We feel we are now 2 for 2 with great experiences in this dai pai dong. Second base hit was with Chautari Indian Restaurant. A solid strong 4+ Yelp Star.
Yes, not a typo, this Indian restaurant is located inside the Queen Street Cooked Food Market. You will find the escalators across from the 7-11 on the corner of Ko Shing Street to take you up to the dai pai dong.
The manager/head guy (might be an owner, not sure) has the nicest friendliest face. He is Nepalese. His nephew was working as a waiter that night. Keep'n it real in the family. Service was friendly, simple, quick. Not forging new ground on customer service here, but staff seemed happy we were there.
NAAN! I might have the cheese naan bread from Chautari on final meal list if I knew I were going to die tomorrow. It is that cheesy, piping hot, buttery and delicious.
But in addition to my addiction to carbs via naan bread, we enjoyed basmatti rice, fish curry and saagwala paneer (spinach and cheese...love any culture to includes cheese in any dish!) Everything is cooked to order, tastes home made like from some old Indian woman's kitchen and all dishes arrived in good presentation, piping hot, super flavorful and colorful to boot.
We will be back. read more
