I'd read about this new place in the Whidbey Times, and am glad I did because it's extra special…read more I'm a longtime fan of Indian cuisine, but have never had food from the far south, in Kerala (actually, I hadn't heard of Kerala until tonight). Delicious. It's tiny and takeout only, but good things come in small packages, and this is proof. The owner/chef, "Unni," went out of his way to explain the ingredients, history, and culture, while providing tasty samples of everything. He clearly takes pride in what he does, and I'll be coming back a LOT. I don't know if they're there all the time, but his two delightful children were playing while I waited, and once they got over their shyness, they couldn't have been more entertaining. They insisted on pasting stickers on their dad's face, which he wore proudly. Lots of fun. Fortunately for me, Unni serves many meat dishes (beef, pork, chicken) in addition to vegetarian fare, so there's something for everyone. They even offer three kinds of rice! I see some complaints about the food being bland, but that wasn't my experience...quite the opposite. Lots of intriguing spices! Check it out yourself. Oak Harbor needs places like this!

I was camping on the…read moreisland and a little tired of camping food so i went for a vegetarian platter and took it to a park as takeout. As per the descriptions I read of this, the spices are subtle and mild unless you ask for extra heat. Which suites my taste. The vegetarian curry had a variety of vegetables and spices + choice of 3 vegetable dishes. My carrot, broccoli and beet choices were each special subtle and full flavors. Came with a mango yogurt and chutney and a crunchy garnish too. I upgraded my rice to Chamba which has a more interesting flavor and texture and I also ordered Raita extra because I love this tangy veggie-herb yogurt side. It all hit the spot and I would go back again next time I'm in the area. The container has to be handled carefully since two of the dishes were quite soupy but you could also order a sturdier cup in a larger serving. The owner was super friendly and also offered me little tastes of a couple other dishes while I decided. (It was a non busy early afternoon time) These include a couple meat options also available and were very good also. Easy parking, on north end of the town.

I am surprised this place isn't more highly rated! Food is very affordable and delicious. You can…read moreorder in bulk half-cooked or try a few pieces heated up. There are 2 locations - this location can walk in to order any kind of samosa, while the other location will require preorder 1 day notice for samosas that are not the potato & peas original one. I went here on a Saturday 11am and there was a good amount of people picking up bulk orders, but since we wanted to try the quality of the samosas, we ordered by the piece. Each piece is around 1-2 CAD each which is very good price. We got 1 of each (potato & peas (original), garden mix vegetables, beef, chicken, paneer, and butter chicken). We got a small tamarind chutney sauce for 0.50CAD extra. Total was around 9 CAD which is quite a solid price for a meal for 1 person (snack for 2 people). I liked their potato & peas (original) the most and all their vegetarian options are solid. The meat options are more ground meat so I'm not that big of a fan, but they're still good. It's just the value lies in the vegetarian samosas. Next time I bring a cooler and order in bulk, to enjoy at the comfort of my home for multiple meals!

I prefer Gujarati samosa which is a flatter triangle, rather than the more common pyramid shaped…read moresamosa. This place sells that, and it has many types of filling. I tried all the variations and I much prefer the original which has potatoes and peas. The others are ok, those with chicken or beef contain minced meat which made eating a bit messy. The paneer samosa is pretty good too. I will order the potato samosa and paneer samosa in future. The price of the samosa is also decent, starting from $1.10 or so, much cheaper than in the Indian restaurants. I don't like that the sauce is not included and you have to pay extra for that. They also charge for paper bag. This is mostly a to go place, with a couple of chairs to wait for the food. Most people ordered online to pick up.

We went for dinner and were expecting just a name change and perhaps a menu refresh but we were pleasantly surprised. We had lamb vindaloo, palak paneer, and Rahra chicken, which we'd not had before. There was more lamb and paneer than I would have expected, and the rahra dish had both chicken thigh pieces and minced chicken in it. They were also good about no cilantro, which I always ask for but have 70-30 odds of it still appearing. We actually had so much with 3 dishes, we had to take it home, which NEVER happens at a normal Indian place. Service was lovely. It was a great experience and I would definitely go back.
