Indian Tea
Sarah S.

this is one of the best experiences i've had at a restaurant in a long time. i went here with a friend on a quiet wednesday evening where there was only one other group in the restaurant. the service was excellent, everyone was super polite and kind. i ordered the indian tea to start, which was surprisingly sweet in a brown sugar-type way. they also brought us some thin crackers with a variety of condiments to start. for my main, i ordered the chicken xacutti and plain naan. the portion size was good and the flavors were complex. i ordered medium spice and i would say it was more along the mild end, but you could still taste it. i also tried my friends platter, which included dal, a samosa, and gulab jamun. i was quite impressed by the gulab jamun; although inconspicuous it was the best gulab jamun i've ever had! the lighting was a perfect level of dim and it felt really upscale inside. i would recommend this as a good date night place or a place to take your family. i will certainly be back here again.

Menu

Nice ambiance, cozy setting in Mt Vernon Baltimore. Delicious food and great service! Chef visited our table with complimentary tea and desserts. Can't wait to visit again

Variety of weekend buffet
Tu T.

So glad I found another hidden gem in my area! Since COVID I've been deprived of eating out, especially at any sort of buffets. I'm happy to know that this restaurant offers their lunch buffet again! I love to have variety when I eat Indian and they have it all. Their buffet is stocked with great staples like palak paneer, tandoori chicken, butter chicken and even gulab juman. Every time I visit, their staff is very attentive and the food is always refilled right away. Their manager is great about providing good service and keeping their customers satisfied. I looking forward to visiting more and I encourage others to give it a try!

See all

Harbor Tandoor - LAMB SAAG, CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

WOW! You guys were right. This has been on my list for a while after some other Yelpers recommended…read moreit and it did not disappoint. Food came out FAST, like 45 min for our whole meal. We got the Kale Chaat, amazing, still talking about it. Crispy kale, yogurt w/ mint, sweet and savory and crispy. Omg, you gotta get it, I want it again already! For dinner I got the chicken dumplings (momo) and my husband got the tandoori chicken. It was actually too much food! The momo was delish but the tandoori chicken was the star entree for sure. It came with a side of masala sauce which was so tasty to dip in. Everything was actually pretty reasonably priced as well. My only complaint is that it was freezing inside - lots of guests wore their coats! They had a ton of to go orders ready - I'd definitely do that in the future, but it is nice inside! One of my new favorite spots for sure, I'll be back.

Harbor Tandoor is a good spot if you are craving Indian food although some dishes were definitely…read morestronger than others. The mango martini ($12) was good. It had vodka, Prosecco, mango, and passionfruit puree. It had a nice balance of sweetness and tartness, though it was not particularly sparkling from the Prosecco. The paneer chili ($9) was decent but not quite what I expected. The paneer was tossed with garlic, tomato based sauce, peppers, and onions, but it was softer and less crispy than I was hoping for. The veg jhol momo ($18) was interesting.... The menu mentions a Szechuan pepper based soup, but I did not get any Szechuan pepper flavor at all. Instead, the broth had a creamy, almost tahini-like taste. The momos themselves were fine, but the broth was not what I was expecting. The mixed veg jalfrezi ($16) was okay. It had a good amount of mixed vegetables in a tomato based sauce with green chilies, ginger, and onions. We ordered it very spicy but it came out sweeter than I preferred. The Goan fish curry ($19) was excellent. The tilapia was tender and the tomato coconut curry was flavorful, rich, and comforting. It had a nice balance of spice and creaminess. The garlic naan ($4) was soft, fluffy, and had a good amount of garlic and herbs. The beers were good too. The Taj Mahal lager was light and easy to drink, while the Haywards 5000 had a stronger, maltier flavor. Overall, service was good. Our server, Aro, was attentive. They have an outdoor seating area. Ambiance was upscale without the prices. They are located by a parking garage but there is also street parking available as well.

I had lunch at Sangam Indian Cuisine last week. It's fairly near my office, and I was craving some…read moreIndian food and wanted to try a place I'd never been. Sangam serves South Indian food and offers a lot of flavors and dishes that can't be found on every Indian restaurant menu: appam, dosas, thalis, Chicken Chettinad, and more. They also have every other dish you might be craving: butter chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, saag paneer, Paneer Tikka Masala... I ordered a salt lassi and their egg thali. What a great lunch. I love the opportunity to enjoy a thali - an entire meal in one dish. If you haven't had the chance to enjoy a thali before, it's a round platter used to serve a complete meal in small dishes. It typically includes a grain, dal/lentils, vegetables, raita, a dessert, and more. Sangam offers five choices: veg, egg, chicken, goat, and fish. It's great, because you get to enjoy so many different dishes in one meal - like the best personal small plates meal. I loved my egg thali at Sangam. I also really enjoyed the salt lassi. The service was very good - friendly and helpful. They didn't seem busy when I arrived (two other tables), but they seemed to do a lot of takeout business! I wasn't able to tip using the credit card machine brought to the table, and I didn't have cash to tip - I felt awful. I'll double tip next time I visit! I really enjoyed myself and will definitely be back!

We've been coming here for a few years now and it never ceases to wow us. Love the authentic South…read moreIndian flavors of the dishes here. Great attentive service as usual. Fantastic serving sizes too.

Nepal House - Shrimp Masala at Nepal House

I had been craving Indian food for weeks and decided on a rainy Friday evening around 11 that I…read moreneeded some butter chicken. I searched for the closets restaurant that was also opened on Yelp because that's a great feature, and found Nepal House. They have a banner on their site advertising their new extended hours of 11am til 1am. I was a little skeptical but figured it's hard to get Indian food wrong . . . They had a combo which came with your choice of specialty chicken, veggie samosa and naan. I opted for the butter chicken spicy level and garlic naan for an indulgent late-night meal before going home. That's the kind of comfort I didn't know I actually needed all week. I tried to order online but was having some trouble so called in for pickup. To their surprise, I was already outside, so when I was informed to arrive soon, I replied I was already outside. I went in after the 15 minutes my food was promised in and had to wait for a bit. I tried to make small talk with the young lady at the register but she seemed a little flustered for some reason. There was a couple seated in the main dining area but the bar was closed off. Ideally, I'd sit at the bar when I'm dining alone so I asked how busy the bar usually is and was informed it is usually packed. I didn't believe that at all because there were no signs of being used anytime in the near past at all. But ok. I continued to look around and noted the dated decor that was still rich in culture. My food was done and I paid. I've notice for some reason restaurants just hand you an amount on a machine and ask for you to pay. I asked for my receipt to ensure I wasn't being overcharged for anything and again she seemed flustered. She gave me the POS and said something, so I asked again but this time I asked to see what I was charged for. She then printed me a receipt and I waited to pay. Don't know what that was about but ok. Grabbed my food and walked fast to my car. I noticed a lot of people on that street either standing around or going in and out of businesses. I locked my door and proceeded to open my brown paper bagged late night dinner. First, I tried the veggie samosa which was steaming hot with very subtle flavors. I remembered asking if it came with sauce and was informed it did, so grabbed it out of the bag and dipped. It gave the samosa some more flavor but after seeing the dull green pea, I put it down and grabbed a piece of naan. It also lacked in flavor, and I couldn't taste any garlic. I opened my container with butter chicken and immediately dipped the naan in, like any good person would do. So hot, flavorful, creamy, seasoned, everything I needed at that moment. I would have jumped for joy but just grabbed the fork and went for a piece of chicken which was tender and I couldn't tell if it was a breast or thigh. So that meant if it was a breast, it wasn't dry but if it was a thigh, it wasn't juicy either. I was ok with the in between for the night. I didn't want to eat the rice but decided to indulge and scooped some onto my fork and then grabbed a piece of sauced chicken and quickly scarfed it down. I drove home and passed out in my parking space . . . . don't judge, mind your business. If you haven't passed out in your car after a good meal then are you really living? No, you're not. I'd go back for a late night meal if I'm in the area or if they are on my way back home again.

Ordered takeout from here earlier this week and I have to say, this is probably my favorite Indian…read moreplace in Mount Vernon. There's a few options to choose from and after trying each one, I think Nepal House has the best prices for the best quality and flavor. We ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and lamb vindaloo. Each came with its own serving of rice and included generous chunks of meat. They didn't just fill up the container with sauce and call it a day, the serving size definitely reflected the price unlike some other places. The lamb vindaloo was full of flavor and spice with soft squares of potatoes. The butter chicken was creamy and comforting with the right spice level. Everything was ready on time and packed with care. I'd love to return to dine in for their lunch buffet since it seems like a great deal.

Yesterday met up with some college (4) friends at Royal Spice in Lithicum Heights for late lunch…read more First time there for all of us and the food was flavorful and plentiful enough that we all had leftovers to take home. Not crowded for a Saturday and seated right away. They were pretty busy at least for delivery that it took a bit for our order but maybe because we were busy chatting and reminiscing. Couple of us had mango lassi sparkler - we enjoyed it and one ordered a non-alcoholic mango lassi and ended up not enjoying it - too yogurty for her. For the appetizer: chicken momo (dumpling) and samosa. Not bad! Main meal, I had the mixed platter which was very plentiful and flavorful, butter chicken mild and medium spice for two of the gals, and finally shrimp curry medium for the 4th gal. We highly recommended the very garlicky naan . The only negative I would say is that they were going to charge for extra sauce for my mixed platter. Ambiance was ok but a tad dark.
