Having walked around Aberdeen and its sites all afternoon, we became quite hungry but not knowing the city very well, we approached some locals for advice on a good restaurant. We were fortunate, as Bridge Street was where we ended our tour, the Indian restaurant looked classy but suspiciously empty, being that it was the only open restaurant in the vicinity, being on company expenses, and being hungry, we decided to go in. I am telling you that I do not regret it as the food was wonderful. The proprietor himself explained what was available from the specials menu, and what all the food with weird names tasted like. The restaurant boasts a traditional Charcoal Tandoor (oven) but as it was late and we very hungry we decided forgo this traditional form of cooking. We started with Salmon and Chilli Asparagus and for mains I ordered Chicken in a Coconut Sauce, my companion ordered a spicy Spinach dish, both plates were fantastic and the accompanying Naan bread was as thin as a handkerchief. I accompanied this with an Indian tea my companion an Indian beer.
The restaurant looked clean, but I always judge a place after seeing its toilets and I must admit that I have never seen cleaner one’s, or at least not with so many antibacterial products available for you to use after washing your hands. I was impressed and felt really good eating with my very clean hands.
The food was authentic Indian and the owner was a true host, running around and ensuring that you have all you wish from in the furthest corner of your heart. I spent a very nice evening in this Indian restaurant, listening to French chansons-surprising, but why not? So unless you have something against French chansons, you should spend your money having a great meal here.
