Mon dieu, we swear we saw heaven during our recent dinner at Madras Palace in Gaithersburg, MD.
Amidst the vast wasteland of bad Indian restaurants in the U.S., Madras Palace in Gaithersburg is a beacon of hope for weary aficionados of Indian food.
A 100% vegetarian Indian restaurant located at 74 Bureau Drive in Gaithersburg, Madras Palace offers an array of South Indian and North Indian delicacies including Dosa, Uttapam, Bisi Bele Bath and a choice of curries.
During our recent dining trip to Madras Palace, we let our taste-buds roam hither and thither across the vast prairie of the restaurant’s offerings.
BisiBele Bath, Tomato Curry, Mango Kalam, Uttappam, Rasam, Rava Kessari, Kheer were among the items we dipped our beaks into.
Much of what we tasted at Madras Palace delighted us.
An exceptional Indian restaurant where the food is neither spiced dispiritingly low nor obscenely high, but just right.
Heavenly Curries
Mango Kalan was a divine curry with sweet and sour cut mango pieces cooked in coconut sauce and long, whole green chilies. With rice, with Poori or with Uttappam, any way you have the Mango Kalam you are a winner.
Tomato Curry in a medium-thick red-colored sauce looked inviting and tasted delicious with Poori and when mixed with rice.
Fine Vegetarian Indian Food
With onion, green chili, tomato and peas, Uttappam was a flavorful delight that needed no accompaniment. With the spicy Tomato Chutney, the Uttappam sent us into a moaning orgasmic frenzy.
Bisi Bele Bath, a speciality from the south Indian state of Karnataka, was tasty but would have been better with a tad more ghee.
Non Pareil Rasam
Rasam sent us into an euphoric fit of ecstasy. Sour and pungent with black pepper powder, surely it must be what the Gods in heaven drink every day to retain their miraculous powers. Continue reading »
