Customer Reviews
We dined in at this restaurant on our Orlando visit – Day 1 when my wife craved for some Indian food. There were only two staffs and a few tables when we got there. The guy wearing a shirt with his glasses on who was probably the manager said that there will be a 20 minutes wait-time, but we were seated pretty quickly. The ambience was good, but the table that we were seated on was a little sticky. The manager was bragging about how good their food was, but I would say it was mediocre at best. We ordered some samosas, chicken saag, butter chicken, naan, and peshwari naan. Food was okay. I did not like the butter chicken. Not sure how that gravy was made. Also, I have had some delicious peshwari naan in other Indian restaurants. The peshwari naan they serve here was something else – I didn't like it. Chicken saag, samosas, and naan were good though. Props to the guy who was clearing up tables. We were amazed to see how he was clearing tons of stuffs at once.
Genuine, delicious well prepared Indian food. I am really happy to find this place. We ordered a vegetarian Palak Paneer which is literally the best I've ever tasted, and the Lamb curry was amazingly tender and flavorful. We shared a garlic naan which was succulent, as was the gulab jamun dessert. Service was wonderful and from the heart. I definitely want to go back!
Very quiet on a Saturday night at dinner time. Service was very good, with our waiter explaining the different dishes and spice levels. We started with a cracker like bread made from lentils with 2 dipping sauces, a spicy (green) and a sweet (red). We shared the lamb curry with basmati rice and a garlic naan. Curry sauce was flavorful but lamb was overcooked. The dish had a few small pieces of carrots and peppers. Garlic naan was enjoyable but basic.
Most Orlando restaurants have the AC on "meat locker"! This was actually too warm for me. Felt like no AC.
We had the worst Indian food in the US. The chicken pakoras are fried with a besan/chicken peas floor coating. The Chicken biryani has absolutely no taste. The chicken curry is made up of tomato puree only. If you have never cooked Indian food, you may prepare better food than this by watching YouTube. Additionally, the prices are too high for this quality food.
First time here. Small diner setting. They were not crowded on a Saturday night which was awesome. Wait staff was very friendly and suggested a few items for me to try. I love Indian food. Portion sizes were smaller than I expected for the price. O-town is all about that bottom line. The rice was excellently prepared. Garlic naan bread came out delicious.
