       This friendly little Indian eatery, located just down the road from The Splendor Hotel (see COMPASS map) was recently opened by Pakistani Vicky and his Taiwanese wife, Sophia. Despite its modest size, this restaurant features one of the most extensive Indian menus in town, not to mention large portions of delicious, cheap food. Vicky, who has about 10 years of Indian cooking experience in London and Karachi, has a repertoire of about 300 dishes. These include main-course items like the tasty Tandoori Lamb Chops (NT$180); the very popular Chicken Tikka (NT$150); the Sheek Kebab beef rolls; Chicken Vindaloo Karahi (NT$220); Beef Madras (NT$200), cooked in coconut sauce; Lamb Tikka Biryani; Tandoori Chicken Leg (NT$180), made with large, tender Taiwanese "tuji" (free-range) chickens; and vegetarian items lke the Bhindi Karah okra with tomato hot sauce, and Bombay Aloo Karahi potatoes with Bombay thick sauce. To go with this are samosas, kebabs, papadams, Raita yoghurt salad, six types of Nan bread, and imported Indian rice. All the food is nicely-balanced between slightly spicy and flaming hot, making this a pleasant experience for all. Drinks include soft drinks, beers (NT$80), Lassi Indian yoghurt drinks and a tasty hot Indian Milk Tea (NT$50).
