| - Must try: Samosa Chaat
This was a great overall dining experience. The food was very delicious and interesting - it's fusion, so think lighter version of indian food where you don't feel full after the first five bites.
The apps were basically the highlights for me. The whole table loved the Samosa Chaat, it was savory with a tinge of sweetness and tamarind tartness, very addicting!! The butter chicken poutine was very good as well, could maybe use a bit more chicken (smaller pieces maybe?) but the flavor was good.
For the mains, we tried the butter chicken and the biryani bowl. The butter chicken was better in terms of texture and flavor, the chicken was so tender!! The biryani bowl had pretty good rice, but it was a bit dryer than I expected and the chicken were big cube pieces which made it not as tender as the butter chicken. I think either whole chicken legs or smaller pieces work better for biryani bowl.
We also tried the gulab jamun cheesecake which the host brought out for my friend's birthday, and while the topping was very sweet (as gulab jamun tends to be), the cheesecake was not bad.
The other highlight was really the host. The day we dined there, they were preparing for a private event so we happened to be one of the two tables eating there. The host really made us feel special with his friendliness, witty bantering, and playing happy birthday for my friend through the restaurant speaker when he brought out the cake... how great is that!! The entire service from beginning to end was seamless. You can tell he really likes to make his patrons feel welcome.
Would come again for big events or small nice gathering!
