Contrary to most of the reviews here I was pleasan...

Contrary to most of the reviews here I was pleasantly surprised by Amala. We opted for the Thali which meant that we got starters followed by a large plate of smaller curry bowls, naan bread and rice. The starters were good and included chicken tikka and mutton seekh kebab. The chicken tikka was slightly too oily for my palate and I could taste the mustard oil. The seekh on the other hand could have been slightly more spicy but as they were appealing to a neutral and not an Indian plate it was well flavoured, a balance of coriander cumin and garlic. The main curries were decent. I loved the presentation of the naan while the paneer and dal was again too greasy for me. The saviours however were the butter chicken and the prawn curry both of which were the highlights of the meal. Perfectly spiced and cooked chicken in a light but creamy tomato sauce along with the prawns in a chilli coconut curry left me very satisfied with the meal. I will definitely be back as long as they make slight tweaks to complement their perfect ambience and not to mention great service!
