OUR LATEST REVIEW: NORTH INDIA BAR & GRILL
Submitted by some of our site visitors,
I felt the urge to try Indian food again. My favorite restaurant for authentic Hindu food was Masala in River Park. Unfortunately, they close down just like so many other great Fresno-Clovis eateries. My girlfriend and I stop by North India Bar & Grill to try them out. The ambiance is a combination of old India and Britain décor. They feature a very nice bar and a nice large cover patio. For us, that is a must because we both enjoy conversation and a good cigar and after diner drink.
The food was good but the service in the patio was very slow and the waitress had an attitude even though there were many empty tables. My suggestion to them is to invest in better training for their employees dealing with the public.
Have you ever wanted to try Indian food, but did not feel comfortable about too much spice? You should not be with this restaurant! We stopped for a lunch there, they gave us very affordable menu and for my surprise I also found burgers and pizza there! My kids had a nice large pizza to share and we tried curry chicken. I asked to make it very mild and was happy with my order. I would definitely stop there again.
My husband and I enjoyed a very nice meal here this past Fri. night after doing a little birthday shopping for our son's girlfriend. We originally had wanted to dine at Kim's Vietnamese and found it to be out of business when we pulled up. North India Bar & Grill was a nice alternative, we had brought a bottle of Muellar Thargau to go along with our dinner.
The ambiance here is very comfortable, a very spacious dining room with comfy booths. We started with a simple House Salad which was prepared with cucumbers, dried cranberries, goat cheese and had a mango vinegarette dressing, the salad was a nice size, next time we will share one, the price was very good at $4/plate. We also ordered some really yummy Goat Cheese Naan which is a flat bread stuffed with Goat Cheese, Green Onions and Bell Peppers.
My entree was the Lamb Pasanda which was large chunks of tender lamb prepared wit ginger, garlic and onions in a creamy yogurt sauce with roasted cashews. I loved this dish! My husband enjoyed his Tandorii Chicken which is one of the restaurant's specialties. It is baked in a clay oven and prepared with yogurt, herbs and spices. We also ordered the Vegetable Biryani which was rice prepared with mixed veggies in herbs and spices.
Everything we ordered was excellent, our service was friendly and attentive. For dessert we shared a Crème Brulee which was prepared with spices and mango, a nice finish to a great meal. I found the prices here to be very reasonable, most of the entrees are under $15, there are many options to choose from.
We will definitely be back here, they are also open for lunch and some of the sandwiches, salads and pizzas sounded very good. The restaurant is very family friendly and is also a nice choice for large groups. Their corkage fee was $7/bottle, there was also a good wine list here and several good by the glass choices.
India comes to Clovis? Yes, and yum! Get the waiter's advice if you are not sure what to try because dishes range from mild and tasty to blow-the-top-of-your-head-off. I had a cold "chicken chaat" salad that was delicious - chicken, potatoes, cucumbers, etc. On another trip, a very good but hotter than expected lamb dish required a side order of rice to cool it off. Dinners are ordered a la carte, but be sure to get the warm naan bread that comes with a rack of 4 dipping sauces - tamarind is especially recommended. Also, if it's not on the menu, ask for a mango lassi - a creamy yoghurt-based drink that will bring you back all by itself. Can't wait to visit this place again and try some more new dishes.
It would had been a better experience for us if they let us smoke our cigars in the patio like the Elbow Room does. The place is nice but we will continue to patronize the Fig Garden better. |
