Items Ordered

Vegetable Samosa

Vegetable Samosa

The vegetable samosas were tasty. The filling was mostly potato, with just a couple green peas in each samosa. They were not spicy at all. The appetizer contained two vegetable samosas, and was served with a small dish of a jam.

Chana Masala

Chana Masala

Chana masala is chickpeas in a hot tomato sauce. I got exactly what I expected. Like everything else, it was quite good, but nothing extraordinary.

Lahori Chicken Curry

Lahori Chicken Curry

I find that Indian chicken curry's are always just chicken in a curry sauce. They are often missing any other sort of vegetable. This curry was no exception. It was served with a bowl of white rice on the side. It had a good amount of spice, but wasn't uncomfortably hot.
