Out of India Shida Branch — Restaurant in Da'an District

Mutton Vindaloo ($380) with Basmati Rice ($40): The flavour it has is considerably unique and of sweeter taste than other equivalents; other than that, there are also some potatoes hidden in the sauce. The mutton cutlets taste quite succulent and eating them with the Basmati rice is definitely a fantastic way to enjoy. The spicy level it has is perfect for my taste buds, which is spicy but not too spicy.

Masala Tea ($80): The masala tea has the perfect taste and I’ve always been fond of the flavour Masala has.

Soan Papdi ($80): It tastes like scattered pieces of candy with instant melt in your month texture and sweet flavour. I originally thought it’s something I hadn’t tried before but I actually did tried a bit which was complimentary a few months ago in another Indian restaurant because at that time I didn’t know the name of that dessert.

This Indian restaurant is located on the second lane behind the NTNU. The most economical and convenient way to come is getting off at MRT Guting exit 3 and walk for 8 minutes.

In conclusion, fairly high prices for NTNU undergraduates, but authentic and delicious dishes in reasonable portions, decent delivery speed, and good service. Overall, it’s a 9.5 out of 10!

FYI, you scan the QR code on a corner of the table to order and the 10% service charge is included in your bill.

I visited this Indian restaurant right at opening time (11:30 AM). We ordered one plate of chicken tandoori and one lunch set with chicken curry.

The chicken tandoori was served very quickly—within about five minutes—which was impressive. However, the lunch set arrived 10–15 minutes later. Because of this delay, the tandoori became slightly cold by the time we were eating, which affected the overall experience.

There was also an issue with the rice included in the lunch set. The restaurant informed us that they were unable to serve rice at that time, and instead offered plain white rice. Since I visited an Indian restaurant, I was hoping to enjoy different kind of rice with the curry. I requested to change the rice to naan, but they said it was not possible. This made the situation feel inconvenient and inflexible.

Although the food itself tasted good, the service flow and handling of menu items could be improved. Coordinating dish timing is important so guests can enjoy their food while it’s hot, and offering more flexible solutions when items are unavailable would create a better dining experience.

Overall, the food was good, but the operational issues were disappointing because it’s just started and the problem occurred right at the start. I hope you guys can prepare better next time. Thank you

The food is clearly not proportioned to be eaten with rotis (the chicken, curd and potato were cut so big it had to be cut into several smaller pieces to be eaten). We only asked for biryani (no other rice), and they brought the rice out last so we had nothing we could eat while the curry and naan got cold. I asked for spicy and one dish mild but I over heard in Chinese that I only wanted medium spicy. When it was delivered I certainly didn't get much spicy. I couldn't help but ask myself if the people working there would feed this food to thier parents. When I asked the staff if he ate the food he said yes. I asked him how he ate it with such big pieces and he said if I didn't want it that way I should have said. Why would I ask for food to be prepared correctly? Shouldn't it be done so from the beginning? I was truly ashamed for that person and food, and it wasn't even my own. I understand Taiwanese don't eat spicy and don't use thier hands to eat, but when someone clearly asks you for spicy and knows what is roti and vindaloo and biryani that you should act accordingly. Your respect for yourself should be derived from somewhere, it's clearly not from your food.
