We had dinner here on Monday night. This used to be Riks Maha, not sure if they've changed…read moremanagement but the restaurant have made some improvements compared to what it looked like before. We were having second thoughts of coming in because when we looked at the menu, the prices went up. We used to get a decent delicious meal for the price of $10, but now, one dish w/out rice costs at least $12.99. We gave it a go thinking that they may offer great tastes like Riks Maha. Unfortunately not. The buttered chicken I ordered was too salty. The saffron rice was salty too. The mango lassi was quite ok but nothing spectacular. It was served in a plastic cup as if it was bought from the super market, considering that we're dining-in, I suppose they should've served it in a proper glass? The only thing I really liked was the garlic pita bread. Sadly, the dining experience was not enjoyable because we waited for almost 30minutes to get served such food. I was satiated, because I was hungry, but was definitely not satisfied.

This is the best Indian restaurant we have tried so far, everything they do just works. The service…read moreis friendly, attentive and knowledgeable; the dining room is warm and modern (except the strange tiled area); with the food as the highlight. I really liked the minimalist menu, with a focus on what they do well which appears to be southern Indian fare given the traditional pork vindaloo and the generous use of seafood. I would recommend the non-veg sharing platter for couples or groups, and if you like spice and heat, try the green chilli naan - it is fantastic. I doubted the good food guides rating of this place (14/20), however I recommend you check for yourself. PS - try the goat curry even if you are not food adventurous, it melts in your mouth.

We had the samosa appetizer which has mango and pomegranite in it but wasnt at all sweet and the fried stuff mushrooms which were light and crispy. The butter chicken was flavourful and not at all sweet (which is always a good sign) and rhe scallops in the scallop curry melt in your mouth. Everything we had was perfecty seasoned and balanced. AND they do take away! This is my go to indian restaurant from now on.

I'm usually wary of Indian restaurants in small towns.. claiming to be authentic. But this place…read morehits it out of the ballpark. The food is awesome with service to match. We showed up around 8:15 and took a while to order. And order we did: vegetarian entree platter, meat entree platter, salted lassi for starters. For mains: vegetable bengan (with eggplant, potato, tons of great onion, etc), daal, fish curry, chicken korma, paneer, naan, roti, stuffed pirata. A huge amount of food. The portions are reasonable and so are the prices - surprising for a resort town. The most expensive thing is $20-$25, while the average curries hover around $13-$15. The food was a little slow to come out, but the restaurant was almost empty and only one manager was on duty serving the whole place, and closing down... since we were there almost an hour after close. But they gave us excellent service - water on the table that was replenished, checking in regularly. Even letting us order paneer late in the dinner when other restaurants might have closed their kitchen. And, they gave us chai too. All that for $169, including tax and everything. You can believe we have the manager, Soni (I think) a good tip. Lest you think I exaggerate too much (I am white after all), I was there with my Indian mother-, father-, brother-, sister-in-law, and husband. They agreed it was really a solid meal. So, I give this place a 5 for service, 6 for exceeding expectations, and 4.5 for awesome food. The ingredients all seemed quality - good meats, no stringy fatty gross stuff - and the dishes were well spiced and delivered on all the classics. Definitely try this spot out!
