Agra Tandoori restaurant is a stylish and contemporary restaurant serving Indian cuisine in an innovative and contemporary way.
Hubby wanted Indian food and while I've never been a giant fan of the cuisine, I agreed. My only knowledge of Indian cuisine was butter chicken and well... lets face it. It's the Indian equivalent of Chinese food being sweet & sour pork. Well... I think he may be on the way to converting me! We started with veggie pakoras and they were piping hot and flavourful without being too much in your face with spices with a nice dipping sauce to go along with it. We then had a couple of share dishes including the chicken vindaloo, the butter chicken (because it was something he knew I'd eat) and the veggie korma, along with rice, spinach naan, garlic naan and pappadums. The veggie korma was soooooo good and incredibly creamy and rich. Over some rice,.. oh my! Yummy indeed! I ate it all up on him! A feast of spices and flavours. No room for dessert, though it was tempting. I did have a Chai tea with my meal as well and it was super rich and again, piping hot. All the food super hot. Not a cold dish amongst them.
A family owned restaurant with mama and papa in the kitchen and the adult children up front. There's a wee one there too that just hangs out and is such a sweet child. Always smiling and greeting people. I walked in and did a last minute take out order a week or two later and they had it ready in about 10 minutes for me... with a nice cold glass of water while I waited. Now, that's not really a major thing, but it's a nice touch for restaurants to do. Simple but acknowledges your presence and that you may be having a long day. The room can feel a little chilly but you know, good company and good food will warm up any environment. We found the prices to be very good for the amount of food we received as well. We've been back with friends and even though one fellow is particular about his food options, he was happy and ate and ate and ate.
Good food. Nice people. Will we be back? Absolutely. Looking forward to more veggie korma!
order: veggie pakoras*butter chicken*curry chicken*eggplant ...bhaltha?
food: i liked everything except the eggplant. it is just not my thing and i really regret spending $10 on it mushy and tomatoey. not necesarily low quality but really low satisfaction on my end
pakoras have a nice chutney and are the mixed veggie kind, not individualy fried veggies, for $5-something i am satisfied
curry is really yummy nice texture long strips of chicken can taste the cilantro and its great, my 3 year old ate some
butter chicken also good long strips and nice texture and taste of sauce. each of the chickens were 12.something
will not order delivery again. they charged $3 even though its close, then asked how much change i want back, so i felt forced to tip. i really dont like tipping for delivery especially when i get charged for it, so i will pick up next time
i was impressed that they came early
didnt try the naan or rice, and thank god as it was already $50
