The Things and I came in today to give a new local spot some love and woooooow!
When we came in, there were no open tables ready, so one of the owners invited The Things and I to sit at the bar. Like many places now, the menu here is only available via smartphone. We ordered a few things off the menu and I was able to add my credit card to the order for easy check-out (bonus). This is an ideal concept as it allows patrons to get in and out of an establishment without waiting for a check to be brought to the table. Let's get to it!
Samosa Chaat
This street-style Samosa Chaat served here is a hearty, tangy, and spicy snack that represents all the best parts of Indian cuisine! It's layered with garbanzo beans, crispy samosa, chutneys, yogurt, spices, and sev to hit all the flavor profiles and textures in one dish. These samosas within this dish are crispy on the outside with a flavorful sev for an extra bit of crunch.
Mozzarella Cheese Bites
Nothing could possibly be more pleasing to cheese aficionados than these crunchy side dishes, tandoori mozzarella sticks, which are cheese, cheese, and more cheese all the way through! A simple flavoring of oregano and chili-flakes ensures that the overall effect of Indian style cheese sticks is very pleasing. Therefore, handmade Tandoori Mozzarella Sticks are nirvana for cheese lovers since the cheese is gushing out and is a treat for both the sight and the mouth. Bravo!
Tandoori Chicken Tikka
Ohhhhhhh, who doesn't love a Tandoori Tikka? This wonderfully spicy marinade gives a distinctive taste to oven cooked and grilled meats. Undoubtedly Tandoori chicken is the king of all tikkas in the tandoor repertoire. Amidst all the street food, kebabs, tikkas, biryanis and grilled meats, it's at the top of the list. This chicken was flavorful, mesquite and tender. The bed of vegetables the Tandoori sat atop of was grilled to perfection.
Tandoori Shrimp
These shrimp were big, juicy, fresh, firm and perfectly grilled while bursting with amazing flavors, a punch of spice, and deep flavors of Indian spices.
Tandoori Chicken Taco
This dish is described as Tandoori Chicken, with lettuce, onions, and Pico de Gallo topped with Tandoori Sauce on Naan Bread. The chicken on this dish was flavorful and tender while the addition of the pico to the Tandoori added a heightened layer of freshness to the dish.
Sassy Lassi
We also ordered a few drinks BUT I would like to highlight the Sassy Lassi which was lassi with rum topped with pistachios. The drink was warm (as far as flavor profile), creamy and sweet. This drink would fare well as a nightcap.
The service here was prompt and courteous. The owner checked on The Things and I more than once throughout service and asked if there was anything he could improve upon during our visit. The level of service combined with the food is worth the visit.
