点评:Parwana is reputed to be an Adelaide institution so when asked, I was happy to join a friend for dinner. Unfortunately, for me, there was quite a bit to not be happy about.
We waited a while and when no glasses were brought for our BYO, I had to ask for them, but my glass had the tell tale tack of the previous user, so polished it myself with water from my water glass and my napkin. Not a great start.
Food was Fried Fritters to start, which I found dense, heavy and crumbly with the veg underdone. Then Dahl (which I thought was the best of the dishes we ordered), lamb stew which was also pleasant but really unremarkable in its plainness, and pan-fried chicken pieces. This dish was a train wreck for me, completely dried out thigh chicken (it’s actually hard to get to that stage), tossed with some mix of things which I wasn’t even interested enough to investigate. It was lukewarm but still quite warm further in the pile, so what does that tell you?
Naan was ordered too but it and the naan served with the train wreck were different and I am sure I saw similar at the Central Market the day before, ergo, it was not house made, not as fresh as it should have been and had the familiar texture of re-warmed bread.
One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a while. But what do I know. The punters kept pouring in. I left having not a clue as to why. No need for a return visit. A waste of money.
I like to balance the scales of over patronised establishments when it’s deserved. Suggest readers go to a true family run institution, Jasmin Indian. Fine food and professional service. It will cost you more but you won’t leave disappointed.
翻译:Parwana 是阿德莱德的一家著名餐厅,所以当被邀请时,我很乐意和朋友共进晚餐。不幸的是,对我来说,有很多不开心的事情。
我们等了一会儿,没有人给我们拿来 BYO 酒杯,我不得不要求拿来,但我的酒杯上留有前一位使用者留下的痕迹,所以我用水杯和餐巾纸里的水自己擦了一下。开始不太好。
首先是炸油条,我觉得它又厚又重又脆,蔬菜也还没熟。然后是 Dahl(我认为这是我们点的菜中最好的)、羊肉炖菜,味道也不错,但实在是太普通了,还有煎鸡块。这道菜对我来说简直是一场灾难,鸡腿完全干了(其实很难干到那个地步),还拌了一些我甚至不感兴趣去研究的东西。食物微温,但堆得更远一点还是很热,这说明了什么?
我也点了印度烤饼,但它和火车残骸一起供应的印度烤饼不同,我相信前一天我在中央市场看到过类似的食物,因此,它不是自制的,没有应有的新鲜,而且有重新加热的面包的熟悉质地。
这是我最近最糟糕的用餐体验之一。但我知道什么。顾客不断涌入。我离开时不知道为什么。不需要再来。浪费钱。
我喜欢在应得的情况下平衡过度光顾的机构的规模。建议读者去真正的家庭经营的机构 Jasmin Indian。美食和专业服务。虽然花费更多,但你不会失望而归。
