The menu is on point, unique and has lots to offer. I was craving simple Indian food and my girlfriend loves Butter Chicken and this place had dal makhni and the photo looked legit. We decided to try.
1. Cilantro Chutney and papad to start with. Perfect, Punjabi style with no yogurt (as it should), cilantro, and garlic. Well done.
2. Butter chicken, great! The right amount of creamy. Cooked with chicken thighs (not breast!), and cream on top. The sauce a bit intense on the tomato flavor, my girl friend has a good palate for butter chicken because that's what she likes. Also, the chicken could've been done tandoori style before cooking in the sauce (as it should be). :)
3. Dal Makhni - 1 star for quantity. It was what we call in Hindi - "ek katori daal, bas!?" Delicious taste! This can be a best seller. I mostly ate my food with daal and roti (simple!)
They know their game. But the service was so disappointing.
1. The guy who was taking our order asks me - "Thats it!?" As if his commission was tied to the quantity of food I order! That was pretty strange for a place that wants to present themselves as fine dining.
2. I was in the middle of enjoying my papad and green chutney. But another dude comes over and goes - "I need to remove the plates because the main course will be out!" And he takes my plate away without asking anything about whether I was done or needed more time. Well, so long green chutney!
3. I'm being picky now. I know. However, for a place charging €€€ should try to do the service right. The tea came out 20 mins before the dessert. Well, what's the point? I could have gotten take out.
Regardless of the service, we both loved the food! My girlfriend is not happy right now because I took 20mins from our time together for writing this looooong review. Hope it's worth it.
