A new Indian restaurant is always an exciting thing. We recently visited Flavors of India in Essex Junction for the first time. It's right across the street from the railroad station, a location with good visibility but I wonder how many people are actually stopping in. We met friends there at 6 on a Friday and we were the only customers.
The offerings are standard (for the US) Indian fare. We ordered a fairly typical assortment to share: naan, chicken tikka masala, lamb mango, saag paneer, vegetable biryani. Interestingly, nearly everything on the printed menu lists cashews among the ingredients - a no-no given my allergies. Fortunately, they were able to make adjustments. The same is not true for the online menu. I wonder if that's intentional or if they're even aware of the discrepancy. It's BYOB so we brought our own beer and cider. The kid had hot tea.
Food, service and decor were all fine. We'll definitely be back. It may, in fact, be our closest India place so it could be a reasonable takeout choice, too. I do worry about the lack of customers. I hope they survive a while.
With no Indian restaurants around here, last night I fixed Chicken Shawarma
ReplyDeleteNo Indian restaurants... that would be hard for us. Indian food was my wife's biggest craving while pregnant. We still love it.
