First thing I loved about this place was the colourful decoration and their attempt to make it as authentic looking as possible, with the framed picture of Dalai Lama, the flags, and the floor seating. We started off with the vegetarian momo's, but were warned that it will take some time to make. It arrived after around 15 minutes piping hot in a bamboo steam basket. They looked exactly like Chinese dimsums, so I found it really odd not eating them with chopsticks. They served this with their hot sauce. Omg, these momo's were spectacular and with the hot sauce the flavour was even more amplified!
Fortunately, it was a weekend, so I was able to order their thali. I chose the vegetarian one with the fried cauliflower. One friend got the mutton curry with their steamed bread (forgot the name) and my other friend got the paneer Manchurian with rice.
My thali was so simple but this simplicity was what made it so good. The spices and flavours did not hit you in the face, they were very subtle but yet the food seemed so pure, and again, simple, where you can actually taste the ingredients actual flavours. The portion size was perfect and there was free re-fills for the thali, except the fried cauliflower.
The mutton curry was a total hit! He loved it, especially when he soaked the steamed bread into the gravy. I tried the mutton gravy and again, you can actually taste the flavour of mutton rather than just spices.
The service was great and I will definitely make this place a regular. Next time I gotta try their spicy fries, which I got a glimpse of from the table nearby, and it looked incredible!
