Recently I have been going to The Grandstand and I always noticed a crowd at the Indian restaurant, Curry Garden. In one of my recent visit, I decided to check it out since the restaurant always has a constant flow of customers. Actually I was quite lost in what to order so I just went to the set menu section and ordered from there.
Mango Lassi 4/5
While waiting for my meal, I ordered a Mango Lassi to start with. Lassi is a traditional yogurt based drink originating from India. The mango lassi blended with yogurt, water and mango pulp was cooling, soothing and perfect compliment for the spicy food.
Garlic Naan Chicken Set 3.8/5
The Garlic Naan Chicken Set ($7.50) comes with 2 pieces of garlic naan cut into 4 pieces, curry and with a choice of butter chicken or chicken tikka. I went for the chicken tikka but I order another serving of mutton masala. I can't resist ordering the mutton masala after noticing the next table having it. The chicken tikka was too dry to go with the naan, mutton masala is better option. I also did not like the curry as it was served cold.
Batura Set Chicken 3.8/5
My partner ordered the Batura Chicken Set ($6) with butter chicken. We did not know what is a batura and we were surprised to see the huge puffed bread made from maida flour when it was served. We are also surprised that the butter chicken did not have gravy, we thought they have served us chicken tikka instead.
I noticed quite a few patrons ordered their curry fish head, I should try to have them in my next visit. The naan is pretty good too but I will prefer the mutton masala to the chicken tikka or butter chicken.
