Is the food authentic? Indian waiters roam the floors and a quick survey shows about 30% Indian. I overheard the Indian woman hosting Minnesotans say the food is authentic.
The golden brown wedge at the 11 o’clock position is Bhatura, the fluffy fried bread. Underneath it is Naan, the unleavened bread. Both were good but my preference was for the Bhatura.
The cubes and orange colored sauce is Paneer Tikka, cheese marinated in yogurt and saffron, mild tasting. Gulab Jamun, deep fried milk ball in sweet syrup served as dessert. One is sufficient to cleanse the palate at meal end. Eating one is just right, eating two is too much.
Basmati rice and Aloo Gobi (potatoes cauliflower). The Gobi tasted of mild curry and again was nothing notable. At 7 o’clock is both Chicken Curry and Chicken Kashmiri. Although different aesthetically, these two dishes tasted quite similar to each other. At 8 o’clock position is Tandoori Murg, chicken marinated in yogurt, blended with garlic and herbs and barbequed in a Tandoor. This was my favorite and I went back for thirds. I give this one a rating of 9.0.
In the center is Alu Tikki, seasoned potatoes and peas fried in a chickpea batter. This was a mild dish and wasn’t crispy after sitting in the buffet tray for awhile.
Vegetable Samosa, stuffed with potatoes and peas, came out as I got in line. It was tongue burning hot. It was a non-spicy very filling comfort food. A few of these could be a whole meal.
I enjoyed the food however I was hoping for more kick, which they can spice up for you if you order off the menu.
