| - Yum! Living in Laveen, there are not a ton of indian places to visit, unless you want to take a little trip! The BF and I were looking for something different, something we don't normally have. After a little bit of yelping, we found this place. Neither one of us have had indian food, and yelpers seemed to like here, so we thought we'd give it a shot! Although Urban Spoon gives completely opposite reviews, we decide, eh why not?? I'm super glad we braved it out, because everything was real good. The BF asked what my favorite dish was, and I didn't have an immediate response to this question, one bit.
Food was great, I really liked the flavors. Everything we ordered seemed to be tomato based as everything had a redish color. I don't know if this is typical indian food or not, but it could be. Anytime the BF and I try something out, we normally order 3-4 things to try out and of course end up taking a bunch home, but I think it's only fair to us, and to the restaurant in order for us all to get a feel for each other. I wish I had a pen and pad so I can say what we had, but I'll try to describe as much as possible.
We had a lamb dish that was served in a tomato sauce with potatoes, and I ended up calling this my favorite. Come to think of it this is actually the only one I didn't know. I know it was in the Lamb section of the menu towards the bottom. Then we went with the Chicken Something Masala (they have a regular masala, and we went with the one with 3 words, haha), it was very good too, little bit oily, and the chicken to me was very dry, almost flakey. Then we went with the Beef Curry just in case we didn't like the other too, this dish was real good too. We ordered this with a side of rice, which was fantastic! I loved the rice, its basamati rice, was very fluffy and light. I loved that the rice didn't take over my whole meal and fill me up before I could enjoy each dish (sauce, is more what i'd call it, considering you really need the rice)
All in all, we'll definitely go back here, I guess until we actually try another indian spot on our way home from work or something. The place is small, they had cute plates, a little bar, that seems as if it will grow if the people come! I can see upgrading the stars with time, and experience!...oh yeah, those 3 things, plus the rice came to just under $35, so definitely sweet on the pocket!
