| - This is the first Indian restaurant I have been to since moving to Charlotte 8 months ago. I heard it was good and when I checked out their website, the menu looked interesting. You don't see the prices listed there, though, and there is a reason. They're high, especially for Charlotte. I dropped almost $70 all-in for dinner, but the food was so good I thought it was worth every dollar. It was a classic case of getting what you pay for. And the atmosphere, as part of a historic house, was the nicest I have ever seen in an Indian restaurant. Since I was alone, I sat at the small but very nice bar.
I ordered two glasses of a very tasty Riesling, the Gunpowder prawns, and the "modern" scallop entree, both of which appeared to have so many weird ingredients I wasn't sure how I would react to them. I needn't have worried, since both the appetizer and entree were among the most delicious of their general type that I have had anywhere. I also got a serving of garlic naan, which was terrific, though I took most of it home with the amazing basmati rice that came also.
This is not your typical Indian restaurant. It's avant-garde, it's unusual, it's a Carolina adventure. Most of all, it's amazing.
