Amar Indian Cuisine in Fairfield

We returned to Amar Indian today (10/25/18) to check out their lunch buffet. Above you can see, from six o'clock going clockwise: Vegetable Biryani Rice, Goat Curry, Mango Dal with Curry Leaves, Roasted Eggplant, a small dollop of Chicken (Curry?), and Paneer Tikka Masala. The Green Curry in the middle is a Cilantro Curry with Shrimp. Just below the Biryani Rice is a small quantity of Coconut Chutney. Everything was as superb as usual. Place was pretty packed. This was my first plate.

Here's my 2nd place with more Rice (Veg Biryani) and Goat Curry (which was tender and melt in your mouth exquisite), but this time I got a couple of new things including Tandoori Chicken (great as always), and Punukollu Lentil Balls, stuffed with cilantro and red onion, which I ate with Coconut Chutney.

Andhra Chicken Curry at Amar Indian Cuisine in Fairfield.

We've just recently heard about this Indian restaurant in Fairfield that opened in a space where Indian buffets were being done. Amar still hosts lunch buffets, but they doubled the space and are also serving exquisite Indian dishes for dinner. 

Methi Palak Channa/Paneer.

Mutton Daar Kuruma.

Nizami Chicken Curry.

All 3 of the above dishes on one plate. Note the whole spices at the edge of this plate. This was from our first visit in September 2018. We were instantly hooked, and have been talking about returning ever since.

Above and below: a Chaat dish, Dhaki Bhella, served cold. This, and the following dishes, are from our visit tonight, October 4, 2018.

Amritsari Fish with Ajwain & Besan flour. Delicate fried fish with spices that are subtle compared to Amar's spicy curries.

Jeera Rice, with the heavy aromas of ghee and cumin.

Above: Mushroom Mutter Masala. The heavy cream makes this a very rich, filling dish.

Saving the best for last, Andhra Chicken Curry, with an intense array of spices, but not chile spicy hot.
