| - We have driven by this place a hundred times, but have never stopped in to try it. On a mission to try more restaurants around town, we decided to finally stop in for a visit.
We like to try a variety of things whenever we go somewhere so our review isn't skewed by just one or two items. So, we ordered a couple appetizers. We have never had a fried green pepper before and we thought it sounded good, so we ordered that. Be warned! It is not a regular green pepper. It is a flipping jalapeƱo! That's fine and dandy and we love spicy, but we probably wouldn't have ordered it as we've had fried jalapeno's before and wanted to try something new. We also ordered the typical naan and samosas. The naan was average, nothing special. The samosas seemed different than other samosas I've had. They weren't bad, just different.
So, on to the main courses. I ordered Daal Makhni for my son. He doesn't eat meat so this sounded fantastic cooked with a "mild" set of spice. Holy Guacamole! This was not mild in the least bit. He couldn't even eat it. It was tasty, but boy was it hot. Next, we ordered both the vegetable and chicken vindaloo. We were warned that it was spicy. Now, I LOVE me some spice, very much. I'm addicted to it, actually. But, this was almost unbearable. The flavor was good, but we could hardly eat it. It was very heavy and thick, too.
Overall, the experience was good. I'm not sure we'd go back, but it's worth checking out if you like Indian and you don't want to pay the prices for a full meal elsewhere.
