UPDATE: dropping to one star, my friend who had the lamb korma woke up in the middle of the night with major food poisoning - vomiting, fever, aches and stomach cramping. Timingwise, the symptoms add up to when she ate from India Gate.
We ordered via UberEats. Unfortunately there seems to be something lost in translation with the prawn tikka masala. What I received was an extremely pale pink sauce that tasted more like sweet cream, almost like a coconut curry to be honest. No taste of spices whatsoever, it was just bizarre. Not bad, just bizarre… and definitely not tikka masala. Also, there were only 4 small, curled up prawns in it. That was definitely not worth the upcharge compared to the other tikka masala proteins.
We’ve both had Indian food on four continents, dozens of countries. This was the strangest tikka masala we’ve encountered in our travels.
My friend ordered the lamb korma and she thought it was good, she asked for it mild and it came as so, her only note was that it seemed heavy on the cream. There was a lot of lamb though and it was tender.
We ordered two different types of naan, the garlic and the coconut raisin. My friend said don’t order the coconut raisin for delivery since everything fell off via transit. The garlic naan I got, the dough tasted old. Like stale old, like a stale cracker taste.
We went with this place because they were on UberEats and needed a break from Mexican food while on our trip, but now I’m wishing we went somewhere else.
