. "A good Italian restaurant becomes a good Indian restaurant. Adrak is an upscale Indian restaurant in the base of a multi storey building right on Highway 7--but entered from the back side on Werthiem Court, so it is not as well known as it could be.\n\nA late lunch brought me in when the place was nearly empty. It retained its classy look from years ago, with a kitchen behind glass, and a tidy little bar off the building lobby.\n\nLooking at the one other table that had ordered food, I liked what I saw and was forced to choose between a Thali and a platter about 2 square feet in area. The platter won.\n\nI ordered the Shrimp Curry, medium heat. The platter had a bowl of curry and shrimp, accompanied by a small salad, Basmati rice, and Naan bread (choice of plain or garlic). The curry contained 3 of the largest shrimp I have ever seen outside of the seafood counter at St Lawrence Market. Even though the shrimp (prawns?) were very large, they were cooked well. They were definitely not tender, but that is common with really big shrimp, not the fault of the kitchen.\n\nOverall, the platter and an iced tea came out to $18. I can't decide if it is better than Bombay Bhel, but it is slightly more expensive. I would reserve Adrak for business guests if I wanted the upscale environment for entertainment."^^ . "0"^^ .
