| - The interior of the shop gave a grand impression. The dramatic recessed ceiling had cornices decadently embellished matching the wallpaper and built out indirect lighting. Unfortunately the surrounding ceiling was T-bar and lit with fluorescent lights. Fans were hung regularly along the interior glazing. A few TVs mounted around the restaurant with Indian programming.
There was a restaurant seating area At the front and dessert display/fast food like serving area at the back.
There were many beautiful dessert to buy and the wall behind showed all of the beautiful boxes to put them in. The banquettes in the seating area weren't very sturdy and the seats were easily movable.
Service was not impressive. There was only one other pair of customers dining in when my sister and I entered but closer to lunch a few more groups arrived but the restaurant wasn't packed. The host/server was inattentive but met minimal needs. The time it took to get the food to the table was not bad although considering that most items were ready to serve in hot wells, I would have expected better. The dessert; meant to be served after the main dishes, did not come until we had to ask about it long after finishing.
My sister and I ordered the following:
Thali $9.00
3 vegetarian dishes with rice, raita, salad, achar, dessert & choice of naan rice or roti.
I chose Spinach & cheese, channa masala, malai kofta, gulab jaamun.
The well worn menu was pretty vague and didn't specify the choices of vegetarian dishes. The take out menu however did. I was surprised I needed to go to the fast food serving area to choose the vegetarian sides and dessert. Not really knowing any of the dishes, I chose familiar things like spinach & cheese and chickpeas.
The channa masala was spicy with a nice texture but not very vibrant.The malai kofta balanced the spiciness of the chickpeas. It was dissappointing that there was only sauce and 1 ball. Spinach and cheese was pretty heavy and dull in flavour. The dhai was slightly sour with crunchy pieces in it. I really liked the gulab Jamun. Made me think of donut soaked in syrup. The syrup itself is pretty sweet though.
Butter Chicken $12.50
Boneless pieces of chicken in creamy butter tomato sauce. This only came with a dish of this item. I am surprised it didn't come with anything like Naan bread to dip. There were a few pieces of meat too.
Naan $3.00
This was the best part of the meal. It looked really fresh; the skin was glistening, it was hot & crunchy.
Rusmalai $3.50
Cottage cheese balls soaked in sweetened cream. At this point, my sister and I were too full to eat this in one sitting. Tasting it at home, I love the cottage cheese with the syrup. The syrup itself though was pretty sweet.
In the end the food was pretty good. I ended up leaving leftovers on the tray because I was so full. Compared to other places, I don't think this place is the best.
We also took some desserts home with us. The most notable detail was that all of the sweets were too sweet for my liking. The Jalebi had this mechanical after taste. I do not recommend it.
