This newish restaurant is nicely laid out and has a wide menu. I like the fact that they offer Indo Chinese dishes. The service when we visited wasn't super attentive but enough. The food was good both on the vegetarian and the meat dish side.
The restaurant was strangely quiet for a Friday night, though one never knows how much takeout the restaurant does. And in fairness, it's a more challenging area than Surrey or southeast Vancouver. But this got me thinking: the restaurant is good. What would help turn the restaurant from good to outstanding - that would distinguish itself?
--Spices. That's how Indian restaurant distinguish themselves, and I would describe the curry dishes as flavorful but not amazing or different from others.
--Paying attention to allergies. It's a common theme these days, and the server had to be reminding several times of my partner's allergies to mango products.
--Portion sizes. The Indian style Asian rice dish I has was just rice, but for the Aloo Gobi and Lamb dishes we had the portions were on the thin size. The prices were also a little on the high side particularly for beverages, but these days they pretty much have to be unless the customer base is very large. read more
