We showed up around noon and were greeted warmly. We asked for suggestions and took them, ordering three main dishes as well as an order of plain naan (flat bread) as well as garlic and cilantro naan that we could all share.<\/p>\n
These are the dishes we ordered:<\/p>\n
1) Vegetable korma: Mixed vegetables and paneer (fresh cheese) cooked with creamy onion sauce and garnished with cashew and coconut powder:<\/p>\n

This had really good flavour and texture. I don’t think the gals were wowed by it, but it’s just because one of the other dishes was so insanely good that it overshadowed everything else. I really enjoyed the vegetable korma and how the sauce seeped into the rice. It was also good mopped up with naan!<\/p>\n
2) Tandoori chicken: bone-in marinated chicken leg with onions and peppers<\/p>\n
This didn’t feel exotic to me to the way the vegetable korma did. The chicken was very flavourful and tender, with a flavour and bright red colour that I was not accustomed to. It came on a hot grill, the way fajitas come.<\/p>\n

3) Chicken tikka masala: chicken breast cooked in a creamy tomatoey sauce with spices I’d never had before that made it a little sweet. This was our absolute favourite. We pretty much fought over the bowl to mop up the last dregs of the sauce!<\/p>\n
