| - Came here for a company dinner and ordered a ton of appetizers and mains to share family style. To be completely honest, I wasn't really blown away nor impressed by this place. Moreover, the service was super slow... Or maybe that was only because I was hungry (or should I say hangry?).
We started off with a variety of appetizers, many of them fried. To be completely honest, I only remember the lamb kebabs (which were oily but very delicious) and the pakora platter. I also ordered a mango lassi, and though good, it ended up being too sickeningly sweet and I ultimately couldn't bring myself to finish the entire thing.
We then ordered a bunch of mains to share. Since we were a group of 9 seated at a long table, we chose to split into two separate groups and do our own individual ordering. My side of the table ordered the Murgh Mirch Tikka, a green chicken where the colour comes from the chili paste. It was decent, but as I made my way to the second piece, I found it quite overbearing. We also got the tandoori lamp chops, and these were heavenly! They came hot on a sizzling plate, and were fairly lean and well seasoned. In terms of the vegetarian options, we ordered the paneer tawa masala (which I didn't get a chance to try) and the chana masala, a fragrant mix of chickpeas. We then also ordered a butter chicken, which fell flat for me in terms of taste, and a lamb roganjosh. Though the lamb was flavourful, it wasn't as good as the lamb chops by any means. We also got a TON of garlic naan and two plates of kesari pillaw to share. The garlic naan strongly resembled garlic bread; the pillowy buttery naan was smothered in a rich garlic butter. So sinful but so good!
The other side of the table likewise ordered the chana masala, but also got the navrattan korma I believe. I thoroughly enjoyed the Malabar shrimp curry that they ordered; it was delightfully creamy and rich.
Overall, a decent meal, though I wouldn't consider it amazing.
