Togo India — Restaurant in Louisville

I gave 5 stars to service because I got my food from Uber eats, it was made fast, arrived fast, and was piping hot still. They used great containers so service was great. Although no utinsels were given I had a plastic fork at work. 5 stars for atmosphere because I had it delivered there would be reason to give a lower score. As for the food it was the worst Indian I've had in Louisville, and I've eaten at most all of them over the years. Without posting names of competition the Indian restaurant on north Hurstbourne is the best for reference. Food was hot, but flavor was subpar. It taste edible but not good. The Chicken Tikka masala was so coconut flavored it was like a candy, and I ordered the 2 highest spice level and it wasn't spicy at all. Having never ordered here I know from the past that spice can elevate bad foods flavor where mild can expose the badness of it. The Chicken was good and as expected. The goat curry was also not good bland and not spicy. I have also ordered it very spicy. The Goat was great and soft just unflaverful. The garlic naan bread was browned on the bottom but still seamed a little raw, it wasn't but very soft and thick like a thick pancake. The flavor was very garlicy since the garlic on top was still raw which may not of been that bad if the bread was cooked more. This reminded me of Mexican cooks hired to cook Chinese food at the Chinese buffet! They're not as good as a Chinese restaurant with Chinese cook having been handed down how to cook from generations of people doing it to the best of their ability. This is a thing my best friend wouldn't tell me the secret of his family's restaurants fried rice for 10 years because like he said it's a family secret and what are you going to do with the info after you get it? You have no restaurant stove and wok, and can't do it the same at home anyways! This was a very true statement, but he did finally tell me; But back to the review. If desperate for Indian food, and this is the only place open get Indian food another day and pick something else! If you can't do the staples well the odds of anything else being good...

Found this place by accident as Dakshin closed early and man am I glad for that. A sign of a good Indian restaurant is their biriyani and the biriyani here is one of the best if not the best I have had in Louisville. The chili momo was amazing and got the dry lamb dish to go which I couldn't stop eating later in the evening. Small place inside a grocery store run by Vinod the chef and his assistant. Also had the mango Lassi and my friend had the samosas and everything was delicious. The menu is a bit smaller than other Indian restaurants but the taste of the dishes more than made up for that. Plus the prices are about 10% less than other places....

Ordered through door dash so it was quite pricey but well worth it. This was my first Indian food experience. I ordered the Chicken Coconut (medium spice) and Garlic Naan. Rice was cooked to perfection, Chicken Coconut (madras style) sauce was rich, creamy, well spiced/seasoned, Chicken was well cooked and in nice sized pieces, Garlic Naan was so yummy! Very pleasant first experience with Indian food. Quite delicious! I’m sure my choices would be considered safe as a first venture into Indian cuisine but I highly recommend it. The medium spice level could have been slightly spicier for my pallet but was afraid the hot spice level would...
