The entire time I was here I kept thinking back to the scene in The Namesake where the family is eating together during the father's funeral. Morbid I know, but when I watched the film, all I wanted was some good Indian food and living in Chandler these days, I knew that was going to be difficult to come by. At least until I found Guru Palace that is.
The bhindi (okra) was perfect. Crispy, not soggy. All of the sauces were of the non-oily Indian variety (a serious plus) and my wife moaned a few times while swirling her garlic nan/chicken tikka masala burrito (her invention) around in her mouth. Damn chicken tikka masala and its power over the one woman in my life!
The only sad part of the experience was not seeing gajar halva (carrot pudding) on the menu. GP starts making that and its deliciousness matches the rest of the food and five stars will be imminent.
