Yeah, once I had a batch that was too oily. Maybe the oil wasn't hot enough or the samosas sat too long. I haven't had any more there since. I need to lay off the fried shit.
Quality varies sometimes. One time I got some fresh pakoras from tandoori nights that were good, but once I ordered some and they came overcooked and soaking in oil... what are you going to do.
2 places that I've had good experiences at are House of Dosas (kingsway and knight) and Nooru Mahal (Fraser and 23rd?). They are both sri-lankan, and are both excellent for quality and consistency. I think nooru mahal uses a little msg, but I haven't gotten a hint of any at house of dosas (I get a funny reaction to the stuff sometimes). Both places make *excellent dosa (an indian crepe). Nooru Mahal makes it a bit thinner (which is better), however HOD has better sambar and Mango Lassi. Also, the Thali (dinner set) at HOD is excellent, both meat and veg.
For more punjabi type foor, I would recomment Tandoori King (Fraser and marine), as well as rubina (but they are pricey tho. Also their tandoori chicken is somewhat dry... a big no-no). Just down the road is a place called The Tandoori Chat House (I think that's what it's called). I've been there once, food was good. My wife's cousins (he's white, she's east indian) are *seriously* wealthy, but when they cater a party, they have the Chat House do it. I think that says something about their quality and consistency.
