Excellent excellent food and great customer service! First time here and we just had to order a bit of everything to try!
Started with some keema samosas filled with ground lamb, peas and served with 2 different types of dipping sauces - one mint cilantro and the other tamarind. Very tasty and seasoned well.
Our waiter, Mohamed, recommended the loaded fries with butter chicken. Oh my God, decent portion and a meal unto itself. Also very good! We were getting full just from apps at this point.
The rest of the dishes we ordered...
Butter chicken, hands down, the sauce in this dish was the best! Comes with a bowl of plain basmati rice.
Boneless special chicken was seasoned rice in layers over chicken, which everyone enjoyed. Two sauces are served on the side with it, yogurt which was a bit watery with onions in it, and the other more savory peanut flavor was good.
Hyderabadi lamb curry was almost like a slow simmered stew with chunks of tender lamb and onions in what tasted like a tomato based sauce with Indian spices. Comes with a good size bowl of seasoned rice topped with fried shallots.
Paradise chicken chaat was a very flavorful dish of chicken, chickpeas, chutney, tomatoes and chaan in a creamy butter sauce, similar to the one on butter chicken. Delicious! Great on its own or with naan.
Even though we already had more than enough to eat, we also ordered the Garlic Szechuan Fried Rice with Shrimp (NOT anything like Chinese fried rice but still delicious) plus a basket of assorted Naan (all the flavors in the basket were tasty) and an extra order of garlic cheesy Naan. All great with the dishes we ordered.
We also tried a mango lassi and a strawberry lassi, which taste like smoothies, not like Chinese Boba drinks, in case someone thinks they're similar. Both were great finish to an excellent meal!
We left beyond stuffed with lots of leftovers to go home and enjoy it all over again.
Looking at Google maps, this place looks like a chain street eats restaurant. However, this location in Dearborn was awesome and coming back!
Thank you, Mohamed, for the great service and recommendations plus answering our questions!
FYI that for 4 of us today, they automatically charged 18% service charge to the bill. I don't know if this is regularly done or not, but letting others know. I typically would leave a bit more for great service but when charged, I sign it. Total today for our meal $173. Keep in mind, we over ordered but it was worth it! 😋
