This was a tasty outing overall. While not every dish blew me away, most of the food was enjoyable and flavorful. Here's a breakdown of what we tried:
Samusas - Definitely a reorder! The shell was perfectly crisp, and the potato curry filling was well-seasoned and satisfying.
Sesame Chicken - A standout dish. I'd return just for this alone--crispy, flavorful, and delicious.
Curry Catfish - Unfortunately, this was a miss. The catfish was tough, not boneless (which made it difficult to eat in curry form), and tasted a bit off, like it wasn't very fresh. Disappointing all around.
Eggplant in Garlic Sauce - Just okay. Some pieces were surprisingly hard, but the sauce was tasty, and the well-cooked eggplant pieces made it worth considering again.
Black Pepper Beef - This one was a hit. The beef was tender, and the seasoning was on point.
Coconut Rice & Garlic Noodles - Both were great complements to the entrees and added a nice touch to the meal.
Sugar Plathas - I mean, it's fried dough--what's not to love? I'd definitely order this again.
Semolina Cake with Mango Ice Cream - The mango ice cream was refreshing and light, but the semolina cake was a letdown--dry and uneven in texture.
Service was fantastic. Our server was working solo and somehow managing a packed house--including a table of 12, several other groups, and a few tables outside. Despite the chaos, he stayed calm, friendly, and made a clear effort to provide great service to everyone. Major props to him!
The atmosphere was lively--perhaps a little too lively. Most of the noise came from the party of 12, who were carrying on like they were in someone's living room. Not the restaurant's fault, but it did make things a bit loud.
Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more dishes--and for sure to get the sesame chicken again!
