This is my first time eating at a high end Indian restaurant. I am quite surprised by this experience as the menu design is quite interesting.
Raj Kachori
A cracker with sweet and tangy sauce dip. This is quite standard for Indian cuisine but I think the sauce goes well with the crackers.
Baked Jackfruit Samosa
Jackfruit is a very interesting filling for samosas. I find it too sweet for my taste but the accompanying yogurt is a nice touch.
Tandoori Wagyu Beefcheek
As nicely done as it is, I find the beefcheek to be quite bland. I would very much prefer beefcheek in saucy stew over this as the meat is too tender to hold any serious flavor by itself.
Old Delhi Butter chicken
This is easily the best butter chicken I have had in Hong Kong. The sauce is tender and tangy, the chicken is meaty but also tender. Next time I should probably just get this to go with naan and basmati rice.
Himachali Mahani
It's a bean stew with some spice in it. I like it.
Prawn Pulao with basmati rice
The basmati rice is so fragrant I just can't have enough of it. The rice is cooked superbly but the prawns were overseasoned.
Garlic Naan
Standard naan bread.
Seasonal Kulfi
Unless you know what it is and actually like it, I do not recommend this as I think this is quite peculiar for Hong Kong taste buds. It is a coconut based popsicle with some coconut noodles and fruits in the bottom. I did not enjoy it at all.
Overall, Chaat offers a high quality experience with deep insight into the Indian culinary experience beyond what Hong Kong are normally accustomed to. For me, I do prefer the more popular dishes such as butter chicken and basmati rice. But if you are feeling adventurous, I recommend you give it a try, as long as you are open to new and interesting flavors!
