| - My party arrived at this restaurant and it was surprisingly dead with maybe two or three other tables being served. The place had a chic modern lounge feel to it with the kitchen having glass windows so diners could observe the chef at work. Our table ordered butter chicken, fish curry, rara mutton, dum pukht chicken, dum pukht mutton, and some deep fried paneer ball appetizers, with several sides of butter naan. The rara mutton was very fragrant and delicious, with the mutton being very tender. The dum pukht dishes were also quite good, while being distinctly different from each other. I found it interesting that they would cook it like a souffle or pot pie but, as according to our server, the crust was not meant to be eaten but rather a means to lock in fragrance, flavour, and moisture. I sampled my friend's butter chicken some time after having finished with the dum pukht and found it relatively bland (like going from eating something so complexly flagrant to something as simple as chicken in cream of tomato soup)--they insist it was delicious so maybe I'll try it before eating something heavily spiced. Overall I found the food was a bit overseasoned as I found myself reaching for my glass of water more so than usual. Still, I would be interested in exploring the rest of the menu here. Recommended.
