| - Upon walking in, you'll notice that the decor in the main dining area is top notch. Nice brown and gold colour palette and interesting furniture. Their open kitchen at the back provides both entertainment and makes the restaurant appear bigger than it is.
Unfortunately, we didn't get to sit in this room. On a weekday lunch, we were seated in the secondary dining room. The decor still followed the theme of the restaurant, but it appeared to have used a disproportionately smaller amount of the interior decor budget. Our primary complaint was that the chairs looked nice, but weren't comfortable to sit on. The backrest in their booths formed an acute angle, making leaning back awkward.
We spent a couple minutes viewing the menu with our server attentively answering any questions we had. We were particularly curious about their tiffins, which we were told were sorta like lunchboxes that were stacked container on container and brought to work for lunch. I ended up ordering their lamb tiffin. At $16, it came with a container of lamb curry, basmati rice, dal, and a pea and potato curry. It also came with an order of naan. We were given a basket of papadum to eat while we waited for our orders to arrive.
The food came in a reasonable amount of time. It was definitely a complete meal. the tiffin was about a foot tall, and once I emptied out its contents onto my plate, the food stacked at least a couple inches high. The naan was fresh and tasty. The three curries provided variety and there was a decent amount of lamb included. The meat was tender and cooked well.
I was satisfied with my meal, and the service was attentive with not many complaints. My only recommendation is to have a more robust communication system between servers. At least 3 different waiters came by asking us if we wanted our bill at the end of our meal.
Other than that, my first visit to Firangi was quite pleasant. I'll be back.
