I've been wanting to try this place for a while simply because it's always interesting to see what 'fancy' Indian restaurants have to offer. Originally, my husband and I went thinking we would get the winterlicious menu but we were ultimately wooed by their regular menu. Front of the house, who we later found out was the owner, was very polite and welcoming, and took our coats. Service was good in general - all the dishes were described when they were brought to the table.
Our order:
String chaat - I love chaat! This doesn't pack the punch of an amazing chaat from a street vendor but it's a good introduction into the world of chaat for someone who has no idea what it is
Chicken 65 - sweet and spicy chicken bites with a South Indian flare, I enjoyed it
Bengali sea bass - fresh fish, great sauce, my favourite dish of the night, a very nuanced interpretation of a coconut based curry
Kashmiri beef short ribs - the sauce reminded me so much of something my grandma makes so I appreciated the nostalgia, but it was missing something I can't quite put my finger on
We skipped dessert, too full. We probably could have ordered another app or side (okra fries!) and shared one entree. Would this be my go to restaurant for Indian food? Probably not. But it was a welcome change from the sameness of options in this category.
