Chaacha — Restaurant in Aalborg Municipality

We decided to stop by for dinner after work. We were seated immediately and once everyone settled in, orders were taken. Unfortunately they were out of mango Lassi, which points to it being pre-made rather than made fresh. We ordered 3 thalis and one person got a main entree. The food arrived in short time and was delicious. The entree was Mattar paneer which was really good. It wasn't too red, which means they didn't go overboard with tomato paste. It was ordered with rice instead of naan. To my surprise, the entree was given in a plate next to the rice rather that in a serving bowl. This also meant the quantity was less. I had more rice left over bc there wasn't enough curry. While the restaurant has a tandoor oven in plain sight, it was not used. The naan came from the kitchen and it was very hard. It did not look fresh, most likely made earlier and reheated.

It was also disappointing to hear they did not offer chai.

Service was fine except when we were ready to pay. The bill was never provided and eventually we got up and went to the bar to pay. Not sure if that is the norm but the staff never informed us of that. We were basically ignored once we said no to desserts.

I would visit again as the food was good but I would hope they fix the quantity issue when...

Forudbestiller til Aalborg Eat out, 2 pers, 8 retter (som reelt set er 2 serveringer) Vi har bord kl 19.30, alle borde skal have samme menu. Fra vi ankommer og til vi har drikkevarer går der mere end 30 minutter. Der går yderligere 15 min før vores “snacks” kommer. Altså 45 minutter efter bookingen starter. Klokken er næsten 21.00! Altså hallo. Vi bestiller ikke bord, med en forudbestemt menu for at spise aftensmad kl 21. Snacks var smagsløse og kolde. På den indiske restaurant er en af deres snacks en dumpling. (Forkert land) Og den er sprød, og kold. (En dumpling skal være dampet, varm og blød- ikke sprød og kold) Hovedretterne er 3 små skåle, vil vurdere 1-2 deciliter i hver skål. Som skal deles. Et naanbrød til deling. Naanbrødet er sprødt. Som et knækbrød. Altså verdens letteste brød at lave, det er fuldstændig forkert og igen smagsløst. I Indien bruger man brødet til at tage sauce og kød med. Man bruger ikke bestik. Derfor bør et naanbrød være blødt, ellers er det jo umuligt at folde med een hånd og klemme sammen om f.eks et stykke kød. Der mangler en ret; en granatæblesalat. Den kommer tjeneren med efter vi gør opmærksom på det. Fuldstændig rystende dårlig “salat” - frisk tomat i store ulige stykker, rå rødløg i store tern og granatæblekerner. Ikke andet. Altså det er hverken indisk eller tæt på. Mængden af den salat svarede også til en deciliter. Alt er lunkent eller koldt. Risene var ok kogt, eneste ting der var som forventet. Menuen skal slutte af med en cocktail. Vi må kalde tjeneren over og spørge efter den, for klokken er nu 22 og vi har ikke fået den endnu. Hun siger: øh den er vist udsolgt, jeg kommer lige igen. Der går yderligere 15 minutter, restauranten er mere end halv tom. Tjeneren kommer hverken med drinks eller forklaring. Vi tager jakker på, vi gider ikke vente mere. Så kommer tjeneren og spørger om vi ikke vil have vores drinks og vi må bare sige at vi ikke gider bruge mere af vores lørdag aften på at vente. Eneste ting der var autentisk indisk...

This gem of an Indian restaurant is located right in the heart of Aalborg, surrounded by take-away places on all sides. A cozy and authentic restaurant with an intimate atmosphere and a super pleasant atmosphere. Really competent and pleasant service from all the waiters and the owner. The food tastes fantastic, looks inviting, and is not so strong that it becomes difficult to eat if you are not into spicy cuisine. We ordered the wine menu for the food, and the selected wines were really good. I can definitely recommend this restaurant if you want to try something other than traditional...
