Wow. Just wow! Friends and I stopped in for a takeaway order after a day at the beach yesterday. We ordered the butter chicken, chicken korma, and beef jalfrezi, all at "medium" spicy, along with a couple naan breads and steamed rice for each. At first I thought the pricing was a bit on the high end but the restaurant does look nice inside (despite being empty). All to-go orders are put in 500 ml containers (I think that's what she said) and they are packed to the brim. So, three friends x three steamed rices = 1500 ml of rice for $3 AUD as we'd added to our three entrees. This rice wasn't just plain white rice, it had a bit of something to it as it came yellow and had a touch of flavor. My friends said this was a bit of saffron, and I'll roll with that.
Each entree dish came out perfectly, with a generous portion of meat that was tender and well-seasoned. My tastebuds are still getting used to the Australian market and ordering the "medium" spicy was perfect, a good kick and opened the sinuses a bit. One of my friends said they obviously cook the meat with the sauce instead of adding it later, because the sauce flavor is all the way through the meat. They were also really impressed that they were all such good cuts of meat. We each could barely get through our dishes, there was so much food!
Bonus points: they had a Yelp check-in offer that scored me a free can of Solo, they have online ordering, they deliver, and our takeaway order was ready much more quickly than the 20 minutes she quoted. read more
