Chef India - Lawton

A friend and I decided to come here for the 1st time this week and we were not disappointed. Starting with the atmosphere, I really enjoyed that they had Indian music videos playing. Outside of watching a one off Bollywood movie I have personally not heard a lot of this genre of music so it was nice to hear different kinds of music from the Indian culture. The 4 stars just comes from some of the decor that seemed out of place, like the paper doilies under the glass on the table that looks like it was left from valentines day. Nothing major but just something I took note of. About the serive, the women that waited on us was really nice but she was MIA sometimes and based on the conversation I overheard from 2 elderly women that were sitting close by she was neglectful at times. I didnt have any major issues with the service I just wish she was a bit more attentive with our drink refills or just updating us on our food since there weren't a lot of people in there dining and we did have quite a wait for our food. She later explain that they made the tandoori chicken to order so it takes a little longer. I also noticed that even though the dining area was empty the seemed to have a lot of doordash,ubereats orders come through. So, about our meals. Everything we had was SOOOO DELICIOUS and well worth the wait! The samosas were packed with filling and flavor. It was paired with a green type of salsa and a sweet kind of sauce. Not sure what the actual name of it was but they were both tasty. As you can see from the video I added my chicken tandoori was brought out sizzling hot and my grilled onions were ACTUALLY grilled. I hate when restaurants throw raw onions on at the last minute and and they try to pass off slightly warmed up onions as grilled onions. It's a BIG pet peeve of mine, mostly because I dont really like raw onions. So, I was happy to see that the onions on my plate were actually grilled, cooked, and extremely flavorful. The basmati rice that came with my meal was cooked to perfection and the yogurt curry sauce was ?. All of this plus the garlic naan was just heaven. My friend had the butter chicken and that was just as good. After our meal we decided to try some dessert and got the balls. I will search the actual name for that dessert and add it to the image. It was my 1st time trying that and it was better than expected. It kinda reminded me of bread pudding. Like it would be bread pudding's distant cousin or something. I'm not sure if that's what it's supposed to taste like but that's what it reminded me of. Either way it was pretty good. Ultimately, we really enjoyed this place and had a great experience here. I know a lot of people are ordering food for pick up but I highly recommend going into this establishment and enjoying your meal there.
