| - Disappointed the first time, but with our faith in Mr K's taste, we tried it again and was pleasantly surprised.
First time we went for lunch and had mainly chaats (Indian snacks) $4.99-$5.99, which are only served Sat & Sun 12pm-5pm. Our obsession with chaats started at the famous Vik's Chaat Corner in Berkeley, when we used to live in the area. Unfortunately, the chaats here were lacking in flavor, which is a big problem given Indian food, especially chaats, is all about the spices. For the Phoenix area, we prefer Little India Chaat in Tempe - it lacks decor and service but is made up by cheap prices and tasty food.
Given our obsession with good naan and our faith in Mr K's taste, we decided to give it another shot. We went for dinner on a Sunday and ordered:
Saag Ghosht (lamb cubes with spinach in a light cream sauce) $12
- highly recommended by Howard Seftel as "helpfully" quoted on the side of the menu
- we, on the other hand, found the lamb cubes themselves to be dry and bland despite being in a tasty sauce
Fish Goa Curry (fish filets in coconut curry sauce) $14
- Sunday's daily special so came with rice, one naan and salad
- this fish was the BOMB: perfectly balanced subtle spices that complimented the tender flaky fish instead of overwhelming it
- the naan is as good as Mr K claims
Great modern decor and good service. We are definitely going back on a Sunday night for the Fish Goa. Thanks for another good recommendation Mr K!
