Imma huge fan of food, and
Heston Blumenthal is my greatest idol. The episode of
Heston's great British food - Indian curry, has intrigued me to try some authentic Indian curry.👍👍👍I searched on openrice under Indian category and in Kowloon area, Salaam Namatse Curry House, came to my interests bcos it has no sad faces (bad reviews).😼
Easy to find, YMT MTR Exit A2, 4streets on the right.
Bf and I arrived at 6:30, first customers of the night. (Dinner hours starts at six)
The interior doesn't exactly shouts india/curry, but it is cozy, and got more seats upstairs.
We chose to sit further away from the front door, cos read some reviews complaining about the air con.
Their menu contains different variety of curry in beef, chicken, lamb, and seafood.
Starters, salad, grill, soup, drinks and desserts. Theres also a few non Indian dishes.
From Heston's TV show, I was looking forward to Vindaloo, Tikka and Papadum. But the staff warned us vindaloo is real hot, and we couldn't take the heat, so we opt out.
Papadum with mint sauce - free
Papadum with mint sauce - Complimentary
Papadum with mint sauce - Complimentary
The indian staff was so attentive and has taken such a good care of us, he starts off by offering us some papdums. I've never had it before, and don't know what should I expect. Mint sauce = mint + yogurt. I know India is a beautiful exotic country and their food is full of spices and flavours. But the papdum and mint sauce is just too salty for me and unexpectingly judging by its colour, the sauce is spicy!!👹
Chicken Tikka $69
Boneless chicken skewers, well marinated chicken cutlets, served on sizzling hot grill.
the meat is very tender, juicy and bouncy.☺️ Staff suggested to eat with salad, there's a chicken tikka salad, but he was too late to tell us. Yet I should have order chicken tikka masala instead, cos I feel the chicken is missing some sauce, also it's the nation dish in UK.
Beef Makhani $75
aka Butter Beef, a mild curry with tomato base, using a sirloin cut
Natural sweetness from caramelized tomato, along with the pleasant tang from the yogurt marinated beef balances out the rich creaminess from the butter and cream. NOMNOMNOM😋
Butter Paratha $15
Huge portion, lovely stretchy and slight crisp texture, it's sweet and buttery. Best to go for a dip in the curry✌️✌️
Garlic Naan $18
Huge again, so fulling, we could barely finish it. It's an extra order, cos there's a lot curry left for dipping. Waited 10mins for it, very fresh, totally worth the calories. Naan drizzled with garlic oil and topped with coriander. For the record, je detest coriander😾, but nvm.
And as I was explaining how naan is made, with arms waving in the air, the staff came over to ask me if I'd like to try to make one in the kitchen.👀 LOL how kind, thanks but no thanks.
It's rare for me to have so much redness on the dinning table.❤️
Tikka is more spicy than Makhani! Bf was burning inside so we must order sth at once.
Mango Lassi $25
This is the solution to cool down and heal the pain.👼
so captivated by the radiant colour, don't know what kind of mango did they used but it's certainly yummy blend with yogurt! 😛
we have no more room for anything else, so we'll have to call this dessert.
Great time, great satisfaction. Surely deserves a thumbs up👍
attentive staffs kept asking us "how's the food? Is it ok?", totally heart warming. its not easily seen in hk service.
We will go again for other kind of curry with lamb and seafood, and definitely Indian milk tea.😁
Laters, baby.
