In the north San Francisco Bay California area Yelp district I've been known as a 10 year elite reviewer that specializes in crowing about low priced gourmet restaurants. It is an extreme privilege to announce that this restaurant is a hidden gem that truly rates as a fantastic bargain for wonderfully delicious food, attentive service and serene dining room ambiance.
Just three previous Yelp reviews exist as I write this. Which is mind boggling as the restaurant has been in this very spot for 30 years. The business has no webpage and there still is a fax machine telephone number to call in take away orders. Yes, time warp. And when you arrive to eat in the small peaceful dining room and peruse the menu with 1988 level prices you will be transported to the past.
What is old is sometimes still valuable. Think gold, diamonds and the food here at Exotikka.
I posted 13 photos tonight. Looks good, yes? Well, tastes even better.
My wife who usually hates Indian food immensely enjoyed the dinner. Spices are apparent but not overwhelming. Curries and masalas are piquant and smooth. Rice is fragrant and moist. The nan bread (get the garlic) is just the correct amount of chewy.
Wine? Yes, as explained to me there is a white and a red. We drank a bottle of the red. A Shiraz from Australia. Harvested and bottled 6 months ago. It was fruity, supple and delicious. The price? Practically free.
So, a peaceful dinner. Copious food portions, wonderfully varied flavors, soothing mouth feel, soul satisfying nutrition.
Tariff: out the door for 43.75 British pounds. You could be staying on the opposite side of London, hire an Uber to bring you here and back and still have spent less than at a far inferior restaurant.
Really, this is a great place. You'll thank me for the recommendation.
You are quite welcome. Cheers!
