| - Mmmmm so good! I'm glad a great Indian place opened up in downtown. We went to dinner on a Saturday because a few friends of ours had a Groupon. I think it was $50 for $100 worth of food, which wasn't bad at all. With the groupon, we got 4 appetizers, 4 entrees, 2 naans and 4 desserts. Let me tell you, this was enough food for 8 people.
First came the papad, which is a fried appetizer of sorts. It kind of resembles a chip, but with Indian spices and sauces. Next, we ordered a variety of appetizers. I got the vegetable platter, which included a samosa, a veggie pakora, a paneer pakora and sort of a potato patty. For $6, I was expecting something more than just 4 pieces, but it was still very good. Everything was perfectly spiced.
For entrees, I ordered the Shahi paneer at a medium spice level. It was the perfect amount of heat, and you weren't overwhelmed. It was so delicious, and I was definitely eating it with a spoon. We got two orders of garlic naan, which was THE MOST DELICIOUS THING EVER. Seriously, if you haven't ever tried garlic naan, you're missing out on life. It was a perfect accompaniment with every entree. The rest of the table got the chana masala, indo-chinese chili paneer, and malai kofta. All were very good. We also got a few drinks as well, such as their chai and mango lassi. Delicious! For dessert, we were given the option of kheer (kind of like a rice pudding) and gulab jamun (sort of like fried donuts soaked in a sugar syrup). They were both good, but by that time, we couldn't eat anymore.
I'm glad we had a groupon, because otherwise, it might have been a tad pricey. However, we had more than enough food for lunch the next day, so it was worth it!
