I am obsessed with the loaded fries, especially the shawarma fries -- they are so fluffy and crispy, the meat is perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the sauces are creamy. The pizza is also great.

The biscoff shake was nothing short of amazing. But the real star was the pizza. A really solid crust, heaps of gooey cheese, the right proportion of ingredients to allow the flavors to pop (and good quality ingredients to boot), and a wonderful curry masala sauce. This is how fusion cuisine is supposed to be- the best of both worlds that comes together in a way that is both new and comfortably familiar. Staff was polite and service was fast. I can't wait to bring my family next time. I have some picky eaters and some adventurous eaters (I also have serious food allergies) and there is something here for everyone.

Once we got done with that appointment, we walked around the corner to find where the smell was coming from and found this spot. We got there right before the lunch rush, as it filled up after. You order cafeteria style and we both got the lunch special to try some different things. It was around $10 each plus tip. Very tasty food! There are fresh herbs used, but don't get thrown off by seeing them in the food, it's delicious! Dining room has a couple of different TVs going, showing Bollywood style movies and clips. Fun to watch while we ate. Service is friendly, but barebones. Water is on the table, you bus your own table and lunch is on a plastic cafeteria tray. A great place to grab a quick tasty bite for lunch!

Before I ventured there on a Saturday evening, I tried to call several times to ask some menu…read morequestions but no one ever picked up the call. I was hopeful that they were possibly just very busy at that moment. The parking lot is shared with several other businesses located in this plaza. There is disabled parking in front of the business, but the ramp is in front of Sauce on the Side next door. As I entered this casual spot, they were very busy on this Saturday night. You can place your order online or at the walk up counter. There were several people in front of me, but the line moved fast. The menu is on the board behind the counter and you can see some of the fresh items displayed. There are some tables inside the restaurant if you decide to stay. It seems that the majority of the people ordered takeout. I ordered the onion pakoda, which is similar to onion straws, and it was a huge serving, enough for 2-4 people. It was served warm and crispy. The onions were sweet and the fried batter had good flavor. I tried the weekend special, which were 3 vegetarian choices out of 5-6: Palak Paneer, Paneer Butter Masala and Eggplant curry. Rice or naan does not come with it. It costs extra. The garlic naan was fresh and flavorful. The Palak Paneer was adequate, mildly spiced, and about what I expected. The paneer butter masala was well-spiced and had a slight capsaicin kick. The eggplant curry was absolutely delicious and rather spicy. I'm glad I had a drink close by. This was a very good value as I had enough leftover for another meal.

The beauty of phenomenal Indian restaurants is that you can order anything on the menu and know it will taste great. This visit I had the combo of chicken tikka, chicken vindaloo, daal tadaka, and of course this new shahi paneer that was a total game changer. All dishes were excellent. On the side I had the garlic and cheese naan with basmati rice. This place appears unassuming from outside but on the inside it has an upscale feel with cloth table tops and cloth napkins, glassware, and attentive dressed up staff that frequent your table often. I will be back. Perhaps even again this weekend!

This time around, the experience was a little better. I ordered the curry chicken with a side of garlic naan, while my wife chose the aloo baingan. The food took about 25 minutes to come out, which felt a bit long for lunch but wasn't unreasonable. One thing I did notice was that a table that was seated after us (they arrived about 10 minutes after we were seated) received their food before we did, including another table that had a larger party. It wasn't a major issue, but it did stand out and is something the kitchen could and should improve on. They should really work to a FIFO (First in First Out) schedule. That said, the food itself was very enjoyable. My curry chicken, ordered at a medium spice level, was cooked and seasoned perfectly to my taste. The garlic naan was especially good--fresh, flavorful, and a great complement to my meal. Overall, this visit improved my impression compared to the first time around.

We arrived at 11 am and had the freshest food... only miss was not having the chicken tempura served on a sizzling hot plate like the other night. However, having all the rest as a selection more than made up for that. The mushrooms in sauce was the highlight as my companion and I agreed. Our water was refilled with consistent diligence. I felt more attention than most waiters at normal table service... let alone at a buffet. The only question is are they adding heater to the restroom. Remember to bring cash for the discount on the buffet.

The restaurant was clean and featured a modern décor, which made for a nice atmosphere right from the start. We were seated immediately upon arrival, which is always a plus on a Friday night. To start, my wife ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and I went with my usual--a Corona with a lime. For our meals, she chose the Veggie Biryani, while I went with the Tandoori Chicken, with a side of rice and garlic naan. Her Veggie Biryani had that classic slow-building heat you expect from Indian cuisine. I tried a bite myself, and it definitely had a nice kick without being overwhelming. My Tandoori Chicken was cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and very satisfying. The garlic naan was also a standout and paired well with everything. Overall, the food, service, and experience were all very good. We'll definitely be returning to Black Salt the next time we're craving Indian food.

While browsing reviews, we came across a hidden gem in St. Ann called Maaji's Street Kitchen that had surprisingly high ratings. I couldn't believe how well-reviewed it was, so we decided to check it out for ourselves. We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Monday and were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in. We made our way to the counter to place our order, and the staff member was very helpful once we mentioned it was our first time. He walked us through the menu and even pointed out different dishes and combo options on their digital signage display menu, which made ordering much easier. We placed our order to go and waited inside. It's a small space, but it's decorated with unique art and has a really unique vibe. There was a hypnotic Indian song playing in the background, which added to the atmosphere. We sat at a table that had a game on it--I believe it was called Carrom, a tabletop game where you flick checker-sized discs into corner pockets, similar to a mini pool table. A woman who I assume was the owner or manager came out from the back and greeted us. While we waited, she showed us how to play the game. As we were playing, she came back and even offered us samples of the food we had ordered. I was honestly impressed by the level of hospitality--it's not something you experience very often. The sample alone was some of the best Indian food I've had. The spices were perfectly balanced for my taste, and it made me even more excited to get home and dig into our full meal. My wife ordered the Mixed Vegetable Curry Bowl, and I went with Combination #2 (Shredded Chicken Curry, Steamed Rice, and Parantha), along with a side salad. Overall, the experience was fantastic. I can't remember the last time we were treated this well at a restaurant, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more dishes.
