| - I never thought I'd say it, but at long last, I've found an Indian restaurant that makes food I can actually eat!
For years Indian food has been a very rare treat I only indulge in when my Indian friends have been kind enough to make dinner or bring a dish to a potluck. In my experience restaurants have often made their Indian foods too spicy or too "Americanized" - not to mention used far too many fatty ingredients and oils that just made me sick.
So the fact that I could stuff my face at All India, without feeling sick and while being able to enjoy my food, makes me happier than I can even explain. I came here with a large group of friends for a celebration; throughout the evening our waiter was very kind and considerate. There were a few moments here and there where we'd find that we were unable to flag him down to get refills, and occasionally it would take a while to get something like an appetizer or even the checks from from. It was a little odd seeing as the place looked mostly empty aside from our large group, but then again, we were a very large group, so I'm honestly willing to let a few delays go, especially since the waiter really was very nice - he always confirmed just how spicy we wanted our dinners and was happy to answer any and all questions our large group had about the menu.
As for the food? I just...yum! I personally ordered the butter chicken - tender chicken cooked in a nut and tomato sauce and served with warm rice. Honestly eating that dish was heavenly. It was perfectly cooked, seasoned, was as spicy (well, not spicy) as I requested...I couldn't get enough of it! Words cannot describe how happy I was to eat something that good after my many negative experiences with Indian restaurant dishes. I had the chance to try some of my friends dishes and sides as well, so I can also promise that their yogurt is absolutely amazing (seriously, try something with the yogurt - you'll be glad you did!) as was one of the spinach-stuffed vegetarian options.
I really want to come back here to explore more on All India's menu. Thank you All India for the wonderful experience and meal - you'll see me again!
