| - I checked it out based on a reddit post -- thank you! -- and had the vegetarian tandoori pasty during lunch w/ red iced tea. My stomach growled on the way in from the parking lot once the curry welcomed me and I hoped it was the place. It was!
I eat vegan, vegetarian, organic, and all that without being pretentious and have dined at pretentious places that specialize in that sort of thing...
...and none come close to whatever Cornish Pasty does with the tandoori spices and fake meat made from seitan. AMAZING.
I've eaten my way through India, love anything Thai, and was raised drinking spicy homestyle AZ salsa.
Cornish Tandoori is in my Top 10. The consistency and flavors even tricked my carne friend :)
My newly retired brit friends loved the layout, people watching, and weather. Divine! One had the carne pasty and the other one had a potatoes pasty... fuzzy details as I was more impressed by the layout, music vibe, and friendly crowd... and completely enrapt by my order. Spent my time wondering how to recreate it at home. Perfect spice blend. They should bottle it and sell it; hook me up with a free lunch ;)
Our excellent server, Dean, informed us the architectural design was made by moving 2 mid-century farmhouses from elsewhere on the property up to the walkable street then conjoining them. There's even a tree framed in the middle between restaurant patio and bar.
Dean was also accommodating when we requested to move tables to enjoy the nice outdoor weather. He gave us no attitude at all; totally nice guy who made an afternoon awesome for my otherwise high maintenance friends. He took pride in his job plus was very patient at explaining menu items, making recommendations, and attentive to our needs. Other staff walked by to constantly refill our drinks and make sure we were taken care of... Very classy lunchtime service.
I noticed indoor bar style seating so you can see how the pasties are made-- great for any boring/awkward date where at least there's something visual to hopefully cue some sort of conversation. If not, then at least you got some scrumptious food out of it. But enough about my dating life. The cure is tandoori!
Sit inside or outside and take in the mellow, Dick Dale surf guitar vibe. Could've sworn we were at a beachside cafe. Reminded me of a Santa Barabara, LA, or San Diego boardwalk-- great food, relaxing environment, soft sunlight, light breeze. I was hooked.
Went back on a different night to check out the beers on tap and wasn't disappointed. Again, friendly, laid-back staff (Bartender: Ed?). He made recommendations and helped me decide on a great craft beer from CO.
Cornish Pasty is an easy place for family, friends, coworkers, or if you're single without feeling awkward about dining solo. The experiences helped me decide to spend more time in the Dale of Scots, for sure.
I debated throwing this up on Yelp because I kinda like it as an undiscovered hangout. And I'm bad with the names of the staff but they were excellent to me. If more of the right crowd continues to end up here, no doubt it will maintain its calming charm.
Hope this place makes a killing during Spring Training and becomes a mainstay. Can't wait to eat here again.
