| - Mango Rain offers Indian food as if it was cooked at home, from scratch, by an Indian mega superstar chef!
Ok, let me start with the fact that my husband is Indian by descent and a gastro fanatic by his middle name. He is hardly ever happy with any restaurants we go to and usually the place has to be well above good to earn his second visit. But enough about the nature of my family policy on eating out choices.
We chose to dine at Mango Rain based on a list of great reviews on Yelp, Tripadvisor, Urbanspoon and Insauga. The three of us (me, my husband and his brother) were first turned down due to a packed Friday night, however, after calling back an hour later we were able to convince Peter, the host to book us a table before they closed. My husband and his brother were a bit sceptical of the place at first but boy were we surprised when the food arrived.
We ordered Shrimp Pakora, Coconut Soup, Vegetarian Lazis, Butter Chicken, some Naan bread and rice. Everything was AMAZING! We cook Indian food frequently at home, using only freshly ground spices, no commercial mixes. This is the first time ever, we had a food tasting just like made at home in a restaurant.
Mango Rain is a small place, but so are diamonds and they are very special. This diamond is worth coming back to.
P.S.: Sorry I have no mention regarding dessert, we were too full to have and but I do recommend the house Riesling.
