| - Great service, value and a delicious twist on Indian cuisine.
I came here for lunch today enticed by the "modernistic" moniker in the title and also the yelp reviews. I was greeted warmly and seated at the bar where the staff promptly made friendly conversation. I got good recommendations on the menu and ultimately opted for the seafood thali. What a treat. The dish came with 3 bite size fish pakoras, lentils, potatoes, naan, pappadum, shrimp malabar, rice, yogurt, salad and a choice of gulab jamun or rad malai for dessert. The server forgot to ask my choice and brought gulab jamun, but when I asked for ras malai, he brought me that and didn't exchange it. I got two desserts!
The lentils were a little salty for my taste, but I loved loved loved the shrimp. It's a perfect helping of 4-5 shrimp in a savoury tomato sauce. And the rice was so fragrant! The naans were perfectly tender and had a nice grilled flavour. I wasn't a fan of the potatoes, but that's not to say they weren't delicious. The gulab jamun was a healthy size and sweet! And the ras malai was liht, creamy, not too sweet, and generously showered with pistachios. I liked the place so much I topped off my meal with a steaming cup of unsweetened chai.
This place is great, it has a nice intimate atmosphere. You should come.
