Mumbai 27 - Kolkata Thali, Horin-Er-Mangsho (Venison)

Food: Wow the Korma was really good, very sweet though which through me off for a moment, but…read moreafter I had a few bites, it was really good. Garlic Naan was good also. Kinda strange they don't have Jasmine rice but perhaps that just something I'm used to in the States...? I dunno. I was a little sad they were out of the Indian sweets dessert though... Service: Server was nice and didn't hover which is good. Come by and check on me once or twice a meal, that's all I need. It's definitely a European thing to not bring the check by when it is clear you are done eating. It's not because they forgot about you, it is because they think you wanna just "chill" and converse, drink, etc. Price: Pretty decent on price, it would be 20-25 GBP for a good meal. Atmosphere: It's cute inside, Indian-esque. Lots of charm for a little hole in the wall. The backsplash lights were a little bright at times though and did start to hurt my eyes after a while. I think only a portion of the restaurant has them... Overall: You know, I was told there was good Indian food in the UK and Mumbai 27 did not disappoint! I am going to have to come back to try more of their dishes because they had a lot of items I had never seen before. Cheers!

One of the most unique dishes was the Horin-Er-Mangsho, a loin of local venison flame-grilled to medium rare and served with tamarind sauce on the side. The venison was super juicy, meaty, and flavorful, making for a delicious starter. For my main, I got the Kolkata Thali, described on the menu as "South East Indian Tapas." This metal platter came with a sampling of different vegetarian dishes including breaded paneer, aloo tikki (spiced mashed potato patty), stir-fried okra, shredded potatoes, dal (mixed lentils), chickpeas in tomato sauce, eggplant in tomato sauce, raita, rice, and plain naan. My favorite was the aloo tikki, which was nicely spiced--in general, however, most of the dishes on the thali were all toned down in spices to fit a more Anglo-Indian flavor palate. So while this wasn't the most authentic Indian food I've tried, the restaurant still made for nice trendy dining experience.

It was one of those evenings where I felt the Gods were conspiring against me. We'd planned to go…read moreto this place early evening for the first time on a living social deal. My date, my wife of 36 years. I couldn't get the coal fire to light at home, I'd left it late eventually succeeding just in time to add slack to back the fire up, close the air vents and leave for our meal. I blamed Andromeda; now I wasn't looking for the temperature of the nuclei of the blue snowball planetary nebulae but a shade above 15c would have been nice before we went out into 2c. Anyway as ever I digress; this deal was about £20 for two. The rating reflects this fact: we were the only diners and had 4 four excellent, fresh cooked, plain poppadoms with 3 fabulous dips; mint, spicy & mango chutney, the dips remained on the table to use with the two mains, two portions of rice (boiled & pilau), two side salads, two naan bread (garlic & Peswari) and a choice of two glasses of wine or beer. My wife took both quarter bottles of white wine on the deal (menu price £3.50 each) I had a 660 ml of ice cold cobra (£4.75). I'd be much happier had there been real ale choices but realistically this place is in a small village in the countryside and probably has no demand for my predilections. There were a few meals not on the deal - steak (I wouldn't have steak in an Indian) and tandoori king prawn dishes: fair enough. We both opted for the mixed grill served with vegetable curry. So rather than two veg curries we asked if one could be korma, this was no problem. They use a gas tandoor. The naan breads were very good, the two sauces were good with both containing similar vegetables, a mix of fresh & frozen vegetables. The mains were above average to good with a quarter of skinless chicken, tandoor chicken and lamb pieces and a piece of seekh kebab. The main alone would be a score of three. Being picky: the chicken quarter should have been deeply scored with a knife to allow the spice flavours to penetrate the meat to the bone, some lemon juice and garlic shards should have been added to the marinade as these make a big difference and add extra fresh lemon juice just before serving (or put a piece of lemon on the dinner plate), cut down on the red food dye and on a positive note, the balance of salt and spice in the lamb seekh kebab was just right. The quality of the naans, willingness to let us choose our sauces, the friendly attentive service and the cracking deal warrant excellent. I wouldn't have liked to pay the near £14 full menu cost for the mixed grill main as it would have been expensive for what was on the plate and I'd have been less generous in my rating. Then out to freezing point; a clear dark sky with Andromeda plain to see, as was Alpha Andromedae on its North East edge. The car radio came to life, radio two with a charming Michael Ball, as we drove off to 'Perhaps Love' John Denver & Spaniard Placido Domingo (means peaceful Sunday) one of our all time favourite songs. Then the angelic tenor Art Garfunkel singing 'Bright Eyes'. This was No 1 when our first son was born. Andromeda was smiling on us after all, lighting our way and our memories home over wet country roads. All we needed to top this winter night was John Denver singing 'For You' so at the push of a button off went the radio and on came John. If you have never heard either of these two songs go on you tube. They really are worth 10 minutes of your day and play loud. And home to a warm fire. Thanks after all Andromeda.

I have never had a bad experience in this kebab shop. The worst thing that has ever happened is…read morethat I can taste the onions for day but personally I think that is often the sign of a great kebab. Expect to queue and expect to be delighted. After a hard night on the sauce this is the place to go in Newtownards. The hardworking team have to put up with a lot because as far as I can tell the majority of their customers are drunk. I always order the same thing donor kebab with all the salad trimmings on pitta bread and chips - gorgeous! and really reasonably priced. I always seem to have enough coins left for one after a night out. The food is delicious, they have a massive selection and it is all made there in front of your eyes. The place is clean and the poor guys working behind the counter take the drunken antics with a good heart. When we lived abroad we often chatted about Lahores and how we missed it. I don't go there often anymore as I am trying to be good for my wedding but when I do go it's always a delight. YUMMY!

Lahore in Ards sells the best kebabs I have ever tasted - and I have travelled extensively and…read moretried others. But this is the best ever. The Nan bread is freshly made and our favourite is doner with salad - always fresh with the house kebab sauce. It is superb and so tasty. The mixed kebab with chilli sauce is another good choice - though the doner is hard to beat - not to mention value for money - superb. Delivery service is excellent - never too long to wait. Please try - you will not be disappointed - I am very critical about food and to receive excellent service, value for money and fantastic food is something we don't get much of today. Keep up the good work Lahore. I award you 6 stars!!!
