Jolly’s Indian

Click to add a blog post for Jolly's Indian Bistro on Zomato 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.

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.

idearabbit-jollyindian5I 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! :D Great find!
