点评:I've lived in Stony for around 12 years but last night was the first time that my husband and I decided to try a curry at this lovely place. We had actually planned on going to one of the other Indian restaurants in town but after learning that it had a very poor hygiene rating, we looked into who had 5 stars - and therefore excellent hygiene - and Eastern Paradise was one of only two in the town that had achieved this.
We were warmly greeted and shown to a nice table in the window. The owner made a point of coming over and introducing himself properly. (His name is Abdul.) We told him that this was our first time dining here and he said if we needed any advice on the dishes to just let him know and he could talk us through the menu.
We chose the Tandoori Lamb Chops & Prawn Puree to start then I had one of the House Specials of Lahori Lamb and Rich had a Chicken & Lentil Dansak (Balti) that was also served with a light, fluffy naan.
Every dish was beautifully spiced and distinctively 'different' in flavour! My favourite had to be the Lahori Lamb which was diced and minced lamb with green peppers, onions and a Bengal chili hot sauce. It really had a kick to it which we both loved!
It makes a nice change to go to an Indian restaurant that knows it's spices - and isn't afraid to use them! Over the years we've visited other Indian restaurants around the area where the sauces seem to be the same for every dish - and the same red colour - but Hallelujah - Not here at Eastern Paradise - which is now our new favourite Indian Restaurant in town.
Abdul, and indeed all the staff were just lovely - warm, hospitable, knowledgeable, attentive and we were treated to a glass of Baileys as we were first time visitors. A very nice touch indeed.
Love, love love the food here and we will definitely be back for another mid week curry soon!
翻译:我在斯托尼住了大约 12 年,但昨晚是我和丈夫第一次决定在这个可爱的地方尝试咖喱。我们原本计划去镇上的另一家印度餐馆,但在得知它的卫生评级很差后,我们查看了哪家餐馆有 5 星 - 因此卫生状况极佳 - 而 Eastern Paradise 是镇上仅有的两家获得这一评级的餐馆之一。
我们受到了热情的欢迎,并被带到了靠窗的一张漂亮的桌子旁。老板特意过来正式介绍自己。(他的名字叫 Abdul。)我们告诉他这是我们第一次在这里吃饭,他说如果我们需要任何关于菜肴的建议,只需告诉他,他就可以向我们介绍菜单。
我们选择了 Tandoori 羊排和虾泥作为开胃菜,然后我点了一份 Lahori Lamb 的招牌菜,Rich 点了一份鸡肉和扁豆 Dansak(Balti),也配上轻盈蓬松的印度烤饼。
每道菜都调味精美,味道“与众不同”!我最喜欢的是拉合尔羊肉,它是用青椒、洋葱和孟加拉辣椒酱切丁和切碎的羊肉做成的。它真的很辣,我们都很喜欢!
去一家知道香料的印度餐馆,这是一个不错的改变——而且不怕使用它们!多年来,我们去过该地区的其他印度餐馆,那里的酱汁似乎每道菜都一样——而且都是同样的红色——但哈利路亚——东方天堂不是这样——它现在是我们在镇上最喜欢的印度餐馆。
阿卜杜勒,事实上所有的工作人员都很可爱——热情、好客、知识渊博、细心,因为我们是第一次来,所以他们招待了我们一杯百利甜酒。这确实是一个非常好的举动。
非常喜欢这里的食物,我们一定会很快再来吃另一顿中周咖喱!
