A table of four were there when we arrived, and a solo guy arrive a little later. It's sort of surprising, given how much foot traffic there is in the area, and that they offer a rather enticing sounding menú ejecutivo for a mere 350 pesos, that includes appetizer, a main course curry, rice, naan, and a beverage. We decided to order off the extensive a la carte menu which stretches an impressive seven pages, offering up more than four dozen different dishes, from a variety of Indian regional styles. While we perused, a little basket of simple naan, with a quartet of classic sauces - yogurt with garlic (excellent), sweet tomato (a little too sweet), mint and cilantro (very nice), and a truly fiery chili sauce (like, sweat inducing). They have a mixed appetizer plate, which for our trio (originally planned as seven folk, but four cancelled during the last hours before the lunch for various reasons), was more than sufficient. A mix of vegetable and chicken pakoras, a potato samosa, and a couple of "crispi onion" pancakes. Yum all around. Good start! 280 pesos. And, a trio of main courses - a kadai ghost - a classic lamb and black pepper curry, one of the house specialties, and it definitely had a kick from that pepper (460 pesos), another house specialty, the bangalore mix, a prawn and angel shark curry with a beautiful depth of flavor and the fish cooked just perfectly (475 pesos), and a classic dal bhukhara - slow cooked lentils (overnight according to the menu) that'is one of my favorites, and this one was one of the better of the dish I've had (415 pesos). All absolutely delicious, as was the cardamom spiced jeera rice, and garlic naan (could have used a little more garlic, but tasty). Friendly and efficient service. Nice ambiance. Great food. Leaps and bounds ahead of what it used to be downtown, and really, nearly as good as meals we've had at other Indian favorite spots in town. The menus at all three are, in reality, very different, with what (in my limited knowledge of Indian food) I assume to be regional variations. On the whole, Mumbai is less expensive (15-20%) than Tandoor and more expensive (10-15%) than Taj Majal, but I'd happily eat at any of the three, any day. Lunch for 3, with cubierto (35 pesos/person), and a trio of waters, rang up to 2080 pesos, but knock off that 40% discount, and then add in a tip on the original price, and we walked out for 1500 pesos - a bargain!

We stumbled upon this restaurant on New Year's Eve after spending the whole day traveling from…read morePatagonia to B.A. It was the only place willing to seat us without a rezo so we were grateful that they took us in. Sadly, the food was just okay. The menu was a NYE prix fix with appetizer, main, desert, and glass of champagne. Our assortment of small appetizers was lackluster and forgettable. For the mains we selected the chicken tikka masala and lamb vindaloo. It wasn't terrible, but I felt completely indifferent. I recognize that I'm spoiled because I live 3 blocks away from Ajanta in Berkeley, CA (USA), the best Indian restaurant outside of India, where even the rice is life changing. The food didn't have a hint of spiciness but it also lacked spices. If there's one thing Indian food is known for it's all the wonderful spices. Maybe because it was hectic on NYE or maybe somebody stole their spice rack, but this place did not impress. The desert was wonderful but we had to wait 40 minutes for it to come out.

A delightful, intimate, Indian dinner in Palermo, Buenos Aires…read more For a truly delightful, intimate, Indian dinner I confidently suggest the ever-changing fixed-menu thali meals at Güngur (weekends) or the lunches (Monday through Thursday). Delightful, because each dish we tasted was flavorful, simple, and lovingly made. Intimate because there's a total of five tiny tables in a tiny space, nestled in-between the tiny kitchen, an airy dance studio space, and a charming clothing boutique, making a "little India" cultural space in a beautifully converted mansion. The clothing, the dance, and the food all intend to share the feeling of India, including classical traditional music and a modern mix named "India'n Beatles". The restaurant, which opened in August 2014, is a labor of love for chef Rabindra Nath Jana, who served us last night. Reservations are a must, and are sometimes available same-day. Five tiny tables means a limited seating. Vegetarian meals available. The lemonade we were handed after the menus was sweet and refreshing. The thali dinner consisted of an appetizer pollo (chicken) tikka marsala, mains of cordero (lamb) rogan josh and a biriyani, and a tasty, tasty dessert of rasmalai. (Hopefully we'll have the gulab jamun next time.) Remember what I said about limited seatings? One couple seemed to have arrived on the wrong day, and wouldn't take no for an answer. Once we realized this, my love and I prepared to vacate our table when the couple who properly reserved a spot arrived. The timing was perfect: the doorbell rang, we told the chef we'd take a pot of chai on the floor of the dance studio, and the just-arrived couple had a place for them to enjoy their thali dinner. An inexpensive meal, tasty and filling (and I'm not a small eater), a cozy setting, a bit of drama, and tasty chai enjoyed cross-legged on a dance studio floor. What's not to repeat?

However after a series of pasta and jamon y queso meals, I needed to change it up. Enter Tandoor. The token Indian restaurant in the busy commercial area. Replete with sitar background music and jazzed up uniform for the server. If you're from Europe or the States you'll find things are familiar to look but lacking flavor. When asked for extra spice they added something that kicks it up a notch but doesn't gel with the overall flavor profile. Maybe the local chiles and not suited for Indian food? Wrong. You get excellent produce in BA and I was able to cook in my Recoleta apartment using chillies and make shift spices. Overall the restaurant is a token "diversity" place and it delivers just that. In London or New York this place would be a 2 star dig.

Setting things up, when it looked like we had six of us headed that way turned out to be…read more.. interesting. As yesterday was a holiday, I'd sent a quick Facebook message to the place asking if they'd be open for the holiday. I ended up in a chat with the owner, and yes, they were open, but he absolutely refused to take a reservation via Facebook, insisting I call - which I did, but the phone just rang and rang, even though he was supposedly sitting there awaiting my call. But, he would only take the reservation by phone... try again. I went to bed. So we just headed there without a reservation. In the end, after five people cancelled within the last couple of hours before lunch, and one joined, it was just me and one other person, venturing into the completely empty place (seven other people came in over the course of the lunch hour). During lunch, I got a FB message from the owner asking if I was ever going to call, and if we were still coming - I didn't see it until after we left, but responded that two of us had been there, had lunch, and I'd tried to call but gotten no answer... after a pause, he came back with, "oops, sorry, I gave you the wrong phone number". Why not just take the damn reservation while we were chatting online? The menu is reasonably extensive, and includes various chicken, lamb, and prawn dishes in different curries and tandoors and tikka masalas and kormas and all the others that we typically see. Plus a couple that seemed to be in-house inventions, like "Cilly Chicken" (which we pronounced as Silly Chicken, but the waiter corrected us to Chili Chicken - oh, okay, that makes more sense), and "Chicken do Díaz", which sounds like something Argentine, but the waiter touted highly as the best chicken dish. Then again, with the "do" rather than "de", it would be Portuguese - maybe it's a real dish from the Goa area which is heavily Portuguese influenced? There are a whopping three vegetarian dishes on the whole menu - a dahl made with lentils, a panak paneer (spinach and cheese) and some sort of mushroom curry. We ordered some eggplant pakoras (they were out of cauliflower ones) and vegetable samosas, which at 30 pesos per order for, respectively, four and two of them, is a complete steal, that's less than a dollar, and, they were quite good, though the pakoras could have been left in the fryer another 30 seconds to crisp a little more. The naan, available in "all sorts of flavors" (none of them listed on the menu, but apparently in garlic, onion, green onion, cilantro, and/or mint) were not quite what we think of as naan, but more like a soft pizza dough - puffy and doughy, and not brushed with ghee, clarified butter, which we're used to seeing. And, the variety makes sense, because the onion (which we ordered) wasn't cooked into the dough, but just sprinkled on top - so I guess they can just sprinkle anything. Personally, I'd pass on the naan, and only had one bite, but my companion ate it all. The trio of dipping sauces - a mint sauce (rather than the more common, at least to me, cilantro) was good, as was the chili paste. The chutney was syrupy sweet, and we left it alone after one try. With just two of us, we couldn't sample much of the menu, but a lamb vindaloo and the much hyped chicken from whomever Díaz is hit the table shortly. We'd made a point of asking for spicy. The waiter made a point that nothing they served was spicy, but they could make it so. We made a point of saying, "not Argentine spicy, but actually spicy". He made a point of saying, "okay, Indian spicy". Neither dish was spicy. Both were delicious, a great blend of spices and herbs, but no heat whatsoever. So we ordered another ramekin of chili paste - it's not the same, but at least gave a bit more of a kick. The vindaloo had the oddity of having fried potatoes scattered on top of it rather than potatoes cooked into the curry. An Argentine affectation? The "basmati" rice was good, though I don't think it was really basmati, it just didn't have that fragrance, and I know the real stuff is hard to get here - most of what is sold as basmati, just isn't. All main dishes run about 280-290 pesos ($8) including their accompanying rice. Overall, pretty place, though very dim and weird lighting (different colored bulbs in the various overhead lamps - white, blue, green, yellow). Friendly service. Very good food, not wow, but certainly better than a few of the places I've been to in town. Quite reasonable. If I lived up at that way, I'd certainly eat there again, and more than once.
