| - We were really sad to see Royal Taj close down... like seriously, I almost went in to a depression :(
So when we heard Nandini's was open we were super excited to go try! The restaurant looks brighter and spruced up... and to our delightful surprise the food was even better than before!
Four a party of 4, we ordered the:
Lamb Korma (Lamb cooked in special house gravy) $13.99
Chicken Tikka Masala (Boneless chicken pieces grilled in tandoor, cooked in a mild creamy tomato gravy) $11.99
Palak Paneer (Tender chunks of Indian cottage cheese cooked in a spinach sauce) $8.99
With:
Garlic Naan (White leavened garlic sprinkled bread baked in clay oven) $2.49
Lamb Naan (White leavened bread stuffed with minced roasted lamb baked in clay oven) $3.99
And Rice
I put $$, because they offer a cheaper lunch buffet $, which we have yet to try... dinner is more in the range of $$.
At the end they brought over some complimentary Gulab Jamun (Succulent treats from the north made of special dough, fried and served in sugary syrup)! Delicious :)
I would recommend these three entrée items for sure! If you are a vegetarian, the Palak Paneer is a must - SOOOO delicious. It's creamy spinach and the cheese is super fresh tasting, they go great together! But the Lamb Korma has to be the winner - with Chichken Tikka Masala as a close second.
For something new, we tried the Lamb naan, which was like an Indian version of a quesadilla... with lamb pieces in between their delicious naan bread. Can't wait to try more new items on the menu :) This one was great!
For any newbies... this place is a must! The new owner seemed very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant decor is so-so, but I haven't found Indian food this good anywhere else in AZ... we're soooooooo happy they're back!
