| - OK, so let me tell you about how awesome this place and it's owners are. I went to a private party there. The private party had a set menu that we were told about in advance. So, I knew that the only thing on the set menu that I would be able to eat is the salad and dessert. I was fine with that, actually I was looking forward to the honey cake.
When they served the first course, the waitress/owner (Yelena) asks me what is wrong, because I am not eating it. I explain that I don't eat meat, but that I understood that there was a set menu before we got there, and I was ok with eating salad and cake. She was not having it. She went back to the chef/other owner/her husband (Michael) and asked him if he could make something special for me!! It was the sweetest thing ever!
So here is what I got (remember these are probably not normal menu items, but are made with normal menu items):
Housemade paneer with homemade mustard and pepper bread- the paneer was different than any paneer I had before. It wasn't squeeky and plasticy like the kind out of a package. It was smooth and almost a goat cheese texture. Very good. The mustard was sweet but also mustardy. I really liked it. The bread was also amazing, hard and crunchy with the right amount of pepper.
Lime Caesar- This was your basic caesar salad. The dressing was really tasty and there wasn't too much dressing.
Saag Paneer-This was a much fresher take on spinach and paneer than I have ever had before. The spinach was obviously fresh and a little sweet (coconut, I think) the rice was cooked perfectly and the onion chutney was great!
Russian Honey Cake- To die for! This is not an overly sweet, kill your taste buds with sugar kind of cake. It is just sweet enough for you to appreciate all of the textures and flavors going on in it's 8 layers.
Overall, AMAZING! My BF and I already have plans to go back!
