Thank God for letting me to take my parents and wife to dinner at Tandoor Grill to celebrate my birthday. Well it is the latest joint to be opened in Ipoh and it is very nice. Run by a Pubjabi family and the word is that they bought the land, erected the building and then started the restaurant. The reviews so far is good and the place is buzzing with customers and lots of people.
We reached the joint at about 6.30pm since we are the early birds and like the Chinese love to have early in the evening. Well as we turn into the entrance we were directed to a parking place by one of the owner and wow I was impressed with the staff being around he still hands on with the customers.
Then we waiting to be seated and I really liked the nine elephants at the entrance. The first impressive was like it look very pricey and can i afford it ? Well the place does take you to a different place and time with the background hindi tunes and the instrumental music..
There certain rooms which one could book in order to have your own private party and also have a close party.
Being a joint run by a punjabi family while and after having a good meal, my mom was walking around meeting her friend and hugging as they met. The manner punjabis greet each other are very warm and with a hug for those who are close to the heart.
Well my wife is a vegetarian and my dad and mom do not fancy prawns and mutton so it was a limited choice for us being the signature dish of tandoori chicken and the naan. I really like the staff there because he did not recommend the high price items but knew and recommend what is nice and popular. Well of course i had read the review and only took the ones which were recommend and which I liked and enjoyed. I did treat myself with the Kashmiri Tea and it is really nice. Well 4 pax and the total bill came to only rm117.00 only which is about rm30.00 perhead. I think that is really dirt cheap.
That was my birthday celebration and wife and mom are watching the serial on Astro now and dad is surfing the net while i compose this entry.
It has been sometime since we had a good establishment like this in Ipoh. Joint like Dehli Junction which was opposite ipoh padang did not survive the test of time. This place is sure giving Pakeeza a run for its money as well as Old Anderson Club.
Well all the best to this place and remember to make God your business partner !
