This restaurant has a high rating so we had corresponding expectation when we waited in the long line. It turned out to be not so outstanding so we are quite disappointed.

Don't get me wrong, the food is not so bad. However, being acceptable does not mean it's good.

We ordered a grilled chicken and a mutton, and two lassi with different flavours. The yogurt drinks were good, and at good price.

The soup curry itself is where I think there should be improvement. The lamb meat is quite overcooked and tough, without much taste characteristic of the meat, not to mention a good one. The chicken is more tender and juicy but lacking qualities of a good chicken meat.

The carrot and the potato chunk in the soup is quite large in size. Not only is it too much for a bite but the flavour of the soup curry could penetrate only a tiny proportion of the mass, leaving the veggies a bit like an after thought to the dish. The same did not happen to the thinly cut and skilfully roasted pumpkin, which taste deliciously coupled with the soup flavours.

My main criticism is in the curry itself though. As a soup it lacks enough savoury, while as a curry, it lacks the finesse of an artful blend of the spices. The effect to me was a bland and oily mixture of a few ingredients which tastes had yet to find ways to work together.

I certainly hope the people who are responsible for the restaurant improve on their specialty dish, but I wish more that the people who give ratings and reviews to restaurants would be more independent and discerning.
