Liked the place, I think that they just opened not too long ago. Good feel to the place, pretty good restaurant site even though it's off the main street a little bit. The wife and I both tried different dishes this time around.
We started with a double order of pakora and they were quite good. Savory with just the right amount of spices. Large amounts of sauce for dipping as well. Well worth the value.
I had a house special: appam- three special pancakes with a sort of vegetable curry. It was nice. I probably wouldn't order it again because I didn't like it as much as my regular chicken tikka masala, but I mean, what can compare to chicken tikka masala?
Maybe biscuits and gravy but that is all...
My wife had the potato stew and said the same thing- good but try something else next time (we recently became vegetarian and are still finding our way...).
Like a lot of Indian restaurants, there is no kids menu. The only problem we ran into was that the dishes that we had, and one of the dipping sauces for the pakoras were quite hot. There was no request to spice level on the main dishes like there are in other local Indian restaurants. As a result everything was too spicy for the kids so we had to get her something else to supplement on the way home.
We also were less than impressed with the naan. It may be a regional difference, but the naan that we prefer is crispy on the outside and Taste of Kerala's was chewier.
We will be back, this certainly shouldn't sound like a bad review. It was good food and the whole thing was $38 with appetizer and dessert and it fed three of us. Nothing to complain about there. I do worry that the spiciness will be too much for the wimpy midwesterners, but since this is a second location I could very well be wrong on that.
We will certainly be back!
