So I've been meaning to check out this place for a while and since I was in the area today, I decided to check it out. It is located in a strip mall off Pearl Rd in Strongsville. Walking in the decor is modern and clean- it does remind me of Chipotle and has a cool quote from Gandhi on the wall. The server was very friendly and generous in her offerings of samples. She was patient in explaining how the system works which I appreciated.
Ultimately, I got two entrees to go- rice bowls with Lamb meatballs, paneer and chicken. I tried each of the sauces as well as accompaniments and got a samosa to go. Overall, it was decent. It seemed like flavors might have been toned down a bit for American tastes. Would've appreciate some stronger spices since that is what Indian food is known for. Lamb meatballs were delicious and numerous. Chicken was a little bit overcooked. I wish they were more generous with their rice. My wife and I finished the meal not quite full despite having the tasty and well made samosa.
Overall, I'd come again but not make a special trip out to Strongsville to go here. If I was a local I'd probably be back more often. Ultimately I think that I liked Flavors of India a little more, especially their buffet even though it costs a little more. Hope this place succeeds- we need more of these kinds of restaurants in CLE.
