This is an interesting place but since I'm no expert in Indian food, take my writing as a grain of salt. This Indian restaurant is very simple in interior decorations (barely a few tables, no pictures on walls, limited lighting options), but it has a bar. Not a lot of people eating inside when we came visit on Saturday 7pm. The menu consists mostly common Indian dishes such as biryani, tikka, butter chicken and a few varieties of naan bread. It's just quiet and not busy at all. Only one man was manning the area, at times the restaurant would be empty with nobody there as the waiter went inside to carry out take out, makes me wonder what happens if a robbery happens right then.....Onto the food. Ordered lamb chop and chicken biryani. I mostly got attracted to Indian food because of the long grain rice but the spiciness got me every single time! Really miss the Indian buffet I tried somewhere that had non spicy Indian dishes and they were so tasty and different, yet they seem to be unavailable in most Indian a la carte menu. So the spiciness here got me again. The lamb chop was spicy, so is the chicken biryani. The spiciness grows on you, first bite is a little bit spicy, bearable; second bite, ok, it's there; by the third bite, how does it get so spicy?! It seems the hotness builds up in time and even dipping them in yogurt doesn't help. The same goes for the biryani!Also one thing to note on the chicken biryani. The picture on the menu shows a big size chicken drum stick sticking out from a bowl of rice. In reality, the chicken with bones were chopped and buried inside the rice. So the picture was a bit misleading....The restaurant is not big, but there's a short walk that connects it to an Indian sweet shop at the back and that place seemed to be a lot more popular and authentic. The owner is the same man and he seemed to be nice and on top of his game.
