I'm really quite confused as to why there are so many high reviews of this place. I came here on a Sunday evening with 4 other people. The restaurant itself is very nice and clean and the service is great other than the fact that the waitress recommended WAYYY too much food for all of us. She recommended that between 5 people, we should order 4 appetizers and 4 mains. We're all big eaters so didn't think much about it until the food arrived. We ended up ordering 3 appetizers and 4 mains and two mango lassi.
We ordered the pukka chaat, vegetable pakoras and chicken 65 to start and the boatmans curry, butter chicken, punjabi chicken curry and the beef short ribs as the mains to share.
The pukka chaat was delicious. It was fresh and crispy and a great start to the meal. It is on the spicy side which I didn't expect and wasn't too big on since I knew the chicken dishes would be spicy.
The vegetable pakoras aren't your typical pakora. I wouldn't recommend this dish. It came in sticks of vegetables which were soggy and nothing special. I've had better at Indian buffets.
Chicken 65 tastes like Hakka style chilli chicken. It also wasn't anything special considering this was one of their most popular appetizers.
The boatmans curry was delicious. It was light and creamy. It's different from most other curries I've had. It was almost similar to a thai curry. For $32, this is a splurge.
The butter chicken was pretty good. Tastes like your typical butter chicken. Nothing I would go out of my way for.
The Punjabi chicken curry was decent in my opinion. I would never order this if it were up to me, but a couple of my dining patrons thought it was delicious.
The beef short ribs were delicious. The meat was soft and sweet.
Overall, I thought the food was just okay. I don't think I would be back considering the price. I know that part of what your paying for is the cleanliness and service, but I'd rather pay less and ignore all that for better food.
