there is a sister restaurant in york itself! and dare i say tastier!!! i cannot find address but its near the opera house
.
after a a period away from qype i finally found a place i want to rave about!! my senitments are exactly as for those that have reviewed before me!
though it is expensive, but bare in mind, the grandeur of the place, table cloths, an linen napkins. the number of staff per area, its worth the little extra!! also all the ladies left with a rose, though gimmicky, was a very nice touch.
they have a buffet which we will definately try at some point! (ring for times)
we had the a la carte menu, of nepalese chicken, can't remember the lamb dish hubs had, an cannot find fault with any thing, the lamb was lean and melted in the mouth. (no fatty or grissly bits) the spice level just so. the menu offers a choice of spice levels an love the terminology they use to discribe the dishes, ie for the weaker palette, etc its an extensive menu, with the normal rogan josh, korma dishes (about similar pricing as other indian restaurants, its the specialty dishes that cost more) an some that i've not seen before. but we both tried out new dishes, an both were superb an tasted different from each other. mushroom rice, peshwari nan, takka dahl (this had a touch of coconut in it, which was perfect for the spicier dishes we had) an a sag ponier, excellent! not forgetting the poppadoms an pickle tray! and for once a choice of two onion salads! as we both adore onion salad, theres always a fight for the last scoop!
in fact there was enough left for a doggy bag, an the left overs were placed in plastic containers, an did very nicely for, my poor son who had to stay at home! and even he enjoyed the lamb dish! as he normally wont eat lamb as he finds the meat fatty.
the atmosphere is relaxed, but attentive, so no hovering as you eat! so you never feel rushed. its a large restaurant, but the seating plan an lay out, gives you a sense its smaller then it is an adds a cosy feel to the place.
there is a large comfortable lounge area you can sit in after your meal or while you wait for a table, price for drinks as you would expect, nothing made me gasp an think i'll have a small one or water please.
the ladies toilets, very clean! through out, even in the corners! in fact i found it hard to spot gathering of dust anywhere in the restaurant!
also the car park is a nice size an all bays well marked. so why travel into york, pay for car parking?? read more
