Indian Restaurants in Chengdu

[purutabu]

Who wants indian food this week??? I’m craving for some… any suggestions?

There are 3 places in the south, one on Renmin Nanlu just north of Grandma’s Kitchen, one across the street from The Bookworm, and another on the north side of the Soho building in the consulate road.

I’m down but would prefer to go to the one across from The Bookworm, that’s the only one I haven’t been to. It’s supposed to be good, also. I saw Dana and Danny from the Lazy Pug heading in there the other day and if they’re going it’s gotta be good…

Think that place is called the tandoor. It’s easily the best Indian I’ve had in Chengdu but it’s pricy and portions are small.

I love Indian food, just cooked a jalfrezi tonight.

I normally buy spice packs from here. Running low on stocks so planning to get some more soon. I can order some extra if anybody wants.

I’d go for Cacaja by the river. The one at Soho uses the same name but i’ve found their stuff to be kinda ordinary. Tandoor, next to Bookworm is the best, but as has been mentioned,is $$$$$

According to Google, it’s called Yafeila – Namashidi. Ate there with an Indian medical student who said it doesn’t taste like Indian food in India. Their cooks are all Chinese. When she applied for a job there as a cook, they didn’t want her because her cooking would be too Indian! But as I’m not Indian, I couldn’t tell the difference. I think she said the food was more spiced with black pepper than she’s used to. That being said, the decor was nice, service was fine and food was pretty good.

I agree with Ray, Cacaja is better deal and food is good. Just don’t get the lamb kedai.

I third Cacaja, I thought the food was pretty good, prices OK and the service fine. Bonus for nice decor and cold Kingfishers.

count me in

Alright let’s all go to Cacaja sometime this week. Is Thursday ok?

[Dana Kaufman]

Tandoor all the way! Indian food outside of India is usually a bit expensive and, of course, never as good. All the ingredients are imported and they have a decent size menu. They are also never out of anything. The service is also pretty good.

The only thing I would advise against is the mango lassi. Actually better at Peter’s Tex Mex! Haha… You can stuff your face and your stomach will fell full NOT sick! Think twice about cheap Indian (or any food food for that matter!) food here. Lots of cream, unique spices and yogurt used in Indian food. We know first hand the costs of quality and that usually means imported!

Hummm…Aloo Gobi, Navratan Korma, Malai Kofta….
