Night out to catch up with a friend and we'd already left a place for being smoky and having too-tall uncomfortable chairs. We were hangry and neither of us know the area well. But...Yelp pulled off another win!
The Aloo Tikki to start: pillowy potato splodges of deliciousness, covered with art-deco streaks of chutney and sauce. Appealing to the eye and tongue!
The Chicken Korma dish on the menu wasn't available but they subbed a tasty one in and both the Beef Rogan Josh and Pudine Wala Paneer were perfectly balanced spice creations and heartily satisfying.
Rice and Naan are like the triangles or maracas to an orchestra - they can either compliment beautifully or stand out and wreck the entire arrangement. Here, they were the perfect addition.
I can't remember the name of my cocktail but I know it had ginger beer, rum and a variety of other delights. It was a sensory vacation.
Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, had an endearing pride of the establishment and was (if this matters to you) handsome with piercing blue eyes (wink).
The portions were enough that we took some home. I am only taking one star off because I am used to paying less for Indian food where I live. But, honestly I will gladly return here for the quality of food & presentation and look forward to trying more dishes.
