| - I have been searching for a Indian twist on my Hakka and stumbled upon Guru's. Before walking in I read a few reviews and was armed and ready to give this place a go.
Totally unassuming from the outside, the place was nicely decorated, staff was friendly and happy to bend over backwards to make me happy. I looked over the menu and ordered the Szechuan chicken, Chili Beef (dry), Chili Chinese mix Biryani & Veg Chow Mein. I also noted that most reviews found the food mild and bland so I asked for it hot.
TIP: Other patrons were also requesting the spice level & mostly asking for their food hot. If you like spice, you need to request it or they will play it safe.
The food arrived, it looked great, ingredients and veggies were fresh, the food is definitely with an Indian twist, but tastefully done, it did not derive too much from the usual Chinese Hakka. Spice was present in all the dishes I ordered and was about a 7 on 10 for heat, which is where I like it. Preparation of the food must have been done on the stove. I noticed most of my food was not oily and had a more cooked taste, which I enjoyed. Only complaint was the beef, which was slightly on the firm side, but, I did ask for it dry.
Overall, I think GCC makes a nice place to go to for a twist on the Hakka experience. I would recommend giving this place a try if you want to do the fresher & less oily experience. Great for beginners and those who want to change up their mundane Hakka dinner.
