I saw a Groupon for nearly 50% off at this restaurant, and with the good reviews, I thought I’d try it out. It’s a medium sized restaurant which is decorated very nicely with lanterns, lit candles and drapery to cover those ugly ceilings that we see in a lot of the places here with pipes and unfinished look. The colours matched, and it was a warm soothing atmosphere.
There were only 2 tables occupied when we arrived around 6:30pm on a Wednesday, but it quickly because full-house on top of several take-out orders.
Our server was very polite and thoughtful despite the busy restaurant.
We ordered a entree each which came with a rice, salad and naan. I thought it was a great deal since most other Indian places I’ve been to at this level has always had the curry a la carte, making your bill add up quickly. Presentation was beautiful and appetizing, and the immediate smell of curry aroma made me salivate.
Don’t be surprised by the half empty dish! The curry is coming right away!
Malabari Chicken $15.95 was mild curry cooked in coconut cream, onions and a touch of ginger with garlic & mild spices. The chicken was cooked to perfection. Just melted in your mouth. Sooooooo good! The cilantro on both curry was a nice touch.
I had read that Jolly’s Butter Chicken $15.95 with boneless chicken with yogurt & tandoori masala, roasted and combined with light cream sauce tasted different from the usual butter chicken. Indeed it had some ingredient that I couldn’t figure out, but it tasted really good. I immediately fell in love with it. I always try other curry since I always tend to go for butter chicken, but this time, I’m glad we did!
Both curry went really well with our saffron rice. The naan was a bit burnt, but the strong garlic flavour complimented the curry sauce.
I was really happy that I came across this restaurant. Thanks Groupon – yes it does work as advertisement! I’m now a new happy customer. Would love to come back for more – especially for the butter chicken! Great find!
