I like Indian food, but sometimes find it too oily for me. I had no expectations, so we very impressed by the evening. We dined on the Groupon with friends. Arrived early for a 5pm reservation, naturally, any restaurant would be quiet. We were offered a table near the door and I asked for another table further in. It's cold out, its 5pm, quiet and we are the first guests to arrive.
Service otherwise was excellent and we received unexpected white cloth table service. Staff made suggestions, attentive service throughout the evening and not intrusive.
We ordered:
Appetizers:
Nepali-Chicken Momo - very similar to Shanghai style steamed dumplings
Indian-Chef's special Mt. Everest Assorted Appetizer - we all enjoyed the variety, different flavours, textures and depth of flavours.-favorite
Breads:
Garlic Naan - favourite
Paneer Kulcha - stuffed with cottage cheese - a little heavier.
Entrees:
Nepali-Khasi Ko Maasu-goat meat with bone - good flavor, but meat is still very attached to the bone, a chewier meat.
Indian: Chicken Shahi Karma (mild) very tender moist chicken in a rich and cashew sauce-favourite
Butter chicken and Shrimp Masala - all good
Desserts:
Gulab Jamun - delish served hot. It is sweet if you are not used to sweet desserts
Kulfi - On any dessert menu offering kulfi, I am willing to try their version. I enjoyed it, but I have had creamier Kulfi before.
An excellent evening and we will come back!
