| - Take Out Only Review*
I am so very happy there is now an Indian restaurant in our neighborhood. I was near ecstatic when I learned of their upcoming opening. I've been peeking in windows and organizing a weekly drive-by to check on their progress. Well, after all of my patient waiting they finally opened yesterday.
As I am recovering from the nasty cold that has taken over much of the Henderson/LV population, my husband and I decided to get some food to go.
It took forever. I mean when the women at the counter said 25 minutes, she meant 35+. (Opening day, I can't take much issue with this. However, I do feel as if no place should open until they are ready.) I think she may be one of the owners. Nice lady, but you could see she was exhausted from the initial opening of the establishment.
In any case, we ordered the Samosas, which they were out of. Instead, we ordered the Onion Bhajis. What we received were the Vegetable Pakoras. They were really good. Crispy and light, yet still dense and fulfilling. The cilantro sauce was awesome. Spicy and just tart enough.
For our entrees, my husband ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala ($15) as he always does. We think this was another mix up, because quite frankly it wasn't very creamy and it had way too many peppers and onions in it, which leads me to believe it was the Chicken Jalfrazi. That would explain the extra spiciness that one usually does not find in Tikka Masala.
They have you order by #. Which I think is going to be kind of challenging given the goofs we have experienced thus far. Again, first day...
I ordered the Lamb Korma ($16). Oh my goodness, it was wonderful. The lamb was tender and falling apart. The sauce was very flavorful and had just the right amount of heat so I could feel a bit of sweat building up on my chin. Yummmy! I loved mine, a lot.
We also had some Saffron Rice ($4). It was tasty too. Nothing special, it's rice after all.
There prices are a bit more expensive than our usual India Palace, but the portions are substantially larger. Allowing more than enough for leftovers. Except for the rice, if two want leftovers the next day, order 2 sides of rice.
Final verdict, I will definitely go back for some more and dine in this time as I need to make an update on the floor service.
The interior is lovely, but the lighting was a bit too bright when we were there. Also, they should have had some fabric draped from the ceilings as it would have make a marked difference to the level of coziness and warmth.
P.S. daily lunch buffet, if you're into that kind of thing...
