Lamb Roganjosh @Host Fine Indian Cuisine |
We were served a papad roll while waiting for our order to
arrive. Service was excellent. After our appetizer plates were taken away, a
couple of servers came to provide us with warm plates which they placed on the
table using linen napkins instead of bare hands. Then, the dishes were served,
again, by a couple of servers so that it all came at once.

We figured we would stick to more well-known, traditional dishes. We got the Tandoori Chicken which was a half chicken, bone-in, marinated in yogurt and tandoori sauce and roasted in a clay oven. It was
flavourful but was a bit on the dry side.

We also ordered the Lamb Roganjosh which was boneless and
slow cooked with yogurt and traitional warm spices.
While the Roganjosh was good, the hands-down winner for the
fam was their special Butter Chicken. It was less creamy and spicy compared to
the regular Butter Chicken we are familiar with. It was hearty, with the right
balance of sweet and spicy and curry.

We didn’t get basmati rice but we did get an order each of Roti (Tandoori baked wheat bread) which
was perfect for picking up the meat and wiping out the sauce from our plates.

Our mango lassi was also perfect, cutting through the strong
flavours of the Roganjosh and Butter Chicken. A couple of sips in between the
dishes got our tongues ready to take some more of the spice. What a delightful
counterplay.

For dessert, we had the traditional Gulab Jamun which are spongy
milky balls soaked in rose scented syrup. It was soft and just had the right
amount of sweetness.

We also had Kheer which is a rice pudding topped with
pistachios. It was very refreshing and a perfect palate cleanser.

Happy to say that the girls thoroughly enjoyed this Indian
meal. DD#2 has ranked it high up there along with her favourite--Korean. We
will venture out on buffet next time to try more of this amazing cuisine.
