Om Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Rockville

So this Indian restaurant is in a little strip mall and I never thought much about going there. I saw it had some good reviews so my wife and my brother decided to go for dinner. It was very nice and clean inside and we were sat immediately on a Saturday night. We were immediately given water, but no one ever asked if we wanted something else to drink. The staff was attentive, I'm sure if we wanted a soda or wine or something, we could have asked; it was just peculiar knowing how much restaurants profit from beverages that they didn't ask if we wanted something. We decided to order three dishes and share them since there were three of us. The Tandoor Platter was $18.95 and it was a combination of lamb, chicken, and shrimp all cooked in the tandoor oven. It was delicious and plenty to eat when sharing. Probably too much to eat for a single person eating. I liked it especially because the chicken was boneless. We also had the Butter Chicken for $13.95. The bowls they serve in look small, but there is plenty in there. This was just what I expected and completely delicious. If I had been alone with this dish and some rice to soak up all the sauce, I would have been in heaven. Third was the Baigan Bhartha, which is tandoori roasted eggplant with tomatoes and onions. Delicious. It is served almost like a paste since the ingredients are roasted and mashed together. We also had an order of the puri bread ($3.45) which was two puffy portions fresh out of the fryer. The meal came with white rice as well and was just delicious. Three plates for three people was just perfect and sharing allowed everyone to enjoy them. I now see why they got high reviews, it was...

Surprise Surprise - a new management and excellent results! Everything I had was tasty and hot; Service - quick and very polite. I was very satisfied. My wife enjoyed the experience too. But she would give "only" four stars. She also usually does not care enough for Indian food. So, four stars from her for Indian food is a very good sign of a very good food!

I started with Mulligatawney Soup - A traditional hearty soup, rich, with subtle tastes, prepared with tiny chicken pieces which added but did not dominate the taste. The taste, in order of significance, was a mixture of spices, chicken, and chickpea flour, and it was delicious!

As an appetizer, my wife had two pieces of Vegetable Somosa - a pastry stuffed with spiced potatoes and peas; I had one piece. Once more, a surprising joy to the palate.

For the entree I had Baigan Bharth a, tandoori roasted eggplant, cooked with Indian spices, tomatoes and onions. It came as if the eggplant was ground tightly together with the other vegetables and spices. Combined with rice that came on a separate plate, it was Yummy. The eggplant was there but did not dominate the taste. Again, it was the balanced combination of tastes that made it so delicious.

I tasted my wife's Tandoori Shrimp, which came on a bed of slightly spiced onions and peppers and I loved it.

For desert we shared the sweet Gulab Jamun which I liked a lot. The Masala tea went perfectly with the Jamun.

I happened to get hungry but this week, so I decided to look for something eat after leaving a Real Estate Office. After being tired of the normal Latin, or Asian cuisine, I wanted something different, so Insettled on Indian cuisine at OM Fine Indian Cusine, and all I can say is “OH MY GOD!!!!” The food was phenominal, and to make things worst, there was so much food I couldn’t eat it all. So I had fine Indian Cusine for Breakfast as well. I happened to go prior to he start of rush hour so I had received service from staff that was beyond my belief. Before I left, I was fortunate enough to meet the owner Louis, and Immediately expressed the details of my joyful experience is it’s his staff, and the flavorful dishes that required a doggy bag. That visit was on this past Tuesday, and Friday night, my tastebuds led away from the normal choices to eat out, and led me back to my new favorite restaurant. Although I tried to order less since I was alone on this occasion, I still left clutching a doggy bag. UNBELIEVABLE! I only leave reviews when I’m blown away by the food, or service of places I dine, but this time I had to share my experience with the world. I can guarantee you that your experience at OM will surely have you returning, and also sharing...
