Moghal tandoori (INDIAN) ★★★★

I have been to two other Indian restaurants (Asha and Punjab Palace) on this journey and I decided to try another one. The place was beautifully decorated with tons of art and decoration all throughout. Along the windows were beautifully crafted metal and wool chains. All in all, the atmosphere of the place was really beautiful. It was a great restaurant.

MENU

Moghal Tandooris menu was incredibly diverse. They have plenty of different appetizer options, like Onion Bahji and veggie parkora. Different types of tandoori meals and specialties such as butter chicken, chicken curry, mango chicken, etc. Finally, they have vegetarian options and Table d'Hote.

APPETIZERS ONION BAHJI AND VEGGIE PARKORA

Onion Bahji is something I have learned to love by going to these different restaurants. The outside was golden brown, crunchy, flaky and very buttery. On the inside, the onion had a strong flavor and it was very soft and slightly creamy. The first dipping sauce was a very spicy yet creamy sauce that went very well and enhanced the flavor of the onion bhaji and veggie pakora. The second sauce was brown, sweet and was a lot thinner.

The second appetizer we got was the Veggie pakora. It is very similar to the Onion Bahji but with a milder flavor. It had the same buttery and flaky crust but the flavoring on the inside was not the same. Therefore it goes a lot better with the sauces. This gives you the chance to taste the sauces in a new way without their flavors being masked by the flavors of to the Onion Bahji.

CHICKEN CURRY

We ordered the chicken curry and the mango chicken. One of my favorite parts about this dish is that the meat itself was super tender and juicy and fell apart in your mouth. The sauce was both creamy and still thin and all in all enhanced the juiciness and tenderness of the chicken. I really loved the way all the flavors ( sweet , spicy and savory) mix together.

MANGO CHICKEN

My first reaction of the mango chicken was that it was very fragrant. I was definitely expecting something very sweet and creamy and therefore when I got the mango chicken, I was not let down. After a while, I began to notice a similarity in taste to my favorite Indian dish butter chicken and I found that very interesting.

RICE

The rice that we got to go along with both a mango and the curry chicken was similar to the rest of the rice from Indian restaurants. Rice that is served with dishes soaked in sauces is usually meant to be mixed them. Therefore it is made to taste very plain and to be slightly dry as though to not overpower the intensity of the rest of the flavors.

NAAN

Last but not least the naan bread, It was super fluffy and warm and was a great pairing to the rest of the meal. We got a really big serving and I really appreciated that as we got to eat it with all of the sauces and everything that was served.

OVERALL

Overall I had such amazing dishes at Moghal Tandoori and I definitely loved it so much. There were tons of different flavors to try.
