Vick's Food Review

Parking Rating: The parking was really good. Great to find a parking spot, and very accessible for disabled people.

Noise: It was very loud, but a lot of the people were speaking in Hindi or another Indian language.

Food Rating: The food was really good and authentic. I read some reviews from Indian people and they said it was one of the most traditional tasting restaurants in the area.

Service: The service was great, although there was a long line it moved fast and we had our food in no time! The service was also really friendly, and explained where all the food was from.

Atmosphere: It felt like I was in a modern Indian restaurant, because the people that ate there were Indian and so were the cooks. The Indian market with people wearing Sari's in the back made it seem even more Indian.

Prices: The food was a little pricy, but considering it was made with traditional Indian spices and herbs it was good.

Overall: The restaurant was amazing, it is a great place for any family to go, and I would give it five out of five stars!

Pictures of the food I made

To the left is a picture of the rice pudding I made. I used the recipe that was posted on the blog, but it takes longer than 20-30 minutes to cook the rice and milk. I suggest using whole fat milk, because it takes less time to boil. It took me 45 minutes to get the milk and rice to a boil. The Saffron is not necessary, but it makes the pudding yellow and this way it tastes more like salt. The pudding is good cold or warm.

On the bottom is the Mango Lassi that I made. I used the recipe that was shown earlier in the blog, but if you buy sweetend Mango Pulp you should

add only one to no table spoons of sugar. It is best served cold.

Pictures of the Store by Vick's

These are some pictures of the store by Vicks, I went shopping here for the ingredients for the food I cooked. On the left is a picture of some of the different types of flour for the different breads in India. There are about 13 different types of bread in India!

This is the Masala Dosa. It is a traditional food in North India and people sell it on pushcarts. Dosa means crepe, and it is filled with Masala, or potatoes, spices, and tomatoes.
