Friday November 14th 2014. Time was about 19:15hrs ish.
This establishment is situated in the Highline Villages strip mall. We came in, greeted by 2 staffs, and seats ourselves. We sat ourselves near the Entrance, on the Right Wing of this establishment. Hmmm, I guess, it was slightly chilly since the weather outside is WAY CHILLY then anticipated. Inside, was rather chilly too, since maybe its our "fault" seating near to the Entrance of Taz Indian Restaurant. *SIGH*
On the Left Wing of this establishment is the BUFFET Trays or BUFFET Section, which on this evening, REMAINS Empty.. *DOUBLE SIGH*
After having some conversations with the Chef's Daughter, with regards to certain items from their Menu, such as the Samosas, Vindaloo and Madrash.
From their Simple Menu, we opt and ordered the following items :
* Vegetable Samosa ($5.99)
* Taz Special Naan ($3.99) The Special Naan is stuffed with option of Lamb, Chicken, Garlic, Cheese and Chilli (Choose 3 Combination)
- We opt to have Lamb, Cheese and Chilli
* Lamb Biryani ($14.99)
* Lamb Madrash ($14.99)
Beverages :
* Chai Tea ($1.99)
* Coffee with Milk ($1.99)
* Water
The staff gave us Complimentary Papadum which somehow was a little "stale", NOT Crunchy, or NOT Crispy, aka to our liking aka NOT FRIED that evening, or have been kept in a container for a long time. *SIGH*
The staffs ask if we want the Vegetable Samosas either in 6 mini pieces or 2 big pieces. We opt to have the 2 Big Pieces. That is good, if they offer options of the kind of Samosas based on Patrons decision. First came the Vegetable Samosa. YES it comes out piping hot from the fryer but its was a little bland and under-seasoned. YES its FRIED in crispy pastry with Mashed Potatoes with some Peas. It comes with 2 dipping sauce, the Tamarind and Mint Chutney. I like the Mint Chutney coz its a little spicy and very "addictive".
Then comes with our order of Lamb Biryani and Lamb Madrash. Hubs did not fancy or did not like his order of Lamb Biryani. *SAD FACE* The Lamb Biryani get a "MEH" and it lacks some of the essential spices that we are familiar with Biryani. I guess Taz Indian Restaurant Biryani its just one tone, one dimension of flavor aka DO NOT WOW us at all. *SIGH*
As for the Lamb Madrash, its SPICY to my liking, though they can be MORE SPICY. Hence I think this Lamb Madrash is my next mission to compare to other Indian Restaurants in town. YES, it comes out BRIGHT RED! Maybe with the " food coloring" or the SPICES that they put in the Madrash dish itself. For this alone, it received 3 stars in my personal taste buds and personal books. Hmm, now I am intrigued on how to cook Madrash dish from scratch!
With our order of Taz Special Naan, the Lamb that we opt for, came to a minimal at best, though its stuffed with Cheese and Chilli. For this Taz Special Naan, I wish they could increase the Lamb "pieces" and make it more "fluffier" kind of Naan.
Overall the service from the staffs are indeed inviting and they answered all our questions in terms on what they offer.
May return when needed since they offer LUNCH BUFFET everyday (Monday-Sunday) though unlikely... but I may just have to convince Hubs, the next time we come for a visit, maybe that Vindaloo dish can "win" our hearts, err in this case our tummy.
They are in the midst to have things running smoothly, more like with a Bar and other dishes to offer during LUNCH Buffet in a couple of weeks.. 3 stars at best. Left Taz Indian Restaurant at about 20:30hrs ish. From their Paper Menu, or TO GO Menu, its stated that they offer DELIVERY. Taz Indian Restaurant is opened DAILY from 11 am to 10pm.
Above anything else, we wish them well in their future Business undertakings and may them prosper with many more years to come in this part of Neighborhood.
