I really enjoyed my time at Indian Street Food - everything was spot on!
My husband and I went out with my uncle and aunt (who by the way was interviewed on the news about this place) as they love it here too.
We arrived first and upon walking in, the décor is definitely modern and kitschy, exactly the type of feel that will match with the food. We were seated and one person offered to take our coats. No sooner, we were provided with a little snack of tomato soup and bread to whet our appetite. When my aunt and uncle arrived, that's when things got really exciting! We did get to meet Hemant and he was very pleasant. For those of you not in the know yet, this restaurant has done away with tipping which means everyone working in the restaurant gets a fair share. I have to say, love the idea and certainly our waiters were amazing!
But the food...oh the food! Forget about getting your usual heavy, saucy curries that taste the same as every other dish. Each plate at Indian Street Food has their own distinctive flavour and can stand on their own.
MUST ORDER:
Beef Short ribs - TENDER TENDER! We loved this so much we got two plates
Eggplant Fries - Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside...one can forget its eggplants
The Costal Prawn Curry was delish
Lasooni Cauliflower
Mushroom Okra Upma (THIS WAS MY FAVE DISH! SOOO YUMMY!)
Grilled Okra
Vegi Thali
Eggplant Barta
Naan
Rice
Oh my - just writing out all the dishes is making my stomach growl! The food was so delish (it bears repeating again) and paired with a good white (we had two bottles of a Gewürztraminer) the evening went splendidly.
I would highly recommend Indian Street Food and can't wait to go back. It's also a great place to bring out of town guests or people who want to try something different.
Please go and try! You won't be disappointed. This place fills up very fast so resos are a definite must!
