My friend decided on a lamb curry (lamb vindaloo) and a goan fish curry. Both sounded fine to me. I haven't had any fish curry for quite a while so it was exciting.
We sat around and chitchatting. She told me that the lamb dish was a complicated one that she didn't do it often at home because it requires a lot of spices. Good, it's a special dish. Anticipation building up now.
I noticed that the wait time was pretty long. I think it's almost 20-25 minutes by the time we got our dishes. She ordered a garlic naan that smelled oh so wonderful. I was just satisfied with my white basmati rice. Being gluten free wasn't really fun.
I tried the fish curry that had yellow color on. The taste was pretty mild. Not too spicy and not much fragrant of any particular spice. The lamb curry had a darker color and a more pungent spice which I couldn't placed. The lamb curry looked almost like the Indonesian beef rendang which was a slow cooked beef curry dish. But this Indian lamb curry had a milder taste but pleasantly spicy.
All in all it was a good company and good dishes. Compare to the value of buffet style, the ala carte style didn't have as good value.
