| - I REALLY enjoyed this place!! As mentioned in other reviews, it's a fast foody place. I would most closely relate the menu to Piada here in Cle - just a indian version. My biggest concern when i saw their menu before their opening, was that they would lose the indian flavor and spices and focus more on the creativity. Thankfully, this did not happen! Every dish, every chutney, every spice was so on point! YUM!
I love the restaurant itself. Big, spacious, huge windows to the outside, huge glass panes dividing the kitchen with the dining area where you can observe the many chefs busy making samosas, naan, curries, etc. My favorite table is the large one in the front - if you look closely, it's crafted with books and the design in the middle are spines from all the books (the pages dangle below the table) - unique and awesome!
I had the paneer plate - about 5 large chunks of paneer, fresh out of the tandoor, served on a bed of basmati rice with small cup of green mint chutney. The plate comes with two sides - a choice of whole wheat naan, regular naan, or basmati rice (didn't understand this since it comes on rice?) and a choice of tikka masala sauce, lentil soup, or chickpea masala. I opted for tikka masala sauce and whole wheat naan. I also ordered the samosa chaat. (YES, I ate a LOT of food!)
The paneer was delicious. Huge chunks, perfectly seasoned and in the tandoor for the perfect amount of time. I dipped each bite into the tikka masala sauce, which was amazing - had a bit of a kick and the perfect amount of spices. A bit tangy, a bit spicy - loved it. I only had a few bites of the basmati rice that the paneer was served on - not too hard to screw up rice, it was good, i was just focused on all the other flavors on my plate. The mint chutney was also really delicious! I like my mint chutneys a bit spicy and very tangy and that's exactly what this was - I actually used it moreso for the samosa chaat. Though the samosa chaat came with chutneys, the bulk of the chick pea/chutney mixture was on half of each samosa, so I dipped the other half in the mint chutney. Speaking of which, the samosa chaat was pretty good, as well - I could have used more of the toppings, but the samosas and the toppings were all still delish.
The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the whole wheat naan- I only ate a few bites,- it was pretty dry and only a few spots were soft. I went with Andrea Z. and she got the regular naan which looked MUCH softer and not dry at all - I'll probably stick to that next time!
There's a hot sauce that you can get on the side (complimentary) - it is very spicy in my opinion, but very tasty!! I say get it, but don't dump the whole thing in any dish ,you'll lose the flavor of the dish. Just add a bit to taste.
Overall, I paid ~11-12 dollars for all of the food above - NOT bad at all!!
I can't wait to go back!! Mouth is watering as I type! Things I still want to try include: the paneer sandwich, biryani bowl (they bake it with the naan on top of the bowl), lassi, chai, Veggie croquettes, Lettuce wraps, and their desserts!!
