| - Either I was very lucky or things are much-improved over the previous reviews.
I was disappointed to find the place empty, but it was snowing that evening, which may have kept people away.
The décor was very pleasant - elegant and understated. I was seated on the upper level, which afforded me a view of the full restaurant. Instead of seating me wherever, they truly gave me the best table in the place.
The waitress was very hospitable and friendly. And, the food was very much to my liking!
For an appetizer, I ordered the Samosa rolls. They were presented like egg rolls and in similar wrappers. While somewhat unconventional, I found them tasty, hot, and crispy. The chickpea sauce served alongside had a great level of heat and flavor. I also ordered the Masala fries with Indian ketchup. Just ok, but not special enough to warrant the calories or expense.
The Malai Chicken Tikka was outstanding! Tender and juicy, the chicken was grilled to a turn and not at all tough & dry like I've had in the past. The flavor was great as well. (It was even tasty the next day as leftovers!)
Finally, I asked for a side of Lachha Paratha. Hot, butterly, and flaky, it was an delicious accompaniment to the chicken. The sauces served along the side (mint, tamarind, and mint-yogurt) were all tasty as well as refreshing.
I would definitely eat there again.
