Food:
The prawns were excellent, everyone loved them. They had a beautiful coating which gave them fabulous texture that was different. The prawn was not lost as per usual with Indian food. The Aloo (fried spinach on top of what was almost a potato salad) was tasty, crunchy with a yoghurt and tamarind dressing. The different textures of the crunchy spinach and soft potato went well together.
The main dishes all came out together, so we were all absorbed in making sure Ron did not pig them all. Interestingly, we all seemed to prefer different dishes. The fish was "different" the lamb was a tamil dish, chicken fabulous, great flavour. There was not bad dish, they were all tasty, went well together, and each was a bit different. Often when eating Indian out, different dishes often end up tasting the same, but this was not the case here.
Dessert (which only three of us had) was gulab Jahmin, there was no other choice except icecream.
Flavours of India is a reliable choice, food always good, not spectacular, but that is not what we were after. Service good, restaurant not too crowded. If you are a decent, down to earth Indian, this is a good place to go. It cost us about $38 each, good value.
