| - So. The reviews were all over the place for this restaurant. But I had a hankering for palak paneer and there is not another Indian place for miles.
Also, it is a Sunday and had been a long weekend with the kids. So, my lovely wife agreed to go and get takeout.
The stakes were high: if this dinner worked out, it would solve the dilemma of living very far from another restaurant. If not, I was going to be angry about the only option being subpar.
We ordered palak paneer and chana masala. She came back a short time later - the order was ready in 10 minutes - with those items and an extremely large container of basmati rice.
At first look, and then first bite, I wasn't sure about the chana. It was with a little oiler than I am used to, but it turned out just to have separated in transit, and after stirring it up a bit, it was fine. My wife thought it was a little sweeter than some we've had in the past but I was certainly satisfied with the spice level.
The palak paneer was outstanding. Equal to the best I've ever had. Had a kick, too. True, I was very hungry and was in the mood for it, but my wife agreed with me that it was tremendous.
I forced myself to stop eating so I could save a little of each dish for tomorrow.
We will be back!
