| - We are always eager to try a new Indian (or Indian inspired) restaurant, particularly one that is close to where we live, so we were eager to try Inde Fusion. I guess I can sum it up by saying it was pretty good, but not great.
On the plus side, the restaurant is attractive, and the staff were very polite and accommodating. The food, however, was a mixed bag. Based upon other reviews, we started with the salmon croquettes. They were worthless. Just a tasteless mush with some nondescript raita sauce on the side. You should skip them.
My wife had the cashew and pumpkin ravioli. I snuck a taste and they were okay, but they were served lukewarm at best. I don't know why restaurants don't understand that hot food taste best when it is actually served hot, but they don't. As to the flavors, it is a clever idea to mash up various cuisines, but my wife thought the masala sauce was just too discordant for the ravioli.
On the other hand, I had the Salmon with the purple mashed potatoes. The salmon was a nice size, and cooked just as requested. It was very enjoyable. So was the mango salsa on the side. But the signature purple mashed potatoes were a disappointment. Yes, they tasted pretty good, with a certain sweetness, but they were thick and heavy like glue.
So, overall, I would rate the restaurant somewhere between okay and good. We will probably go back to try some of their other items. In the meantime, we will continue to rely on Marigold Maison and Jewel in the Crown for more traditional Indian food.
