| - I was skeptical about this place but I was hungry and decided to give it a try. The storefront it's self is very unassuming and kind of forgettable, but the food their dishing up is anything but! I got the tempura fried shrimp, Cylon fried chicken, fish molee, chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, and some butter naan.
Everything was absolutely delicious and not overly spiced. The dishes accurately and captivatingly captured the essence of fine Indian cooking while keeping up with modern sensibilities. The Cylon fried chicken was absolutely to die for, the chicken was very tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. I have vivid dreams about this chicken from time to time. It's that good.
I don't normally like biryani but I decided to give it a try on a whim. The rice was very soft and there was ample tender chicken. I especially love the touch of saffron essence which permeated from the hot dish. I consider myself a connoisseur of tempura shrimp and man let me tell you, what their doing here with tempura batter and shrimps should be classified as a schedule 1 drug. It was addictingly good.
As you can tell, I really enjoyed the food and fare found at Ocean Palate. I have been back numerous times and have always been beyond pleased and satisfied. The only reason I gave it a 5 star rating is because I couldn't give it 6! Do yourself a favor and get you some of this delicious food!!!!
