ATMOSPHERE: Beautiful and romantic, with authentic accents and the relaxing scent of nag champa in the air. A quiet reprieve from the crowds of Old Town.
SERVICE: Service was a bit slow, but fit the relaxed atmosphere. This is not a fast food joint, it is a place to slowly savour your meal over a refreshing glass of Cobra after a long day on your feet.
FOOD: Our waitress listened to our preferences and made some spot-on suggestions:
1) Mutton samosas - HUGE and delicious, practically a meal in themselves!
2) Chicken madras - very spicy and flavourful
3) Chana masala - mild and a very good partner for the spicy chicken madras
4) Butter naan - light and fluffy, sizeable portion
We ordered the above 4 dishes with 2 Cobra beers and were full to the point of bursting, PLUS we had enough to take home and make another meal with some added basmati.
The biggest downside was that they do not offer payment by credit card, which can be difficult for tourists with limited cash on hand. However I will definitely be stopping back here next time I am in Old Town for a mutton samosa pick-me-up! read more
