The staff and food were pretty good, but we weren't very happy with the butter chicken. I've tried several different recipes in my day, and cooked far more than I've eaten out, and I can say that hands-down this was NOT butter chicken. Butter chicken is supposed to have a cream, butter, and tomato base that's loaded with spices, onions, and garlic, while this dish WAS loaded with butter it didn't have any of the other components, or even the right spices, and the sauce was made with a very grainy coconut flour. It was really very odd.
I ordered the lamb vindaloo, it was pretty much the most excellent version I've ever had of this dish. I asked them to make it spicy for me, and they warned me that it would be very spicy, and I was pleasantly surprised at how slowly the spiciness built up and then maintained at the same level, it was really nice. American spicy pretty much either kicks you in the teeth or builds to the point that the level is intolerably high for most, but Indian heat builds and then plateaus, which makes the experience more pleasant and less like a food challenge.
Our starters were good, we had the poppadoms, samosas, and onion bajis. I'm not a fan of the mint sauce, but the onion salad and mixed pickle were great.
Overall, I'd say that this place is good and I'd both dine here again and recommend it to my friends. read more
