I
have
been
eating
Indian
food
for
decades
–
both
here
and
in
India
–
so
I
can
be
a
bit
critical
of
generic-type
Indian
food.
Let
me
begin
by
saying
that
that
is
NOT
on
offer
at
Jabeen’s
Cuisine.
[If
this
review
is
tldr
for
you,
here’s
the
short
version:
good
prices,
delicious
food,
courteous
service
(even
on
the
phone!)
and
something
different
from
usual
Indian
restaurant
fare.
Highly
recommended!]
I
ordered
from
there
this
past
weekend,
as
it
was
our
anniversary.
It
was
the
first
time
I
tried
the
place,
so
I
ordered
a
large
variety
of
items.
The
first
thing
I
noticed
was
that
they
had
written
a
cute,
personalized
little
welcome
message
on
the
paper
bags.
The
aroma
was
mouth-watering,
so
we
dug
right
in.
I’ll
start
with
the
appetizers.
I
ordered
the
meat
samosas,
Chicken
65
and
the
fish
pakoras.
The
meat
samosas
were
crisp
flavourful
packets
of
well-spiced
meat
with
a
lovely
thin
pastry.
The
delectable
morsels
of
the
Chicken
65
was
also
a
big
hit
with
just
the
right
amount
of
zing.
I
had
never
had
fish
pakoras
before,
but
I
certainly
will
again!
They
are
firm
chunks
of
fish,
spiced,
battered
and
deep
fried.
Each
one
was
a
joy
to
bite
into.
For
mains,
we
had
the
chicken
tikka
masala,
lamb
korma,
beef
biriyani,
the
assorted
tandoori
platter
and
butter
chicken
(which
they
threw
in
for
free!).
The
chicken
tikka
masala
was
somewhat
different
from
others
I
have
eaten,
but
delicious.
The
lamb
korma
was
also
a
bit
different
–
with
a
darker
luscious
sauce
--
but
we
practically
fought
over
the
remaining
sauce
after
we
had
devoured
the
scrumptious,
tender
pieces
of
lamb.
The
beef
biryani
was
very
flavourful
and
perfectly
cooked.
On
to
the
tandoori
platter.
It’s
a
nice
variety
of
flavours.
The
tasty
chicken
and
beef
kababs
reminded
me
of
shammi
kababs
in
texture.
The
fish,
shrimp
and
lamb
chops
disappeared
in
record
time.
As
for
the
butter
chicken,
well
that’s
another
one
we
fought
over
to
dunk
our
naans
into
the
rich
sauce!
Our
vegetable
accompaniments
consisted
of
salad,
mixed
veggies,
dal
and
channa
masala,
all
four
offering
a
nice
contrast,
with
the
mixed
veggies
perfectly
cooked
to
that
tender-crisp
level.
We
ordered
both
regular
(tandoor)
and
garlic
naan.
Along
with
the
basmati
rice,
they
were
perfect
for
soaking
up
all
the
delicious
gravies
and
sauces.
I
have
to
admit
that
we
ate
the
desserts
–
mango
cake,
pistachio
cake
and
gulab
jamuns
–
another
day.
We
were
just
too
full.
But
not
too
full
to
end
with
the
paan
–
I
haven’t
had
paan
since
I
last
visited
India!
Bottom
line:
DON’T
MISS
OUT
ON
THIS
EXPERIENCE!
