| - My experience at Gandhi Cuisine is somewhat difficult to quantify on the 5 star system. On the one hand, the roti was delicious, on the other, however, we have the pakora... which I didn't finish, and not because I was too full.
So here's the thing in a nutshell: I decided to get the day-old lamb roti, just as an experiment, then, as an afterthought, added a pakora for snacking on until I got home.
I assumed the pakora was made fresh (or at least recently). No way. It was dry and spongy, the sort of thing that happens to deep fried dough after it's been sitting a long time. I can only guess that it was at least "day old", which just isn't cool.
The roti, as said, was delicious, and you would have fooled me had you told me it was fresh made. Tender, massive, tasty... with melt in your mouth chunks of lamb. It was at least 4 star worthy. Odd how the day old tasted fresh, and the fresh tasted day old. Messin' with my mind, man!
As the restaurant should be graded on more than just its specialty, I've gotta dock it a mark for that nasty pakora. Sorry, Gandhi...
We also just tried Mother India, though only had the roti (delicious, as expected). I'll wait on reviewing this sister (mother) restaurant until I've had a couple other menu options. I'll avoid the pakora, however, as it looked exactly the same as the sponges at Gandhi Cuisine.
