点评:We visited Amiya in April 2024 with colleagues for a team lunch. The place looks great, with a simple but nice aesthetic decor. It was pleasant to be in.
There was a small appetizer bar included with the meal - lentil/vegetable soup, deep-fried potato/lentil doughnut, and dosa (Indian crepe) with mashed potato filling.
Dosa with potato filling was very good and smooth.
The soup was good, mildly spicy, and warm. It had however celery or lemongrass or some other stalks in it that were not chewable and had to be spitted out. I'm sure the soup would be great without this.
Potato/lentil doughnut was unremarkable, quite tasteless.
We all got lunch special which is a main dish platter and a choice of the second dish to add. I got Lamb platter with Chicken Xacuti. It was served with fresh warm naan bread and some cooked coconut flakes as a side. Naan was perfect. Coconut was interesting and nicely accompanied the main dish.
The lamb was something like lamb korma, tasty and flavorful, though very mild. Some pieces were very tender, melting in the mouth, but some were hardly chewable.
Chicken Xacuti unfortunately was a complete disappointment. Pieces of boiled tasteless chicken breast just mixed into some sauce and immediately served. It certainly didn't taste like a properly cooked dish with all the flavors combined and blended. Looks like they tried to cut corners on this one.
The service was excellent: polite, quick, very attentive. Empty plates, used napkins, and utensils were removed promptly.
Overall, I would rate Amiya 3.8 at this point. It's ok for a quick grab of medium grade Indian food in a nice atmosphere but not if you are looking for a real taste palette Indian cuisine has to offer. It's possible my impression will change if I come to Amiya for dinner. We'll see.
翻译:2024 年 4 月,我们和同事一起去 Amiya 吃了一顿团队午餐。这个地方看起来很棒,装饰简单但美观。待在里面很愉快。
餐点中有一个小开胃菜吧——扁豆/蔬菜汤、油炸土豆/扁豆甜甜圈和带土豆泥馅的 dosa(印度薄饼)。
带土豆馅的 dosa 非常好吃,口感顺滑。
汤很好,微辣,温热。不过里面有芹菜或柠檬草或其他一些不能咀嚼的茎,必须吐出来。我相信没有这个汤会很棒。
土豆/扁豆甜甜圈很平淡,没什么味道。
我们都点了午餐特供,包括主菜拼盘和可选的第二道菜。我点了羊肉拼盘和鸡肉 Xacuti。配菜是新鲜的热馕饼和一些煮熟的椰子片。馕饼很完美。椰子很有意思,与主菜搭配得很好。
羊肉有点像羊肉咖喱,味道鲜美,但味道很淡。有些肉片很嫩,入口即化,但有些肉片几乎嚼不动。
不幸的是,Xacuti 鸡肉完全令人失望。煮熟的无味鸡胸肉片只是混合了一些酱汁就立即端上来了。这肯定不像是一道烹饪得当、所有味道都融合在一起的菜肴。看来他们试图在这一点上偷工减料。
服务非常好:礼貌、快速、非常周到。空盘子、用过的餐巾和餐具都被及时清理。
总的来说,我现在会给 Amiya 打 3.8 分。在不错的氛围中快速品尝中等水平的印度菜还可以,但如果你想品尝印度菜的真正味道,那就不行了。如果我来 Amiya 吃晚餐,我的印象可能会改变。我们拭目以待。
