| - I had been looking forward to checking this place out for a while, as its always had such great reviews and I'm not one to shy away from Tibetan or Nepalese food. Unfortunately, the experience was not what I expected.
We gorged on a lot of food, which to its fair point was reasonably priced and nothing was bad (thus the 3 star review). But admittedly we were not overly enthused about much either.
The Details:
We stuck to the white meat mains, which were the Chili Garlic Chicken which was admittedly bland and more garlic in flavour than anything else. Note for the future: order the dark meat chili chicken without the garlic.
The Chicken and Vegetables were somewhat boring but good for vegetable content which was otherwise missing from our plates. Vegetarian Hakka Noodle were super plain. For some reason I expected more vegetables to be included, so being such a plain bowl of noodles, I suggest paying the extra $1 for to include meat in it. The good news is that the simplicity in the Chicken & Vegetables mixed quite nicely with the Hakka Noodle to become the hit of the meal.
Also our chicken pakoras were super dry, and oddly came out last.
Beer selection is terrible, with only domestic options like bottles of Blue, Canadian, Keiths, and international beers Stella and Heineken. Their menu listed Kingfisher, but they didn't have any of it or any other more regionally appropriate options which was disappointing. Wine was cheap but apparently not very good.
And to top if off, make sure you aren't on a timeline when coming here. To the defense of the one waitress, she wasn't standing around wasting time... But having one server for an entire room on a weekend night speaks to the fact that the service won't be attentive, and it took a long time for our food to come out, so go in with tempered expectations on that front.
