Favorite Indian restaurant in the area/HK island!…read more We frequent here regularly to dine-in or for take away. The "mom-and-pop" restaurant is very authentic and woman who runs it is super nice and friendly! I often want to try new dishes, but have my favorites as well - any of the Chicken Specialties dishes, Fish Curry or Fish Vindaloo (hot!). If dining in and not sure what to order, I'm always offered recommendations that never disappoint. We always start with the samosas and an order of garlic naan and cheese naan are givens. Tip: ask for more mint sauce after the papad :) The 2-person dinner sets for just $278 are a great deal and include A LOT (4 starters, 2 mains, naan, rice, and soft drinks)!

Seating is tight and you can definitely feel on top of others but the food is incredible. There's multiple kinds of chaats. I went with the palak paneer and it was probably the best I've ever had.

We asked for water and never got it though after we left, I realized we paid for it- check your bill, they are super busy.

Yes, not a typo, this Indian restaurant is located inside the Queen Street Cooked Food Market. You will find the escalators across from the 7-11 on the corner of Ko Shing Street to take you up to the dai pai dong. The manager/head guy (might be an owner, not sure) has the nicest friendliest face. He is Nepalese. His nephew was working as a waiter that night. Keep'n it real in the family. Service was friendly, simple, quick. Not forging new ground on customer service here, but staff seemed happy we were there. NAAN! I might have the cheese naan bread from Chautari on final meal list if I knew I were going to die tomorrow. It is that cheesy, piping hot, buttery and delicious. But in addition to my addiction to carbs via naan bread, we enjoyed basmatti rice, fish curry and saagwala paneer (spinach and cheese...love any culture to includes cheese in any dish!) Everything is cooked to order, tastes home made like from some old Indian woman's kitchen and all dishes arrived in good presentation, piping hot, super flavorful and colorful to boot. We will be back.

I travelled and ate out a lot and this is the first time I had to do it. The place was empty and there was only another 2 guests. When we were reading in the menu, she stood far with total indifference and didn't even fill our water. When I asked her "what is this food"? Her reply was a frowning "I cannot explain." "I don't know". Every little interaction She treated us as a headache rather than customers. Again she was not busy cause there were only other 2 guests plus two of us. Her English was adequate. Hungry and tired in Hongkong's humid summer, I felt that I either had to leave or ask for another waitress. The other waitress was polite and attentive. Being at a very international district of Hong Kong, this level of rudeness was shocking.

I have always been there for dinner, but they also have lunch time buffet (for 90 HKD!) which is probably the best value for money you can get around this area. The place isn't really fancy; it's a wide open space with a ton of tables - pick the ones close to the window; they don't have tables for two. In fact, they're big enough to accommodate for 5 people and, what's more important, for the procession of dishes that you may end up ordering. They have a delivery menu that you can check online and a la carte menu, which is the one I know, and I can almost recite from memory. From what I've tried I would highly recommend any of their chicken dishes (especially Makhani, Korma or Vindaloo). They normally come as mildly spicy and you should ask them to spice your dish up or down. The chicken meat always comes very tender and flavorsome (I haven't experienced the same thing with mutton for example). As a starter, you can't miss the Saag Paneer. It may be a little pricey for an appetizer or side dish (around 70 HKD) but it is absolutely worth it. It's the best one I've tried so far. A dinner for two can cost around 250 HKD, service charge included (but not drinks) which is a pretty good deal!

A Vegetarian Heaven in Hong Kong - A Must Visit after China!…read moreAfter two weeks of struggling to find decent veg food in China, Kailash Parbat was a blessing in disguise! Located conveniently within walking distance from my hotel (intercontinental in Kowloon area) it's located on the 2nd floor, this hidden gem boasts beautiful decor. The food? Absolutely delicious! I went here with a colleague of mine. We ordered: * Pav Bhaji - flavorful and authentic - ordered with extra pav * Chole Kulche - mouthwatering, served with 4 HUGE kulchas! Prices were reasonable, and I left with a full tummy and a satisfied heart. If you're a vegetarian traveling in Hong Kong (especially after China!), look no further. Highly recommend!"

It is a nice date spot Gents! So the food. Samosas are a must for me. Then, Lamb curry with garlic naan bread. I would also recommend the giant prawns. They have a dish that is made up of spinach and cubes of cheese - also one of my favourites. Try their yogurt drink too! I skip the dessert. I never liked indian desserts. Pricing is averaging about 175 per main dish. So I'd say, it's about 350$ per person. They do accept credit cards. Lastly the waitresses are a bit pushy for my taste and seem to be very pressed for time. ( the last time I checked, there were only 2 other tables occupied) In my experience there were 2 waitresses catering to 4 people. We barely sat down and both waitresses asked for our drink order. Come on! Give us some time to settle in.. To make this short, we were served extra drinks and food, and charged for it, because the staff doesn't communicate or they on purposely did this. I'd vouch for the first. Anyway, be VERY CLEAR with your order. Otherwise the food is fantastic.

Walk up past the revelry in Lan Kwai Fong along the brick and stucco Fringe Club to get to Ista, a…read morerestaurant with a mosaic bar and an alfresco terrace for shisha sessions. I went to this restaurant on a Thursday night by bringing a good Indian friend from primary school to test it out. Ista offers an assortment of Indian food that includes soups, salads, appetizers, tapas (chicken, seafood, lamb, vegetarian), and a whole lot more. I find their menu very comprehensive and also indicates the spiciness of the dish and if it's suitable for vegetarians. The majority of the food is Indian but with touches from other Asian cuisines. Ista has a spacious modern interior which surprisingly, doesn't feel Indian, except for the Bollywood house music. Tables are well-spaced, seats are plush, and there's a certain bit of intimacy to be said with the dim lights. We started with a traditional Indian lamb soup, the gosht goli shorba. It was hearty and savory and the lamb was really tender. I skipped the samosas, rotis and naans as I had plenty of that back in high school. The next dish was the murgh tikka chaat, which tasted similar to tandoori chicken and was very aromatic, enhanced by the chaat. For the mains, we spared no expense and went with the classic full tandoori chicken. My friend noted that authentic tandoori chicken has to be marinated for at least 8 hours. The chicken was succulent and smoky and falls right off the bone. If I had to order only one dish from Ista, it would be this. Overall, Ista is a great Indian restaurant and an authentic one at that. For those who want to come only for the shisha, the alfresco terrace is open everyday except Sunday from 5:30 in the afternoon until 11 in the evening.
