Potato and Pea Samosa with Coriander-Lime Cream – $5.50

Potato and Pea Samosa with Coriander-Lime Cream – $5.50

The portion is great, the flavor is present, and it’s at a decent price! It has a great spice profile we would expect from India. It’s slightly mushy but that was expected. The crust is not as crispy as we’d like but we enjoyed it and would get it again.

Chicken Tikka Masala with Fennel-Spiced Yogurt and Naan Bread – $6.25

Absolutely delicious. Great portion size and the perfect chicken tikka masala. The flavor is exactly what you would expect. The bread is toasted well and you get the perfect crunch. The spices are not overwhelming but we really loved this.

Mango Lassi (Non-Alcoholic) – $5.00

Mango Lassi (Non-Alcoholic) – $5.00

This version has more of the mango flavor for sure out of the two. It’s a better flavor but we prefer the liquor. Both drinks are the same, just one has liquor. It almost tastes like eggnog with a hint of chai.

United Brewing Taj Mahal Premium Lager, Bengaluru (4.5% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.

From Total Wine: “This is pale yellow in color with subtle malt aromas. The spicy hops are much more evident on the palate. Light and crisp, this has long been the beer of choice to pair with Indian cuisine.”

Sula Brut Tropicale Sparkling Wine, Nashik ($21/bottle) – $7.50

Sula Vineyards describes this as “The happiest sparkling wine! Brut Tropicale is an elegant sparkling rosé wine, full of tropical notes such as its charming passion fruit aromas.” It has “aromas of peach and passion fruit with hints of guava at the finish.”

Mango Lassi with Sōmrus Chai Cream Liqueur ($27/bottle) – $11.50

Mango Lassi with Sōmrus Chai Cream Liqueur ($27/bottle) – $11.50

This is essentially chai custard in a glass. The flavor is good, but it’s way too hot for this. The alcohol is there but just barely.
