged, acted as if nothing happened at all, even after walking by and checking on our table multiple times. Umm..??? When pressed, he explained it was indeed to taste that way. There was a lot of potential here if only the flavour was more balanced and came with roti instead of naan (again, comparable to grocery store quality)
- TOFU AND VEGGIES: tofu and emoji mushrooms in a slurry of cornstarchy seaweed sauce. Again, had potential but too sweet.
The service aside from the really bizarre interaction with the manager post-taste was extremely diligent. We spotted a couple of kitschy dishes served at other tables, such as chicken served in a smoke dome and a teapot smoking with dry ice. Hard to say whether I'd give this place another shot...if anything, I'd only get another combo meal if I'm with a larger crowd yet don't have high hopes. Like a non-celebratory group meal.
