点评:We were so looking forward to this supper! The reviews encouraged us to select Vadivelu. Although we had to wait for poppadoms which arrived post stater, the starters themselves didn’t disappoint. The chicken tikka was succulent and tender although we had to request raita to accompany and CVpartner had already finished. The bhajis were ok. Sambal a bit dull with no citrusy zest nor coriander.
The mains however truly disappointed. A Durban lamb curry, ordered on the bone, arrived bone free. Dry and smothered with a hard sauce which had no fruity softness to it. A few pieces of with bone curry arrived as an afterthought. Not really good enough. The prawn curry too was overcooked and over sauced with no subtlety nor vibrancy. Same chutneys. Same sambal. Yawn. No fresh herbs. No citrus. A bit like something I’d put in normal day sandwiches he’s! Best bit was the chai tea. Worst meal yet on our touring of Cape Town and its surrounds. Disappointing.
翻译:我们太期待这顿晚餐了!评论鼓励我们点了Vadivelu。虽然我们不得不等到开胃菜后才送来的印度薄脆饼,但开胃菜本身并没有让我们失望。鸡肉咖喱鲜嫩多汁,虽然我们不得不点酸奶酱来搭配,而CVpartner已经吃完了。巴基斯坦炸蔬菜饼还行。参巴酱味道略淡,没有柑橘味和芫荽味。主菜却令人大失所望。我们点了一份带骨的德班羊肉咖喱,上来时却没有骨头。肉质干硬,酱汁浓稠,没有水果的柔滑口感。几块带骨的咖喱羊肉是事后才送来的。味道真的不够好。虾咖喱也煮得太过了,酱汁也太多了,既没有精致的口感,也没有活力。同样的酸辣酱。同样的参巴酱。让人失望。没有新鲜的香草。没有柑橘味。有点像我平常放在三明治里的东西!最棒的是印度奶茶。这是我们在开普敦及其周边地区旅行以来吃过的最差的一餐。太令人失望了。
