India's Restaurant does not have the expected decor; rather, it surprises guests with its 70's-style mirrors and drab pastel pink tablecloths. The crowd was scarce when we arrived, making us slightly uneasy about our visit. However, when the generous serving of pappadoms was served, we immediately forgot about the lackluster atmosphere. The service was prompt, possibly due to the fact that few people were there, and the warm hand towels after the meal were a nice touch. Overall, the food triumphed over the mediocre interior and made our visit satisfying. We ate way too much but we only have ourselves to blame.
 |
| Pappadoms The peppery pappadoms came with a delicious tangy mint sauce and a thin sweet dipping sauce. This complimentary appetizer kicked off our meal nicely. |
 |
| Lamb Samosas We couldn't go to Indian restaurant without trying its samosas. The lamb filling was wonderful and not too dry. The pastry was buttery and gave a nice crunchy balance to the overall texture. |
 |
| Chicken Vindaloo The vindaloo came with chicken bathed in spicy, mouth-watering sauce that really defined this delectable dish. |
 |
| Peas Pilau This side dish of basmati rice, peas, almonds, and raisins was pretty standard. Nothing special. |
 |
| Keema This heavy, meaty dish was pleasantly not spicy; after all that vindaloo, you'll be thankful for a non-spicy dish. The taste was an ambrosial meat extravaganza in your mouth. Caution: this dish WILL fill you up with its high density. |
 |
| Naan The shredded carrots and garlic toppings sent this bread dish into our top favorites. It's very easy to get full from eating this soft, salty, crispy treat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Service (20%): warm hand towels 85 Atmosphere (20%): drab 70s decor 35 Value (20%): typical pricing 60 Food (40%): Great variety, few issues 83 Overall: Great food, poor atmosphere 69 |
