| - When my wife and I moved to Lynnwood from Inglewood we were underwhelmed by the dining options, especially East Indian, the only option nearby was, disappointing, to be generous.
Fast forward a few years and we are excited to see that a new Indian restaurant was coming to the neighborhood, we were slightly concerned they were moving into what we called the "death slot" in Glenmore Square, it's been a revolving door of restaurants and we don't want this to be another one.
We noticed it had opened and decided to check it out. Walking in it was unfortunately empty and atmosphere wise they had spared every expense, it's very spartan and plain. It was concerning but we didn't let that deter us, we sat down in the empty restaurant and we were served by a very polite gentleman that was knowledgeable about the menu and seemed genuinely excited to be there.
We ordered a veggie pakora starter, butter chicken, spinach paneer entrees, saffron rice and garlic naan. It's pretty much the standard we use to gauge a new restaurant whether we'll be back.
First the pakora, it came out fresh out of the frier, with three chutneys, mango, mint and tamarind. It was crispy on the outside, and creamy and crunchy on the inside, probably the best pakora I've had in Calgary, it was delicious. The chutneys were very good, we both don't like mint chutneys but this one was actually very tasty and the wife especially liked it. My favourite remains the Tamarind but they were all very good.
The butter chicken was fantastic, it had just right amount of heat, the sauce was clearly made special, unlike most homogenous orange sauces, this was slightly more red and tomato-y and, you could see various spices in it. The chicken was so tender it practically melted in your mouth. I made me happy that it wasn't your standard tough and dry chicken breast. This is amongst the best I've had in the city
The spinach paneer was very good, I only had a bite so I can't properly review it but it was more mild than the butter chicken, the spices were bang on though and the paneer was flavourful and not rubbery.
The naan was fantastic, with the perfect mix of crispness and chewy dough, not too thick and not too thin. No complaints about the rice, it was cooked perfectly.
All things considered we're extremely excited to have a top notch East Indian restaurant in the Ogden area and really hope that more people check it out, we want this restaurant to bump the trend in this location.
Can't wait to go back!
