Fabulous...a mum's group night out to see Sex and the City, followed by a sumptuous feast at our local Indian Restaurant! So, was it "all that"?
As far as the movie goes, I have 2 comments...Liza Minnelli and shoes...1 of these things I loved and 1 I hated!
As for the restaurant, the decor is basic, the service good and the food quite nice. We had the non-vegetarian banquet and the one thing I would say is, do not eat anything for at least 24 hours before going if you intend to have the banquet...you will need every spare centimetre of space available to fit it all in. From the entree dishes, the lamb was devine and everything else was quite nice, but please do steal someone else's lamb if you can - they say info is knowledge and, trust me, this knowledge is definitely worth having!!!
All of the main dishes were yummy but the prawns were definitely my favourite. In a comical moment, our whole table started choking, coughing and spluttering during main course...no, we were not being poisoned but the sizzle platter dish was smoking out the whole restaurant and I very nearly had to go outside to avoid dying of smoke inhalation. Thankfully, it disappeared after a few minutes and we all survived the experience.
Most of us finished with some Kulfi for dessert and that was definitely an underwhelming experience. The Kulfi was too creamy, a bit flavourless and presented most unappealingly. Not a great way to end the meal but the rest of it was good enough to keep the rating reasonable!
I would class this restaurant as family-friendly, reasonably priced and great for a casual night out. It is BYO with minimal corkage charged so that is definitely appealing too.
Overall, Moo Moo would rate this restaurant 6.5 out of 10 as far as Indian restaurants go. I would definitely eat there again but wouldn't necessarily make it a firm favourite.
One final thing to note if you look this restaurant up on-line as I did, is that you will find the address and suburb completely wrong on most listings. It is in the Beaumaris Concourse, Beaumaris not Beaumaris Parade, Highett!
