Great Service and Flavors, but Some Dishes Could Be Better
I recently dined at Mr. Chef's Indian Cuisine and had a delightful experience overall. One of the first things that stood out was the convenience of front-row parking.
The manager was incredibly nice and insightful regarding dietary restrictions. As someone with lactose intolerance, I was impressed with how accommodating they were. For my dish, the "Chef's Special Chicken Curry," they substituted milk with coconut cream, ensuring I could enjoy it without any issues. The dish was flavorful and tasted very fresh, though next time will substitute the chicken breast with chicken thighs just because the chicken breast was a bit tough to chew.
My husband ordered the lamb, However, the lamb we also tried was on the chewy side, which next time he will order the goat to see if it's less chewy, overall it was equally flavorful!
We dined inside, but the restaurant also has a beautiful outdoor ambiance with tables and string lighting. The pricing was reasonable, around the $15 mark, which I found to be excellent value for the quality of the food.
Another highlight was the flexibility in customizing my meal. Despite bell peppers and onions not being part of the original recipe, they happily added them for me at no extra charge. Our server was cautious about how spicy the mild options could be for some customers and recommended we have the spicy sauce on the side so we could control the heat level, which we very much appreciated. They also substituted my buttered rice (that comes with each meal) with naan bread without butter, allowing me to enjoy my meal without needing lactose pills. This level of attention and care was much appreciated.
Overall, I highly recommend Mr. Chef's Indian Cuisine. It's a small establishment with bold flavors, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience, though some dishes could benefit from a bit more attention to tenderness. read more
