Sangiv from the Himalayan Grille in Sunset Beach has opened a new restaurant in Cypress. On Katella at the Costco Plaza. www.ocindiagrill.com, Nice place, furnished well. Lots of room for a wine dinner.
Sangiv did bring one of the cooks from the Himalayan so it will be interesting to see how the two places match up for food.
We started out with Samosa's. Good but I think the crust was a little thick. I do like the Himalayan's better. We then ordered a plate of Vegetable Pakoras. Very good the better of the two places.
A variety of dishes were ordered, Shrimp Saag, Mango Chicken, Chicken Chau Chau, Lamb Marsala, Aloo Gobi and Garlic Naan. And two bowls of basmatic rice. I did like the Chau Chau much better than the Himalayan but the other dishes were on par.
Best news is no corkage for us
Started off with a NV Paul Goerg, France, Blanc de Blanc. Then onto a 2012 Martinelli, Sonoma Coast, Rose. Both good wines and both were a good start to a meal on a hot day
Rounding out the evening:
2008 Sea Smoke, Botella, Sta Rita Hills, Pinot Noir
2008 Duckhorn, Napa, Merlot
2008 Williams Seylem, Bacigalupi Vineyard, Sonoma, Zinfandel
2008 La Vigne, Sanarone, Italy, Barolo
I left a little after 9:00, besides us there were still two tables occupied. The close at 9:30. Open for a buffet lunch everyday. Then reopens in the afternoon for dinner. This place is much larger than the Himalayan and you don't have that cold air rushing in everytime a door is opened. I think this will be our new to go place for Indian food.
