Curry night at Spices Island

On this road, there are so many choices for Indian food but with a fusion twist to cater for locals who don’t eat Indian food.

Went here because no one was dining there and the fact that Nepalese momos were on the menu and I LOVE INDIAN FOOD.

The best thing about this place is that there is no 10% service charge.

Here was what I had:
 0 讚好

++++++++++++
Soup:
 0 讚好

The soup was OK, just the usual vegetable soup found in Chinese restaurants.

++++++++++++
Mutter paneer:
 0 讚好

This was the best mutter paneer I have had because the spiciness was just right and there were lots of peas in it and the paneer was nice and soft without that rubbery texture.
++++++++++++
Saffron rice:
 0 讚好

Ordered this because I only eat Basmati rice, which is long, thin fluffy grains of rice.
++++++++++++
Naan:
 0 讚好

A soft naan that was great with the curry.
++++++++++++
Chicken Momo:
 0 讚好

As well as curries, Nepalese momos are delicious. I got hooked on them when I tried them at Nepalese joints on the HK side.
 0 讚好

The sauce is the most important because it really makes it delicious since it has a short fiery kick as well as a really flavourful taste.
++++++++++++
Indian Tea:
 0 讚好

It tasted like Hong Kong style milk tea with Cardamom in it.
++++++++++++

[Review 4996] Another authentic Indian option in Sai Wan Ho @ 咖喱煲 New Curry Pot

Saw this listed on OR which got me interested because the name reminded me of The curry pot in Wanchai which did yummy buffets for lunch but closed down.

Anyway, this joint is located in SaiWanHo so it is a bit far fetched and the MTR is annoying because it takes me twice as long to get to the road level compared to other MTR stations.
Finally made it and the staffs there were pretty friendly.

Had the mushroom korma which was really good and the curry was spiced just right with lots of chunky slices of mushroom in the curry.

They also give you hot water on a cold day which is really thoughtful of them.

Cozy Indian joint in Tai Hang

Discovered this joint randomly on foodpanda and the menu is exactly the same as Haveli.
When I got there, I recognized the guy from Haveli.

The restaurant was small and cozy.
The guy was really helpful when I was ordering because he advised which naan would go best with the curries.

Here was what I had:

+++++++++++
Chicken 65:

Deep fried boneless chicken pieces marinated with ginger, garlic paste, red chilli powder, lemon juice, yoghurt, curry leaves and Indian spices.
The pieces of fried chicken were really good because it was pieces of leg meat and there were so many flavours going on but it was a bit too salty.
+++++++++++
Lamb Bombay curry:

The bombay curry had a sweet taste to begin with and gradually the spiciness came through.
+++++++++++
Calamari Curry:

Fresh Calamari Fish cooked with onion, garlic, ginger paste in home made tomato puree, coconut grated, curry leaves & Indian spices.
I found calamari curry quite sweet and aromatic.
+++++++++++
Chicken Masala:

The masala was very strong and it went nicely with the naan bread.
+++++++++++
Steamed Rice:

Indian steamed basmati rice that was fluffy and fragrant.
+++++++++++
Naan:
 0 讚好

Soft and warm naan.

Unfortunately I was in MK so I had to get dinner there.
I was deciding between this place and Calimex, but I have been to Calimex lots of times so dined here.
It was late that night and there were quite a few customers so the food took a while to come.
I had the mutter paneer which had too much herbs in it and the rice was over priced because they didn't have plain Indian rice so you are forced to order other Indian rices if you appreciated Indian food.
It was honest of them to state that it was Thai rice so people don't get get cheated when they think it is Indian rice.
The food was a bit overpriced for MK because I can get better Indian food in Central.

Been here twice and it is quite entertaining because they are showing bollywood shows on TV.
Previously had the lunch buffet and this time tried the dinner.
There was a dinner set but I preferred choosing the a la carte.

Ordered fried rice, mushrooms and peas rice, lamb kadai and bhindi masala.

[Review 4533] Sunday brunches @ The Great Indian Kebab Factory

Previously went here for Saturday lunch buffet and won a $200 cash voucher so decided to use it on the Sunday brunch which costs $148 per person so I went with a friend.
On Sundays, there are more curries and rice and the range is more authentic but they didn’t have my favorite curd rice and rice pudding.
Anyway, the food was still good especially the plain naan, which was great with, curries and dressings they had.
My favourites were the vegetarian curries, which were flavourful but not spicy.
On Sunday you get free refills for drinks but I didn't know that.
