I recently visited Castro Indian American restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience! Starting with drinks, I tried the Castro Mule, Avani Modi, and ABCD cocktails. While all were equally good, my favorite by far was the Avani Modi--an absolute must-try! The bartender did a fantastic job balancing the flavors in each.
For appetizers, I went with their bestseller podi idli, which was simply perfect--light, flavorful, and beautifully plated. I also tried the chicken tandoori, and it was cooked just right, with great spices that didn't overpower the taste.
Moving on to the main course, I had what I can confidently call the best butter chicken I've ever had. It was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. I also tried the shrimp gravy, which was a little different from the usual, but delicious in its own way, especially when paired with their onion and garlic butter naan. The naan was fresh and fragrant, the perfect accompaniment to the curries.
To finish off the meal, I had the sweet rasmalai dessert, which was the perfect way to round out the evening.
Beyond the food and drinks, the restaurant's interior is beautiful, and the plating of each dish was artfully done. If you're looking for a blend of Indian and American flavors with a unique twist, Castro is definitely worth a visit! I'll be returning soon to explore more of their menu.
