I found out about a new Indian restaurant and immediately went to give it a try. I had seen the menu online before, which filled me with anticipation. The restaurant has an elegant ambiance with soft lighting, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. It overlooks Victoria Harbour, and the vibe should be even better at night. This time, I came for lunch. 😍
Truffle Mushroom Soup en Croute This truffle mushroom soup paired with crispy Papadam is bursting with aroma. The soup base is rich, and the freshness of the mushrooms blends perfectly with the unique fragrance of the truffles, enveloping the soup and making each spoonful a delightful surprise. The Papadam is crispy on the outside, and you can refill it after finishing.
Dum Murg Biryani 2.0 This chicken biryani is definitely the restaurant's signature dish. The rice grains are distinct, and the spice blend is just right. The chicken is slow-cooked to tenderness and juiciness, fully combining with the fragrant rice, leaving a lasting impression. Each bite feels like a taste of India.
Lamb Rogan Josh This is the dish I was looking forward to the most. The lamb is meticulously braised; the meat is tender, and the sauce is rich, with a hint of spiciness and aromatic spices. Paired with a bowl of rice, this perfect combination is hard to resist.
Truffle Cheese Naan This truffle cheese naan is my top choice for pairing. The outer layer is crispy while the inside is soft, filled with rich cheese and a subtle hint of truffle aroma—absolutely irresistible. It pairs well with soup or curry, making you want to have bite after bite.
Mango Lassi I ordered a mango lassi as a post-meal drink. It's refreshing and delicious, sweet without being overwhelming. The rich mango flavor instantly brings the feeling of summer, perfectly concluding the meal.
There are very few Indian restaurants in Hong Kong that offer dishes that are visually appealing, aromatic, and full of flavor, all while being creative. Each dish allowed me to experience the charm of Indian cuisine, and the environment was very clean. The staff was also attentive and helpful, definitely...
Read moreI came here with a group of fourteen and have a friend who has severe allergies to peanuts and lentils. We clearly informed the staff that these allergies were present for him, and they ensured that the Chicken Dim Biriyani would be okay. This item was supposed to NOT include peanuts and lentils.
Within ten minutes of ingesting, he had a severe allergic reaction to the food, needing to throw up and call an ambulance. The staff then admitted that there was cross contamination in the food eaten. While the person was undergoing symptoms like closing up of the throat and dizziness, the staff initially refused to send a list of ingredients to the emergency responders.
Lastly, the total bill was only comped for the dish that caused his reaction. This was around HKD$228. However, there was a service charge of HKD$308 on top of our bill, which doesn’t really make sense.
On a separate note, we were HKD$210 for some Belu filtered water? Which was continuously being refilled without knowing the total cost. The water was also very...
Read moreTagline is a good Indian restaurant on 4/F of the 10 Prat building on Prat Street in TST. Menu features a fairly typical range of Indian cuisine with plenty of veg-only options. Note that Tagline also has a separate brand and menu called Cal-Fit which is more generic and western style vegetarian and healthy food options. You will find those dishes after the Indian cuisine section of the menu.
We had a quick but quality lunch here recently. Paneer bao starter was nice, garlic naan perfect the the Tofu Kodai was a delicious curry, could have used a bit more chili to spice up the curry but the flavour was nice, worked well with the firm tofu. Would gladly reorder and will be eager to try different curries on offer next time around.
In the end, there are some very good Indian restaurants in the TST area. Tagline is one of them, worth a try if you fancy a curry while spending time in...
