AI Spot Summary
The restaurant offers traditional Indian cuisine, with rich flavors in the spinach lamb curry and Indian-style beef curry, both of which have tender lamb and beef. Served with turmeric rice and plain naan, the overall combination is harmonious. The yogurt is smooth, and the orange juice is standard.
Although the space in the store is not large, the seats are intentionally spaced apart, making the overall dining environment still quite comfortable.
Reviews
Abad Indian Restaurant is located on Yucheng Street in the South Harbor District, specializing in traditional Indian cuisine. It takes about a five-minute walk from the Houshanpi MRT Station to get there.
Today, we enjoyed spinach lamb curry, Indian-style beef curry, plain naan, plain Indian yogurt, and orange juice, totaling 830 TWD.
Spinach Lamb Curry:
The appearance is a thick deep green sauce, which at first glance looks quite intense and might make people hesitate, but upon tasting it, the flavor is quite mild, rich with the unique grassy aroma of spinach, and has a thick, warm texture. The lamb is stewed to a very tender state, with no gamey smell.
Indian-style Beef Curry:
Although beef is not commonly found in traditional Indian cuisine, this beef curry is similarly rich in flavor, with a slight spiciness and a heavy aroma of spices; the beef chunks are tender and well-infused with flavor. Unlike the spinach curry, this one has the authentic ginger-yellow color.
Both curries come with turmeric rice, which has a very beautiful yellow color and a moderate taste that pairs well with the flavors of the curry.
Plain Naan:
The outer layer is slightly crispy and has a grainy aroma, with a moderate thickness. Its chewy texture complements the curry well, and it enhances the layered taste when it absorbs the sauce.
Plain Indian Yogurt:
It has a smooth texture, low sweetness, a bit of a fermented taste, and is refreshingly slightly sour, though it is not much different from regular yogurt.
Orange Juice:
It is a standard orange juice, refreshing and easy to drink, without any particularly memorable points but also without any drawbacks, and it's inexpensive.
Overall, it is a genuinely flavorful Indian restaurant with rich spices. Although the meal prices are on the higher side, the portion sizes and quality are quite good. Besides the main dishes priced around 300 TWD, more affordable simple meals are also offered, balancing depth and flexibility.
Though the dining space is not large, the seating is intentionally spaced out, making the overall dining environment comfortable.
Highly recommended for everyone!
