Give This Place a Chance, Friday, 28 March 2008

Written by Jeremy - View all my reviews - Top 50 Reviewer

Needing to find some more western food options in the DDA, a few friends and I gave this place a try on our lunch hour. I'd say not bad. The place is clean, service is decent/friendly, and the chef seems eager to please. The place is decorated as a Japanese restaurant which seems a little strange for an Indian Restaurant!! It is inside the Victoria Hotel.

We had some various meat dishes, salads and Loli. I would say that some of the dishes had a very similar curry background flavor, but all were well prepared.

I think the previous reviewer may be a little harsh in rating this place so lowly - maybe I just have lower expectations. I am no Indian cuisine expert. Then again I did stay away from the fish curry.....

I say try this place out.

Reached Quality Status. Revision at the bottom, Thursday, 17 January 2008

Written by MJBjorn - View all my reviews - Top 50 Reviewer

Man I went there today and well, do not plan on going back. We ordered the fish curry, Roti, Chicken lolly pop (which is chicken wings), veggies and salad.
The veggies and Chicken lolypop's and veggies turned out ok. I have had fish curry before and loved it. But this Fish Curry was made with a very strong tasting fish and believe me thats all you tasted was the fish. You could not taste the curry

The salad was swimming is mayonnaise and was about 80% onions. As for the roti, well it was good, but extremely small. It reminded me of a small soft shell taco shell (about 6 inches across). The chief (Bishan Singh Rawat)can out and asked us how we liked the meal and we told him about the curry. Instead of sayings something nice or even offering to replace it. His comment was westerners should not order fish curry. They should stick to chicken or beef curry.

Yes chef prepares authentic Indian food and speaks English. However he could not make the dish specified upon my request. He indicated 2 more of his staff must come from Indian before he could cook special requests.

So I would suggest for now you should pass on this one until it is fully staffed and offering a full menu. Remember the fish curry is not like the fish curry made at Indian restaurants in places like Singapore.

March 30, 2008: Went back after hearing some good comments from a couple of friends. Must say it has improve a great deal. I will be going back.... The Roti is the size I would expect based on other Indian restuarants. The Chicken Masala and it was great. The veggie curry was good as well. My next trip there I will ask it to be a bit more spicy, just they way the chef would make it for his family...

I even ordered Tandoori Chicken which is not on the menu. It was good, but could have marinaded a little longer to get more of the spice flavor into the chicken. Yes I did stay away from the fish curry

My compliments to the Chef and YES I did change my rating. However cost is still a little high.
