The ambiance is very chill, colorful and quaint. Service wasn't too bad, although we were the only people there. I ordered the thali plate which came with ginger rice, sauteed mixed veggies, a beet salad, 2 fritters and some bread. I wasn't a fan of the beet salad, and the veggies smelled a bit spoiled. Everything else I happily munched down. Prices are decent considering anything exotic here has a high markup. I spent $400 ($20 USD as of Feb 2018) which included some tasty ginger lemonade. Altogether, a fine experience. I would return if in the mood for Indian food.

A delightful, intimate, Indian dinner in Palermo, Buenos Aires…read more For a truly delightful, intimate, Indian dinner I confidently suggest the ever-changing fixed-menu thali meals at Güngur (weekends) or the lunches (Monday through Thursday). Delightful, because each dish we tasted was flavorful, simple, and lovingly made. Intimate because there's a total of five tiny tables in a tiny space, nestled in-between the tiny kitchen, an airy dance studio space, and a charming clothing boutique, making a "little India" cultural space in a beautifully converted mansion. The clothing, the dance, and the food all intend to share the feeling of India, including classical traditional music and a modern mix named "India'n Beatles". The restaurant, which opened in August 2014, is a labor of love for chef Rabindra Nath Jana, who served us last night. Reservations are a must, and are sometimes available same-day. Five tiny tables means a limited seating. Vegetarian meals available. The lemonade we were handed after the menus was sweet and refreshing. The thali dinner consisted of an appetizer pollo (chicken) tikka marsala, mains of cordero (lamb) rogan josh and a biriyani, and a tasty, tasty dessert of rasmalai. (Hopefully we'll have the gulab jamun next time.) Remember what I said about limited seatings? One couple seemed to have arrived on the wrong day, and wouldn't take no for an answer. Once we realized this, my love and I prepared to vacate our table when the couple who properly reserved a spot arrived. The timing was perfect: the doorbell rang, we told the chef we'd take a pot of chai on the floor of the dance studio, and the just-arrived couple had a place for them to enjoy their thali dinner. An inexpensive meal, tasty and filling (and I'm not a small eater), a cozy setting, a bit of drama, and tasty chai enjoyed cross-legged on a dance studio floor. What's not to repeat?

However after a series of pasta and jamon y queso meals, I needed to change it up. Enter Tandoor. The token Indian restaurant in the busy commercial area. Replete with sitar background music and jazzed up uniform for the server. If you're from Europe or the States you'll find things are familiar to look but lacking flavor. When asked for extra spice they added something that kicks it up a notch but doesn't gel with the overall flavor profile. Maybe the local chiles and not suited for Indian food? Wrong. You get excellent produce in BA and I was able to cook in my Recoleta apartment using chillies and make shift spices. Overall the restaurant is a token "diversity" place and it delivers just that. In London or New York this place would be a 2 star dig.

A table of four were there when we arrived, and a solo guy arrive a little later. It's sort of surprising, given how much foot traffic there is in the area, and that they offer a rather enticing sounding menú ejecutivo for a mere 350 pesos, that includes appetizer, a main course curry, rice, naan, and a beverage. We decided to order off the extensive a la carte menu which stretches an impressive seven pages, offering up more than four dozen different dishes, from a variety of Indian regional styles. While we perused, a little basket of simple naan, with a quartet of classic sauces - yogurt with garlic (excellent), sweet tomato (a little too sweet), mint and cilantro (very nice), and a truly fiery chili sauce (like, sweat inducing). They have a mixed appetizer plate, which for our trio (originally planned as seven folk, but four cancelled during the last hours before the lunch for various reasons), was more than sufficient. A mix of vegetable and chicken pakoras, a potato samosa, and a couple of "crispi onion" pancakes. Yum all around. Good start! 280 pesos. And, a trio of main courses - a kadai ghost - a classic lamb and black pepper curry, one of the house specialties, and it definitely had a kick from that pepper (460 pesos), another house specialty, the bangalore mix, a prawn and angel shark curry with a beautiful depth of flavor and the fish cooked just perfectly (475 pesos), and a classic dal bhukhara - slow cooked lentils (overnight according to the menu) that'is one of my favorites, and this one was one of the better of the dish I've had (415 pesos). All absolutely delicious, as was the cardamom spiced jeera rice, and garlic naan (could have used a little more garlic, but tasty). Friendly and efficient service. Nice ambiance. Great food. Leaps and bounds ahead of what it used to be downtown, and really, nearly as good as meals we've had at other Indian favorite spots in town. The menus at all three are, in reality, very different, with what (in my limited knowledge of Indian food) I assume to be regional variations. On the whole, Mumbai is less expensive (15-20%) than Tandoor and more expensive (10-15%) than Taj Majal, but I'd happily eat at any of the three, any day. Lunch for 3, with cubierto (35 pesos/person), and a trio of waters, rang up to 2080 pesos, but knock off that 40% discount, and then add in a tip on the original price, and we walked out for 1500 pesos - a bargain!

We stumbled upon this restaurant on New Year's Eve after spending the whole day traveling from…read morePatagonia to B.A. It was the only place willing to seat us without a rezo so we were grateful that they took us in. Sadly, the food was just okay. The menu was a NYE prix fix with appetizer, main, desert, and glass of champagne. Our assortment of small appetizers was lackluster and forgettable. For the mains we selected the chicken tikka masala and lamb vindaloo. It wasn't terrible, but I felt completely indifferent. I recognize that I'm spoiled because I live 3 blocks away from Ajanta in Berkeley, CA (USA), the best Indian restaurant outside of India, where even the rice is life changing. The food didn't have a hint of spiciness but it also lacked spices. If there's one thing Indian food is known for it's all the wonderful spices. Maybe because it was hectic on NYE or maybe somebody stole their spice rack, but this place did not impress. The desert was wonderful but we had to wait 40 minutes for it to come out.

All six of these folk are clearly regulars, and garner effusive interactions with the two staff members in the dining room, one of whom spends most of the evening at a table by herself, eating. The waiter is reserved and a bit trepidatious talking to me, I'm not sure why. He is, at the least, concerned that I have a good meal, something he reiterates several times. I'm a little disappointed with the breadbasket - most Indian spots I've been to make an effort to keep it warm and fresh. These triangles of deflated chapati are room temperature and have clearly been sitting around awhile. The sauces are good, however - the tomato sauce not too sweet, the yogurt sauce with a nice hit of garlic, and the cilantro sauce with a kick of chili in it. I ask for, and get, a small dish of pure hot sauce, which, while delicious, is really fiery, almost more than I care for - clearly to be used sparingly. I spot Shik Kebab on the appetizer list and though it's not something I often order, I'm just in the mood. And, it turns out to be a good move. Delicious little ground lamb kebabs. I don't know it at the moment, but these are the highlight of the meal. (210 pesos) Almost at the same time, I get a plate of vegetable Samosas. Disappointing. The dough is very thick and is well overcooked, to the point that cutting into these would have been better accomplished using a nutcracker than a knife and fork. The filling is a thick paste of rather bland... something - the menu says they're filled with "mixed vegetables, onion, cilantro, whole cumin seeds, potato, peas, and chili". I was expecting those sort of diced up and maybe held together by a little bit of a paste of spices, but they've simply mashed it all together into an undefined, and not particularly well spiced mass. (175 pesos) My waiter absolutely insists, despite my attempts to get an assessment of some of my more favorite dishes listed on the menu, that I must, absolutely must, have their Tandoor Chicken. It's really not one of my favorites, but after three attempts to order something else and being told no, really, I absolutely must have this dish (perhaps it's the only main course they actually had available?), I relented and decided to give it a try, along with an order of paratha. The chicken was good, no question, it's just still not my favorite Indian dish. A whole leg thigh quarter smothered in mildly spicy tomato and onion sauce, on a tiny plate, served on a sideboard, making it a mess to cut and serve. The paratha, while well made, and even tasty, disappointing only in that paratha is traditionally made with whole wheat flour rather than white flour, something the waiter admitted to, but claimed, "there is no whole wheat flour in Argentina". What? Of course there is, you can buy it at the supermarket or any place else that sells flour. Maybe just not some particular kind that they're looking for, but it would be closer to the tradition, at the least. (Respectively, 350 and 80 pesos) I like the space. Service, or at least level of attention, would clearly improve if one was a regular. The food has its ups and downs - I haven't tried enough to assert that one should order certain dishes but not others, but I have the feeling that that's the case. (Though, if the waiter's assertion that the Tandoor Chicken is the best thing on the menu is correct, then maybe no....) If we hadn't had such a good meal at Mumbai recently, and with that, and Taj Mahal so close by to it, Vrindavan might rate more visits to try more. As it is, it was fine, just not as good as others.
