| - Finally the forbidden fruit has been taste - and it taste fan-friggen-tastic!!! So good that I ate enough to make myself physically ill from being too full all night long.
We arrived last night late for dinner, approximately 9:05pm (I know, I know, Indian that late, I must have been crazy), but after 2.5 years of missing my chance, I didn't care when I came here.
Hostess was polite and letting us know things shut down straight away at 10 (that's fine) but seated us all the same. Even for this time at night the food trays were still hot and filled with food. They continued to even restock the Naan bread consistently throughout the last hour despite the two of us being some of the only patrons actively getting grub.
I really enjoyed the tandoori chicken, butter chicken and the goat curry - like a lot! But what surprised me most was the vegetarian curry options (paneer dishes). They were equally flavourful and I could have easily eaten entirely vegetarian and been totally content -- that's a first folks TRUST ME.
After two rounds I was stuffed beyond measure, even now as I write this 14 hours later, I'm still feel full. BUT it was all so damn good!
Despite my fullness my friend encouraged me to at least try a few of the dessert options (rule of thumb, stay away from all western looking desserts - locals know these are not made fresh, so just stick with the Indian desserts, they're yummy! I really enjoyed the vermicelli-pudding (think rice pudding with noodles) and the translucent sugared pumpkin - NOM! Event he shaved carrot dessert had me like "whoa".
You bested me this time Tandoori Flame, but I'll be back damn soon and hungry, so beware.
Eatcrest Out!
PS - reason for 1 star reduction was due to inattentive service, I assume it was due to late hour so I can't totally fault them, will assess and report back on next visit.
