I love Indian food, but don't have quite the knowledge to figure out what's what and what's…read moreauthentic. So I let myself to be dragged to this place, for what's supposed to authentic South Indian food.
The place is on the busy Vesterbrogade, slightly tucked in on the first floor with room full of natural light (it can get quite dark after sundown). All white and tidy, although I'm not sure if it's the smartest choice when you're serving curry and the likes.
I had masala dosa for starter, which is very good if you're into spicy stuff, as it's spicy. It was quite large and filling for a starter (I don't know want to know how big is the paper dosa is - that is claimed to be as big as newspaper, hope it doesn't taste like one either).
For main course I had the Karaikudi Nandu Masala, crab cooked in curry. Now here the challenge starts. It's two huge crab claws and half the crab (could've had more in it) cooked in reddish curry that is spicy and very good. I got all the tools I need but it would have been better if the crab claws were cracked first so it would make it easier for me to scoop out the meat.
Do I need to say that my part of table becomes very messy right away since I had to hold the crab claws and crack them? I do not regret a single thing tho' - that crab curry was very good and I'd do it all over again and that I'm used to eating crab, messy as hell, but at least the kitchen could've helped when the restaurant is decorated nicely, not a street food when you're allowed to break open the crab with a hammer :)
For dessert our friend shared the Idly (the pancake-looking made from fermented rice (the menu described these as the form of UFOs :P ) and gulab jamun that were also very good, but then again I'm not into sweet stuff, so I'd have no problem to skip those.
The bill comes up at 265 DKK for Masala Dosa, Nandu Masala and a bottle of Kingfisher. Quite fair considering I had the crab menu that is usually pricey anyway. I'd eat dinner here again, but maybe if I chose the crab dish again, I'd come better prepared Dexter style with plastic raincoat and gloves :P
