Indian Grill N Curry — Restaurant in Maui

Indian cuisine has always intrigued me, and it's something I rarely get, so I was happy to find out that there is actually an Indian restaurant right in my hometown. I ordered the palak paneer, my partner had their butter chicken, and we both shared a basket of garlic naan. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed by the flavor of the palak gravy/curry. It was quite bland on its own with the rice, until eaten with the garlic naan (which was delicious and seasoned well). From what Ive learned, most palak paneer recipes use tomatoes to add acidity and sweetness. However, this palak gravy was screaming for more depth of flavor, such as sweetness and acid. In addition, the gravy could have been more fragrant; stronger with its spices/seasonings overall. Heat wise, I ordered a medium spice level, which was perfect, but the gravy's actual aroma and flavor was not quite there. Texturally though, the gravy was smooth and creamy, which was great, and ultimately I still ate it all. My partner's butter chicken was amazing too; creamy & rich, savory, and fragrant from the spices. Butter chicken is a must have when going to an Indian restaurant. The rice was also cooked well. But while my palak paneer was underwhelming, I'd still love to come back and try other things! Especially since the service and atmosphere was all fine. I hope I can make a 5 star review from...

Someone just post this it's not good to remove your own frustration on someone else's

The food was not worth the high prices. The Gobi Manchurian lacked sauce and flavor. The Malai Kofta was disappointing—just gravy with the kofta, not even sautéed. The Paneer Curry had only 3-4 pieces of paneer, with mostly vegetables. The roti had an unusual taste, definitely not whole wheat, and the samosa was inedible. Save your money and avoid this place!

“Funny how you didn’t think the food was worth the price, yet it seems like you’ve already spent time writing a lengthy complaint. I think they believe in the quality of our dishes and stand by the value we provide. Maybe next time, you’ll find the flavors worth the cost!”

"Thanks for your feedback, though it seems more like a personal rant than an honest review. Their dishes are made with quality ingredients and authentic recipes that many customers rave about. If you didn’t enjoy the flavors, maybe it’s a matter of personal taste, but there confident others would disagree with your experience. As for the price, they believe in the value we offer – great food, great service, and a great experience. Perhaps next time, try something else on the menu. Everyone’s tastes are different!" Please respect everyone's time and their...

Glad to see IGnC as another Lahaina phoenix. They have room to spread out in their new location with a well appointed dining hall across from Foodland. The place was clean, the person running the floor was polite and helpful. I ordered Garlic Naan, Mango Lassi, Dal Makhani, and Tandoori Chicken. The spice levels available are wide ranging; from mild to extra spicy. I informed the kind gentleman that I wanted the spice level to make me cry, he said, “oh, you want Indian Spicy, no problem’. Adding heat to something is easy. Adding heat to Dal without overpowering the delicately layered flavors can be a real challenge. They really delivered! The buttery richness, the smoky texture, the Indian umami (whatever that is) was all there - with an equally layered initial punch of spice, followed with a slow and building heat, that culminated in a fiery finish. Perfectly executed. The Tandoori Chicken is a traditional finish, not the bright red British kind. Marinade is excellent, charring and finish from the tandoor is perfect! Naan and Lasi were ideal companions...
