The palak was yum, but a bit rich, not as crispy as others we have had, but it was crunchy (hence a discussion about the difference between crispy and crunchy).  The aloo was nice also, a patty of potato crumbed and fried.  Ron said it was a bit dry, it had a nice chilli sauce with it.

As to the mains, the seafood was voted the best.  The beef was tender with lots of flavour and went well with the red wine.  The other dishes were nice, but all had heavy, rich sauces.

We had been planning to go to Blu Ginger for ages, and finally made it.  We felt that overall the meal was enjoyable, the entrees were really lovely, different and showed promise.  The mains were quite heavy in terms of the sauces, maybe too rich?  Overall, we felt that this wasn't the best of Indian restaurants we had been to.  It was better than some, but not as good as others89.
Noise level not too high, decibels in the 60s.
