This small little restaurant on the busy South Road sure does pack a flavoursome punch. I went there for the banquet with a large group, and the atmosphere was very nice. They played music videos on the TV which were enjoyable and really made it quite a nice evening.
Food was excellent. For $27/head, the proportions were more than reasonable and I got extra takeaway containers organised for lunch the next day. Corkage is also $6.50. Curries are also served separate from the banquet at a reasonable $16.95. The entree of pappadums was served with onion chutney and rosella sauce. I never knew that pappadums worked so well with rosella however this was quite a nice experience. The pappadums were cooked nicely too, not too oily and very similar to how I make them at home.
Spiced chicken and vegetable samosas were also served as an entree with a yoghurt sauce. These were very tasty and looked like fried chicken, however in a much nicer, tastier and less greasy batter than KFC. There was a good variety of vegetables in the samosa and the balance of flavour was very well done.
As for mains, there were four curries served including butter chicken, lemongrass, lamb and beef. There was briyanni and steamed rice served alongside the mains, along with Dahl and yoghurt. All of these mains were tasty, well spiced and seasoned. The curries were spicy but sill nice, there are no vindaloo's in the banquet however these are available for those who want to clear out the sinuses. This was served with a soft and fluffy nann bread that was excellent at soaking up all the excess liquid of the curries. The curries were a tad watery but if you order extra nann, this can made a very pleasant attribute.
For the dessert, a serve of icecream along with a small Gulab Jumun (a donut in a sweet scented sauce). This was a very nice way to round the evening and albeit small, was quite pleasant.
Overall, a lovely evening with great food, spices, flavours and ambience. I will return to this small yet cosy restaurant. read more
