| - I was excited to try Trimurti because of the hype. Unfortunately, my experience here was less than average. I came to Trimurti with my hubby on a weekday evening; the place is not that big, the tables somewhat close together, clean and simple.
They have a variety of Indian dishes on their menu that included soups, appetizers, seafood, non-vegetarian and vegetarian meals, Indian breads and desserts. They also had a nice selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages too.
We had two waiters serving us- one was okay and confused and the second in a miserable mood which made the dining experience rather uncomfortable. We started off with mango lassi's (yogurt shake with pure mango pulp $3.75), and chicken pakoras ($4.95). The mango lassi was one of the best I've had, but for the price they give you very little and over iced the drink. The chicken pakoras were delish- crispy, hot, and had tender white meat inside.
For our mains we had malai kofta ($8.95), chicken badam pasanda ($11.50) and naan bread ($1.95). The portion size was okay, nothing generous. The malai kofta consisted of potatoes and cheese balls cooked in a cashew sauce. The kofta was okay but the cream sauce was thick and tasteless. I dug into the chicken badam pasanda with hope but that too was gross. The chicken badam pasanda consisted of boneless chicken cooked in a creamy cashew sauce. The chicken was tender and the sauce was nauseatingly thick and creamy which overwhelmed the chicken. Also, neither dish had any spice to it. I did not feel like I was eating Indian food at all, and that's coming from someone who is Indian.
Trying these cream based curries here was a big mistake; I didn't even finish my food, which took forever to come to our table in the first place. I will give glory to their naan bread though! The bread was baked to perfection and was hot, fresh and stretchy.
Overall, Trimurti didn't make it in my books. Their slow miserable service and scary cream main dishes had me running out their door. I think I'll stick to the other Indian restaurant options that are in the area instead.
