Gateway of India
Posted by jeny at 10:49 AM
I've always loved Indian food, so when I saw one at the corner of Legian street, I insisted we should try it, so we went there for a late lunch. The interior was OK, not too fancy. We ordered Navratan biryani 35K, chai tea 12K and nimbu pani 18K. The portion of the biryani was not large but it was quite delicious. The Chai tasted decent, but I especially liked the nimbu pani because it tasted so fresh plus I found hints of spices in it, even though the recipes I got from the internet only listed lemon juice, salt and sugar as nimbu pani ingredients. :)

Indian Tandoor
Posted by jeny at 3:41 PM
Last month I was craving for Indian Cuisine. At first we wanted to go to Haveli at Graha Irama, but a friend pointed out that it has recently closed. So our next choice is Queen of India at Hotel Danau Sunter. On our way to Sunter, we passed several Indian restaurant that looks quite promising, so we changed course and stopped at Indian Tandoor.

Indian Tandoor

The place was simple, but clean with several Indian accessories on the wall and the television was playing an Indian movie channel. It turned out that we're the only Indonesian patrons sitting there. To me, it is a sign of authentic food. So we ordered garlic naan 10.5K, butter naan 9.5K & Mix Vegetable Makhanwala (a combination of vegetables cooked in tomato gravy) 29K, plus a portion of chicken biryani rice 39.5K. The meal turned out in very generous portions, it tasted hot, tasty & spicy. Since I love Indian dishes, to me all of the dishes was very delicious. The service was very friendly, we surely will be back for more.

Taj Mahal
Posted by jeny at 5:58 PM
Last week we passed a place called Taj Mahal at Pasar Baru. Actually I heard that there's an Indian restaurant in this area but not sure if this is the one. From the outside, the place doesn't look inviting (I wasn't even sure whether this is a restaurant or a pub). After confirming with a "tukang parkir" nearby, we entered the building. We were greeted by a shabby air conditioned room full with smoke. We hesitated for a moment but decided to take a seat. There were several occupied tables, but it seems like we're the only Indonesians. The waiter gave us a menu that is a mix of Indian, Pakistan & Arabian food. We ordered a portion of paneer pulao, sweet lassi, masala tea, and 2 pieces of samosa. Overall the meal was delicious and quite authentic, but I'm not sure if we will be back to this place again or not :)

Gambrinus
Posted by jeny at 3:44 PM
On a recommendation of a friend, we visited this place for dinner. At first I'm not really sure about this restaurant, because from outside it said : "Gambrinus : German Pub/Restaurant and Indian Curry Kitchen". I don't understand how can they sell German cuisine along with indian cuisine. But since we're already there, we enter the place. The front section of the place is the bar with billiard table, we continue to walk through the door to inside room. the room surely was a dining room but it was empty, then we thought maybe the indian restaurant was on the second floor, so we headed upstair and found a deserted room. Confused we going downstairs again, and then we saw a waiter and asked him, we were escorted to the back side of the house where there were several wooden table. then he gave us a menu full with a long list of German cuisine & Indian cuisine.

Martabak HAR
Posted by jeny at 6:40 PM
Several month ago I wrote about a pricey sidewalk restaurant served Indian food in Palembang style, one of the reader of this blog suggest me to try "Martabak HAR" located at Hayam Wuruk street. So one night we decided to try it out. We ordered "Martabak HAR Khas Palembang" 9K, "roti cane" 5K and "nasi minyak" 5K and "teh tarik" 4K. They also served "nasi biryani kambing" on weekend. Overall the food was delicious, the martabak is different from "martabak telor" we usually eat it contain eggs only without any minced meat, usually served with curry sauce. and we surely will be back to this place for their martabak, roti cane, roti prata, nasi biryani & kari daal.

Cahaya Baru
Posted by jeny at 10:29 AM
SC & I went to Medan 2 weeks ago, and this is the first place we visit as soon as we landed. Located in the area called "Kampung Keling", this restaurant served quite authentic Indian cuisine in a very reasonable price. We ordered : "pilao rice" (aromatic basmati rice cooked in ghee and cumin seed) 5K, "peas saffron rice" (basmati rice cooked with peas and using saffron) 5K, 2 "paneer pilao rice" (basmati rice cooked with cottage cheese) @10K, fish curry 18K, 2 garlic naan @13K and 1 Dhaal (lentil soup) 8K. All of it were delicious, we hope we can come back again sometime to try their other specialties.

The Banana Leaf Apolo Restaurant
Posted by jeny at 10:32 PM
This place was sitting on the top place of my must must visit & try, we arrived there on one rainy evening, walking passed Tekka Market to Race Course Road, at last we found the banana leaf signboard. The ambience of this place feels like cafeteria, there's a food counter displaying north and south indian dishes, we ordered biryani rice, masala chicken and a basket of papadam, it were so delicious, the spice taste so strong. The unique thing in this place was the meal actually served on a banana leaf, the meal taste even better if you eat it using your hand. and it cost us about $19 for all those marvelous meal, in my opinion it was quite a reasonable price :)

Ganesha ek Sanskriti
Posted by jeny at 1:16 PM
I always crazed about Indian cuisine, so last Sunday we had a grand buffet lunch (60K++) at Ganesha ek Sanskriti. Its a fine dining north Indian cuisine restaurant located at BRI II center park. On weekdays they opened for buffet lunch (11:30 - 15:00) 45K++, and Dinner 18:300 hrs onward. and they opened all day long on weekends.


so we start with Tomato Cream soup the followed by : Rogan Josh (Mouth watering juicy lamb cooked with a delicate blend of mild spices, onion, yoghurt, fresh coriander and simmered in coconut cream), Biryani Rice (Basmati rice cooked in saffron), Aloo Achari (potatoes with pickles flavored), Bhindi Bhujiya, Veg Jaffrezi (mixed vegetables cooked in home ground spices), Paneer Long Latta (cottage cheese roll stuffed with dry fruits, cooked in cashew nut enriched gravy), Naan (Flat Leavened baked bread made in tandoor or clay oven), Masala Dosa (south Indian pancake), Raita, chutneys & pickles, some sweets & dessert like : Gajar Halwa (Carrot and milk pudding), Rasgulla (Paneer balls dipped in sugar syrup), Jalebee & other meal that I didn't know the name *grin* ...for me all the meal tasted delicious, and I can't figured out that some of the meal I had were made from cheese, because it tasted like tofu. I definitely will be BACK :)

Posted by jeny at 11:33 AM
Last monday before nomad, SC & I stopped by Komala's @ sarinah building for dinner. its an indian cuisine restaurants - kind of fast food type :) I always visited this place from time to time because love indian food and i think this place served an original indian cuisine, you can judge by the visitor : most of them was indian people.

That afternoon we ordered Cheese Masala Dosai (cheese dosai filled with mashed potato and vegetables 26.9K) and Paneer Manchurian Rice Plate (Deep fried cottage cheese cooked in manchurian sauce served with garlic fried rice 33.9K). Our order came in a very big portion... the dosai was placed in a tray.. very delicious indeed :) not bad lah... my only comment was the fried rice & paneer were served in styrofoam plate :( but worth to try... btw all the meal here were vegetarian meal.. since it is a south indian meal.
