Only a few minutes walk from Euston station, this restaurant has a very different vibe to the gaudy establishments of Kings Cross further down the road. The word here is subtle.
Starters:
After a cold Cobra beer, that cost the usual London price of a speed boat I enjoyed some fresh Papadums. The Pickle tray was up to standard.I was dining alone tonight after a gig so I skipped over the Bhajis unfortunately.
The mains:
I ordered a lamb Saag here. The meat was decent but the subtle philosophy of the chef came into play here. I apparently had ordered from the child's menu as the portions were tiny; there only seemed to be one spinach leaf on the whole dish as well!
I often order dishes to be made spicier than usual and I got no result here as the whole dish was quite bland.
A slightly dry tiny garlic Naan was also enjoyed...
You are greeted by a friendly waiter and seated promptly.
No 'Easy now Bud' antics here or wise cracks!
Starters:
Run of the mill Papadums and pickle tray.
4 out of 6 for the Bhajis.
Mains:
I enjoyed a delicious Chicken Malabar here! Tender, with great flavors.
A slightly smaller Naan than usual came with the meal. Good old fashioned rice.
The Verdict:
This is a shorter review than usual as I was in a rush to get to a rehearsal and not enjoying a night on the town! Overall, a good experience though with a good main course.
There is a small settlement of Indian restaurants opposite Kings Cross station. They lurk in the shadows, ready to pounce on the unsuspecting commuter and junkie! Another garish affair! Fun for all the family...
Starters:
Below par Papadums and Bhajis are on offer for the price of a Skoda.
Mains:
The Lamb Saag arrived, swimming in a moat of grease. It had just flown back from vacation, and had obviously been enjoying itself lounging by the pool as it had really become extremely fatty!!!
The Naan had also been exposed to the sun on its vacation in Ibiza as it was extremely dry!
The usual glitz and glamour of kings Cross awaits you inside...
There are 3 Indian restaurants in a row here, so you get harassed outside by the waiters trying to lure you in; similar to Brick lane.
Starters :
Papadums are fresh and crispy. That's the positive part of the review over.
Cold Bhajis and vegetable Samosas, that taste more like Mash get Smash can be enjoyed here!
Mains :
I couldn't tell the difference between Chicken and Lamb. Both dishes were so bland... stale and chewy meat on both dishes. Better curries are made in McDonalds!
The hand dryers here were so low, I imagine they were for drying your privates, not hands!
