Aloo
Gobi
(SGD
$6.50)
@
Al-Azhar
Restaurant.
.
They've
achieved
some
measure
of
success
against
their
competitors
in
recent
years,
largely
thanks
to
the
improved
quality
of
food
with
consistent
taste.
.
Their
version
of
Aloo
Gobi
has
a
rich
thick
curry
gravy,
with
mild
vegetal
earthy
sweet
spice
flavour,
filled
with
chunky
tender
cauliflower,
potatoes,
and
red
onions,
garnished
with
fresh
coriander.
.

bread
or

Bhindi
Masala
(SGD
$6.80)
@
Al-Azhar
Restaurant.
.
Generous
with
long
slim
lady's
fingers,
tender
juicy
crunchy
texture
with
vegetal
sweet
savoury
spice
flavour.
.
The
thick
tomato-based
curry
gravy
is
mildly
spiced,
easy
to
pick
up
with
bread.
Warm
and
comforting,
like
a
hug.
.
Portion
size
is
slightly
larger
than
elsewhere,
making
this
good
value.

Biryani
(SGD
$9.50)
@
Al-Azhar
Restaurant.
.
They
serve
a
good
North
Indian
dum
style
rendition,
where
the
primary
flavour
comes
from
the
spice-infused
basmati
rice.
.
Slow
cooked
in
a
sealed
pot
for
hours,
the
complex
layering
of
spices,
including
cardamom
and
turmeric,
infuse
the
rice,
resulting
in
fragrant
sweet
grainy
spice
savoury
flavour.
.
The
fish
version
has
boneless
chunks
of
basa
fish
buried
within,
flaky
and
tender
with
a
sharp
spicy
salty
sweet
kick
from
the
curry
gravy.
.
The
mutton
version
has
bone-in
chunks
of
mutton
buried
within,
chewy
and
tender
with
robust
meaty
savoury
salty
spice
flavour
from
the
curry
gravy.
.
Both
served
with
a
bouncy
hard
boiled
egg
with
eggy
sweet
notes,
and
a
creamy
raita
yoghurt
with
crunchy
cucumber
and
carrots
with
milky
vegetal
sweet
flavour.
Large
enough
for
2
persons.

Butter
Chicken
(SGD
$9.50)
@
Al-Azhar
Restaurant.
.
Marinated,
roasted,
then
stewed
to
finish
in
the
curry,
the
large
pieces
of
boneless
chicken
chunks
are
so
tender,
with
a
satisfying
light
chew
and
smoky
sweet
savoury
salty
spice
flavour.
.
The
curry
gravy
is
creamy
and
smooth,
the
blend
of
tomato
puree,
yoghurt,
butter,
and
spices
(including
fenugreek
seeds
and
powdered
coriander)
lending
bold
vegetal
sweet
savoury
milky
spice
notes.
.
Tasty
enough
to
make
you
reach
for
more.

Chapati
(SGD
$1.50)
@
Al-Azhar
Restaurant.
.
Pretty
straightforward
rendition,
slightly
fluffy
with
a
chewy
texture
that
tears
nicely
with
some
effort.
.
Has
a
grainy
bready
savoury
sweet
flavour,
slight
hint
of
wheat
on
the
aroma.
Nicely
warm.
