A modest little place worth checking out. Very clean, nice interior. It seems that Indian restaurants have either an over the top design with big floral drapes and bronze whatnots, or they'll be a bit on the trashy side. 80's, diner style tables and Bollywood TVs. Chutney's was right in the middle. Comfortable, inviting.
I love that they mark what is and isn't vegan which is something a lot of Indian restaurants don't do which can make ordering a pain in the butt. Especially if the servers don't have very good english.
I had the veg vindaloo which was very good. A bit more watery than the vindaloo I'm used to, but it's forgivable. I really like a thick gravy in all my curries, which this didn't really have. The spice level was perfect. Lots of crisp cauliflower and toothsome potatoes & chickpeas. This would easily be a 4 star if not for 2 things:
a.) Despite the dinning area being near abandoned, service was slow. I was in for perhaps 15 minutes before I got my drink order in. There's really no excuse for that.
b.) They didn't bring me rice with my vindaloo. We ordered 3 curries and only two plates of rice came out.
So, there you have it. Perhaps I came in on a bad night, but I feel the wait staff could use some improvement. With that, I think it could be one of the best Indian joints in the valley. I'll be returning and will adjust my review accordingly.
