So I just found my new favorite Indian restaurant, thanks to the bff Sascha. Yes, I think I may like it better than Himalayan Kitchen which is saying a lot since I really do love Himalayan Kitchen. This cozy little restaurant is located on Kapahulu.. kind of hard to find and would of never known it was there if it weren't for Sascha guiding the way. When we got there, there was ample parking and only 2 other people in the restaurant. I guess we came on a slow night (it was a random Thursday evening anyways) but supposedly it's usually more busy.
The menu had a pretty vast amount of items and we had a little difficulty deciding what to order. Then we saw the 2 person menu that comes with 4 choices from the meat/curry section, 2 veggies, bread + rice.. perfect! Got to taste a little bit of everything. Ordered a few curries, some fried tofu thing, mixed veggies, and got 2 types of bread (sorry don't know the names) but everything was absolutely delicious & a bit spicy! The food came on 2 huge platters with everything on... I was amazed at how much food there was. I think my fav would have to be the fish curry and the chicken spinach curry. The lamb curry was also very good.. had a bit of a kick but complimented the chutney that came with it. YUM.. I'm craving Indian food all over again.
You definitely need to try one of their yogurt drinks called sweet lassi. They have 3 different flavors but we both decided to try vanilla. It was lighter than a regular milkshake and tasted exactly like yogurt. Loved it! It especially helps when you're eating spicy food.
Overall the total came out to about $20 something each... pretty good deal for the amount of food we got. I will for sure be back. This is also a perfect place for a catch up sesh with your girlfriends or even a date night with your bf/hubby. I will definitely be bringing Russ here!!
i <3 lassi it was my fav drink growing up.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have dinner date with you guys~ not too many good indian places around here.
Sascha and I were actually saying how we wish you were with us!! Especially since we love different ethnic foods. We decided that India Cafe would our next jkrew meet up.
ReplyDeleteMmmm....I'm craving India Café all over again after reading that. Yes, Chiri, you HAVE to come with us. That 2 person meal would have still been enough with you there.
