When you see a restaurant gets over 5K+ reviews with 4.8 ratings, there is no way to doubt their credibility. I am a frequent visitor of St. George area, and in recent past I have tried this place multiple times. Their grand restaurant with beautiful decorations inside amazed me. But to my surprise, each time me and my family were disappointed by the taste of the food. I am not questioning the quality or the quantity of the food - rather their foods are just tasteless.
The prime factor for any food considered to be good is its taste and somehow we felt that none of their dishes taste that good. We are Biriyani lovers, the very first time we were here, we didn’t even looked at the menu and ordered just Biriyanis. It was not good at all. It has everything, the meat, the rice, spices, cashews and rasins but was missing something. We may call it a pulao but not Biriyani. We know Biriyani can be cooked in many different ways and in a vast country like India, every parts of it has its own unique style of cooking. But this was not about style, rather taste. Instead of doubting their credibility, we thought may be Biriyanis are not their specialty, so we decided to try something else in our next visit. After all so many people who have rated this place so good, cannot be wrong.
In our next visit, we skipped Biriyanis and with much expectation we sticked to curry items only. But, again we were disappointed. Tried one chicken and one lamb curry, both were very creamy. It seems they are using boiled chicken instead if making tikkas. Cashews and rasins cannot be part of everything. We tried their tandoors and samosas as well, but to be honest, didn’t like either one of it. Tandoor was cooked with onions and peppers and was almost turned into a gravy item. Frozen samosas tastes better than this place.
Not sure, whether I completely avoid this place or may try few other items from their fancy menu in my next visit, to figure out how they are so highly rated. There are plenty of other great Indian restaurants available in Utah who offer much better food, which tatse really good and the prices are...
Read moreRed Fort Cuisine came highly recommended by both locals and tourists, so I've had it on my list to try for a while. I finally got the opportunity to give this touted establishment a try.
Our group of 10 was seated immediately, which was mind-blowing considering it was a busy Friday night during peak dining hours. We ordered various spice levels of the Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Chicken Coconut Kurma, Chicken Tandoori, and Lamb Saag, along with butter and garlic naan. The butter chicken was my favorite, and the Tikka Masala was my least favorite. Between the naans, the garlic was the way to go. I didn't notice a dramatic difference between the mild and medium spice levels, so if you like spice, go hot.
The service was phenomenal from start to finish. From getting us seated quickly to taking our order and taking care of a big party, they provided excellent service. Drinks were kept full, and everyone was extremely helpful. The interior is very cool. There's not a bad seat in the place, and it's got a great vibe.
It may have been a consequence of overhype, but I wasn't overly impressed with the food or the prices. I thought it was average Indian food, but my entire party loved it. This was a first experience for many, so I concluded that this is the perfect place for people who have never eaten Indian food or who have been anxious to try it. Overall, I thought it was too expensive for what it is, and it's fine, but it's not a place I'm rushing back for. But it's a place you can count on great service and a fun...
Read moreTried this place for the first but it had been one list of Indian food restaurants to try!
Ok. Let me just say if you're gonna leave a review... we REALLYWAMT TO KNOW WHAT FOOD YOU ORDERED! Not if the decor is nice amd ceilings are high. We don't care.
So food! We live good Indian food and this is also very good Indian food.
The Naan bread is great. Cooked in their tandoori ovens. Love it.
We ordered butter chicken and coconut goat kurma.
The butter chicken is amazing. We find that out of 4 different Indian restaurants all bitter chickens are different but equally good. So get it if you like butter chicken.
We didn't care for the goat as recommend from other reviews. The sauce was amazing but im really wishing we got the fish instead. The goat was a bit gamey and felt slightly over cooked. Not as tender as it should have been. Here is what I recommend. ORDER THE KIND OF MEAT YOU LIKE TO EAT! do not get goat if you don't like game meat. Don't get fish if you don't eat seafood. That's my2 cents.
We did speak to the owner for a bit after and after we chatted he said the mango chicken is just like Raj chicken at Bombay house (owned by his brother!) If you haven't been to Bombay house I recommend it! And Raj chicken! It's my favorite. So try then go chicken here. I'm sure it's amazing.
And that's all I have to...
