The food was better than the typical fare available elsewhere, but not all the way authentic. The ingredients used were as advertised (which doesn't really happen everywhere), but the cooking was just about ok. In all fairness, it is really difficult to get authentic flavour of foreign dishes in India.
The restaurant offers both small and large portions of most items, and the server was forthcoming enough to guide us to split the small portion amongst us as there were only two of us. It fitted the other reviews of the portion sizes being large.
We ordered small portions of Plum Chilli crisp potato, Veg Pad Thai noodles and veg pan fried momos. The potatoes were supposed to be sweet and sour, but the flavour was way too mild. Couldn't taste the plum at all. The potatoes were hard rather than crisp. That dish was a disappointment. The Veg Pad Thai noodles had the right kind of noodles and the right flavours, but some ingredients were replaced by a sauce that made them too wet. Could have been better but I have had worse 😊 The veg pan fried momos could have been a real winner. The outer layer was really thin and perfectly crispy, not hard like it is at some other outlets. If only the chef had been a little innovative with the filling instead of overloading it with cabbage. I have recently had momos in Arunachal Pradesh, and the filling makes all the difference. There were two pastes on the tables along with the vinegar that were quiet good. One of the servers shared one was a green chilli paste, but it didn't taste like it. It tasted like a very yummy combination of spring onions with something. Was a good accompaniment.
The ambience was good and well maintained, except for the mosquitoes. They brought out the raquet by the end of our meal, but the experience was spoilt by then. Even the AC was kept off in this high heat of May and was switched on only after we requested.There were no napkins and tissues were provided on request.
The staff was very polite and helpful. One guy in particular was well versed with the dishes and the portion sizes and helped us place the right order. They were much better trained than staff generally is at such places, and were making a real effort.
It was quite an inexpensive place, as the total bill for these three items which were enough for the two of us came to less than ₹700. The best thing was that they did not add a default service charge and we could tip based on the service. I think I would still visit again, with more tempered expectations.
Best to order North East Indian dishes as the chef was from that area and those dishes are likely to be...
