last sunday's dinner with family and friends proved to be a phenomenal one.
a friend told me about this new indian restaurant in my hood and we decided to give it a shot.
turns out, one of the best indian places that i have been. the place had good ambiance and vibe, not to mention excellent food. it can easily rival tasty in delta and give them a run for their money.
for price, food quality and service! truly 5 stars!
we ordered lamb kebabs( served on a sizzling plate) , classic butter chicken, lamb tikka masala, chicken tandoori, paneer , basmati rice, and of course garlic naan!
lamb kebabs were awesome! perfectly seasoned and charred served hot on a sizzling plate. no weird smell, instead very aromatic with cilantro and other spices as well as juicy and tender. the butter chicken was superb! one of the best ive ever tasted! big chunks of chicken simmered in authentic and think chicken butter chicken sauce. sauce was heavy but not too much. the combination of spices was just right. lamb massala was likewise superior. lamb was fork tender and sauce was aromatic and bursting with flavour. the paneer was good too. provided a good balance to the thick sauces from the other dish. the paneer ( cheese ) tasted fresh and the spinach was creamy and smooth, giving the dish a perfect balance. and the chicken tandoori was served on a sizzling plate too. huge chunks of chicken, so juicy and moist, it was an entree by itself. and laslty, the garlic naan was without a doubt, the best dish of the night!
it was simply pure heaven with every bite. the bread reminded me of the pizza crust in naples italy. thin, crispy and a bit chewy, basted with real garlic butter. total delight and satisfaction. i used it to soaked up the sauces and meat, as well as the rice . freshly made as ordered! simply amazing!
service was also excellent. the staff were friendly and efficient, functioning like a perfect brigade. not a single thing was overlooked. they took orders, made recommendations, and made sure the water bottle was also stocked with cold refreshing water. all of this was done with smiles all around, it made us feel all so welcomed!
highly recommended! possibly the best indian restaurant in richmond! you will leave 100% satisfied and happy! prices are very reasonable. they've got lunch and dinner combos for one which will blow you away.
im already planning on visiting again! this place will become one of my go to's for sure! i will come back again and again!
happy eating!
