Selections from our January 15, 2019 visit. Above: Beef Curry, complex curry, tender beef, chiles weren't too hot. Below: Mixed vegetable curry.
Above: two paratha, below: Fish curry.
Indian buffet in the style of Malabar, in the old downtown of Milpitas. Another first for me, I've never had this same exact type of South Indian food, for example, that Paratha? Never had one quite like it, with such a pronounced texture, almost like Croissant dough, or Greek Phyllo Dough. Whether they used Ghee or Oil to get that flakey crust, the Paratha doesn't taste oily. This was a buffet format, so they aren't making these dals and curries to order, so one could be concerned about the spice levels, but I wouldn't be. In fact, for a place known for being the hub of the Spice Trade for many millenia, the cuisine is quite balanced and just so.
Highlights included tandoori chicken, mutton and beef with coconut.
