| - I had a great experience at Savera last night.
It was my first time in, and I met a friend there who is a regular customer.
We ordered a few dishes to share and I was pleasantly surprised.
The first thing that hit me was the smell. As soon as you walk in, you know that the food is going to be good! The place smells amazing!
We ordered?
Baingan Bharta (Roasted Eggplant) - This was the winner of the evening.
Whole Eggplant roasted in the tandoor and then sauteed with tomato, onion, garlic and spices. This was the real deal ... and at only $6.95, it was very reasonably priced. 5/5
Palak Panner (Spinach and Cheese) - My all time favourite, go-to dish in an Indian joint. It was quite good at Savera, but not better than the Baingan. It was tangy, flavourful and with the right amount of spice. 4/5
Malai Kofta - (Cottage Cheese fritters in a creamy sauce) I haven't had this dish in a long time, as I find it too heavy. While it was heavy (it was the dish that incurred the biggest take-out container), it was tasty, but I found the balls to be a little too chewy. 3/5
Naan - was nice, but a little too doughy overall. I like my naan like a good pizza dough ... chewy in some parts, and cracker-like crisp in others. The naan at Savera was a 3/5/
Basmati Rice - awesome ... cooked to perfection. 5/5
Service was attentive and prompt.
Food was served quickly.
I will definitely go back!
