| - Went there tonight, as a big party of 9. They accommodated us without issue, and with minimal wait.
Between the 9 of us, we had:
- Chicken Pakora (Appetizer)
- Shrimp Pakora (Appetizer)
- Veggie Pakora (Appetizer)
- Tom Yum Soup (Appetizer)
- Deep Fried Spicy Eggplant (Appetizer)
- Crispy Sesame Beef x 2
- Mango Salad
- Honey Garlic Fish
- Butter Masala Chicken
- Sweet and Sour Manchurian Chicken
- Veggie Fried Rice
- Chicken Fried Rice
- I think 1 or 2 other things but I can't remember haha
- 7 mango juice, 2 soft drinks, and 2 beers
Opinions / experience:
- All the appetizers were really nice. The veggie pakora was the least spicy of the 3, but I think had the best flavour. The shrimp had a medium spice, and a nice taste. The chicken pakora was full of flavour, but a bit too spicy. The eggplant was yummy, although the deep fried batter taste was more prevalent than the eggplant. My brother had the tom yum soup (a fave of his) and said it was comparable to places near his house that are 'authentic', so I guess that's high praise. The pakora dishes came with a nice green chili sauce for dipping. We were pleased with the appetizers.
- The rice dishes were your typical fried rice places (large quantities, too), but the waiter told us the entrées didn't come with rice, which is why we ordered both of those... and despite this, we received 9 bowls of white rice as well... had he accurately told us it came with those bowls of rice, we'd have stuck with that and not ordered the fried rice as well
- Of the main courses, the ones we liked the most were the crispy sesame beef (it's excellent) and the butter masala chicken (great sauce, good combination of spices). Both delicious and we devoured those. The sweet and sour chicken was pretty good... the mango salad was a refreshing change for the palette... and I don't know about the fish. I don't eat fish.
We liked the experience because, as a family, we shared everything rather than 'each person has this' which made it a more enjoyable time. Having tried almost everything, I thought it was all good and no dish in particular was disappointing. Usually when you order that much stuff, you're left with at least a few sub-par items, and I think everything here was at least 'passable', if not 'good'
It's certainly not cheap though. It came to around $250 with tax and tip (approx $27 per person)
I think a party of 4 could get away with no appetizers + 3 entrées shared amongst the 4 + the white rice it supposedly comes with + drinks, and that would be about $17 a person, but I think ordering anything less wouldn't be enough food. So $17/person (with tax and tip) is I think the lowest you can manage there, reasonably.
I'd go back, but given that I'm stingy, it would be very infrequent.
