When you move from one country to another country you probably carry your food memories along with all the other memories. After moving from India to the US, we visited many Indian restaurants from East coast to West coast. Most of the time, I failed to get that authentic Indian taste. Most restaurants had the same taste and same color whether its chicken Tikka or vegetable Korma. Somewhere, I lost interest in visiting Indian restaurants. But, there are a couple of times when you get that taste you are looking for. We recently heard that a new Indian restaurant had opened nearby to our city. I was hopeful to visit because it is the Thali brand, it is popular for its incredible Indian taste. India , West Hartford was a good find. We were there for lunch. Modern contemporary, clean set up was great with Indian touch like displaying framed saree and using colors like scarlet red and jet black which you rarely see in an Indian restaurant in the US. We recently visited India . For lunch they have options like a small plate(appetizer) and big plate(main course), you can choose one item from each. You have an option for vegetarian, vegan and nonvegetarian to glutton free. I ordered from small plate Jinga Manchurian (Shrimp Manchurian) and my husband ordered Chicken Tikka and our 7-year-old son Samosa (It comes with two Samosas). Everything tasted very delicious, rightly coated with spices and cooked to perfection. India , West Hartford is a good choice for family lunch or dinner outing. Kids friendly indeed. Food tastes better when served with love and care. The manager also came to check few times, if everything is perfect. His interacting with the kids to make them comfortable was a good part. The Waiter also came to check on us regularly.

For the main course, I ordered Chicken Kathi and my husband Paneer Tikka Masala, it came with basmati rice and for our son Malai tikka.Kathi roll is a good option for lunch. Chicken Tikka is a must try and that kind of tikka taste is rare to find near Hartford area. For dessert, we ordered Chenna Rabri(Sweet cheese ball with heavy cream). Parking might be little tricky as it is in the heart of the blue back square. But, there is a public parking area near to the restaurant and some street parking is also available. They have a different menu for dinner with an array of choices and for Sunday street style brunch menu looked quite interesting too. It is worth a visit if you want to taste delicious Indian cuisine. I am looking forward to my next trip soon.
Chenna Rabri
