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...

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...

Though I love this place and have been here many times, and all our food and masala tea was great, I had serious problems with the service the last time I went, enough to motivate me to post this review.

They interrupted us many many times with small, unimportant questions that were unnecessary, usually confirming things we had already said. I believe this happened five or six times.

They took our extra chair and made us put our bags on the floor, only to give the chair to another party with two extra chairs so they could put their bags on our chair and their extras. Again, not a huge deal but just felt weird and rude.

They forgot several items multiple times, including much of our order for over an hour. I realize they were busy but since our order was made digitally with the qr code menu, there's no excuse for this or #1.

Overall, I would return to the other location of this restaurant, but for such a high price the service we received was embarrassingly bad, and I'll never return to...
