oh where to start, where to start! i was searching for a place that would give me authentic vegetarian north indian food (far too many places have duped me with their sambar-y rajma and chole). and this place didn't disappoint.
the halwa house is not very easy to find because it's not on the thoroughfare, but this only adds to the general quaint charm of the place.
we went for a weekday dinner and therefore were quite surprised to find the place full. families, mostly. we didn't get a table for two, instead shared a table for six with another couple (mother and daughter).
let's now talk about the food.
it was scrumptious! they spoil you for choice, they really do. there's about 40 starters, and twice the number of side dishes. the number of indian breads are endless. they have a selection of rice as well.
we ordered masala papad, the stuffed mushroom tikka, kaju paneer and butter roti. the food was excellent! the tikka was divine. kaju paneer was slightly sweet (we were warned by the waiter) however the paneer was soft and broke as soon as we speared it with roti.
my mouth waters as i think of this place again. will definitely keep going there!
