March 30, 2008: De Orchid Ii

Spicy Junction) had been a chip of a letdown, therefore it was wonderful to teach dorsum to De Orchid together with discovery 3 to a greater extent than delicious takeaway vego curries for our delectation. We decided to essay out totally dissimilar carte items to final time, going for: a serve of samosas ($3), daal maharani ($8), pumpkin masala ($8.90), navaratan korma ($8.90) together with a roti breadstuff ($2).

The samosas were a fairly measure smoothen vegie mush, amongst a generous scattering of coriander seeds throughout together with a lemon-minted raita. Very tasty. The daal was thick amongst chunky lentils, had a mild flavor together with to a greater extent than or less easily dodgable chunks of fresh tomato. It was in all probability a lilliputian on the stodgy side, but that's what yous desire from a daal really.

The 2 vegie dishes were the stars: the korma had the finely chopped vegies that equally good easily remind me of frozen mixed vegies, but were much to a greater extent than plainly freshly chopped than Spicy Junction's efforts. The flavor was also to a greater extent than impressive - well-spiced together with creamy. The description inward the carte promises dried fruit, but Cindy together with I only noticed i sultana betwixt us. Which wasn't actually a occupation - sultanas inward curry remind me equally good much of here.

Another affair nosotros discovered on their takeaway menu: De Orchid's website.

Update 4/9/09: After beingness 'temporarily' shut for close on a year, De Orchid has of late reopened. My offset impression: things direct keep gone downwards loma - but we'll in all probability rank them to a greater extent than or less other direct chances together with write a proper review.

Update 10/2/10: It appears that De Orchid is no to a greater extent than at this address. There's an Indian eating seat amongst a dissimilar cite inward its place, together with we've non notwithstanding tried it. It's unclear whether the De Orchid has changed names, changed locations or disappeared entirely.
