| - After reading all the good reviews online, I knew I definitely wanted to check this place out for myself. Located at Main Street and Vodden, on the southwest corner. The restaurant is located in a relatively small plaza, parking shouldn't be too hard, if so, I would just park across the street where the No Frills is.
The place itself is very spacious, lots of seating options for everyone. Decor is also pretty modern. Has a bit of a hipster-vintage vibe to the place with warm orange incandescent lights hanging from the ceilings. My friend and I got placed in a large booth. It was a Monday night, so the place was pretty quiet.
As for the food, I tried the mac and cheese samosas. They were delicious! The samosa shell was well seasoned and the mac and cheese was piping hot, but a great blend between south Asian and Western foods. I even loved the "ketchup" that they served along with the food, it was so savoury, I will admit that I held onto it and saved some for my upcoming meal.
*Update* I came back and ordered the mac and cheese appetizers and they changed them to spring rolls stuffed with mac and cheese instead. I personally didn't like them, I would rather have a denser pastry that is a bit more chewier than a crispy spring roll wrapper.
I ordered the Thai-fighter Pad Thai. I had pretty high expectations after the mac and cheese samosas, but alas, it wasn't that great. To me pad thai is normally cooked with tamarind so you get that sweet and tangy taste. But all I got was a lot of coconut, and possibly some peanuts as well, which meant that after a couple of bites I was starting to get full. Chicken was diced, but felt a little dry and unseasoned. Shrimp on the other hand was flavourful. Was this the best pad thai I ever had? No, there are definitely better options, and for cheap I might add. The Thai-Fighter pad thai will run you $19 before tax and tip.
My friend ordered the smoked apple. I think that was the real winner here. Even when the waitress came by to serve our food she said the pizza smelled delicious and that she wanted a piece. The pizza was topped off with apples and smothered in cheddar cheese. So each bite you take, you taste the tang of the tomato sauce, a crunch of sweetness from the apple, and the tartness of the cheddar cheese. I will admit, I gave up on my pad thai I ordered and ate a few slices of my friend's pizza.
Overall, I would probably come back here again and try the other items on the menu. It isn't a cheap eats kind of place, as an appetizer, and two meals cost about $60. While the pad thai was a bit of a letdown, the other items I tried from the menu has left me intrigued and eager to come back to see what else they can offer.
