The first time I had Indian food was at @tastyindian with my friend. He ordered all the renowned traditional Indian food to ensure I get a full on experience and made sure that I understood fully that “butter chicken” isn’t part of the national dish (he at least said it 3 times and compared it with the Chinese orange chicken from Panda Express lol). It was really good but unfortunately, I wasn’t used to the herbs and all my internal organs were like on fire. So I haven’t had Indian food since 🥺🥺 But my friend assured me that Vij’s is a more toned down version with a fusion twist. We ordered the “Thali” at Vij’s which we get to choose four dishes from the entire menu. My friend and I strategically ordered two Thali trays and had 7 different dishes to sample with. Other than the goat, everything was really impressive. My favourite was the lamb in cumin coconut curry (which we made sure to order one from each tray - wise decision) and the beef in Bengali style creamy curry. They also offer chai tea as a complimentary to everyone at the table. My friend decided to be adventurous and ordered the “nice guy chai” cocktail which he praised highly of.
Overall, it was a very fun experience. Thank you @eatdrinkvijs for the wonderful meal with the lovely fusion twist, and making it possible for me to enjoy it fully without any agony 🤣
If you had never tried Indian food, start with Vij's. It's the best place as an introductory for beginners.
