Shahi Korma. Tasty Indian Food.

[Rae82]

Does anybody know a good Indian restaurant that serves lamb shahi korma?
I used to get it in Atlanta at a place called Bombay Grill, and I haven't found anything to compare.
Any recommendations?

Also try Taj Mahal on Metairie Road. The lunch buffet is a steal at around $10. They change the items constantly so you are always suprised by a new tasty morsel. It is owned by the same family as Nirvana, but the chef must be a little better. I always enjoy a trip to Taj Mahal but I rarely order off the a la carte menu. Having said that I would be surprised if they didn't have it. It is sort of a staple.

Years ago, I used to regularly get Shahi Murgh at Taj Mahal and Shalimar (now shuttered, a sister restaurant of Taj & Nirvana) during dinner hours.

The new chefs at Taj Mahal are a welcome relief after so long.
I'll concur with you on the lunch offerings.

Mmmm, now I might have to go there tomorrow!

If you do try the Shahi Murgh at Taj, would you let us know? Or any Shahi entree. Thanks!

I'm not familiar with "shahi." Acutally shahi korma is not a term I recall from any Indian dining experience. Without knowing what that is, I can't say. Anyway, Nirvana on magazine has korma, and I'm pretty sure you can get it with lamb. Good luck, and post back defining the "shahi" part.

I think its essentially the same thing, I was just trying to add a little more information. I know about Nirvana, and its ok, I wanted to branch out a little from it.

have you tried tandoori downtown on the corner of canal and university? i don't know if they have shahi korma, but they have a huge menu, so there's probably a good possibility.

Edit: I found a menu online. Looks like they do have it.

Click "View Menus" and look at the second page of the menu.

Is this place still upstairs, with windows overlooking Canal Street? I seem to recall a long stairwell, an even longer hallway, and a weird vibe, but decent food. I'll have to make a return visit...

[Shiloh]

you nailed it, all the way down to the weird vibe. but good food and very nice people. just kind of a strange space.

[Rae82]

Thanks, I think I'll try it for lunch today!

I am pretty sure they have closed. My darling husband ate there all the time for lunch, and went for a farewell lunch a while ago. Can anyone confirm?

This restaurant (Tandoori) has moved to Metairie and is now called Tandoori Chicken. It is in a small strip shopping area on Cleary between I-10 and Vets.

[Hungry Celeste]

So the Tandoori on Cleary is the same folks from University Place? IIRC, the owners/operators are Sikhs, and long ago, they ran a food stall in the now-closed Elmwood Shopping Center food court.

[JGrey]

Yes. DH confirmed, the last time he went there, the lady gave him the address of the new place on Cleary.

[Shiloh]

damn. did not know that. a real bummer. sorry for misleading you, Rae82.

[Rae82]

Its ok. At least I called first!
But I did break down and get Nirvana, and aside from asking me to call back to place an order at 5:30 (I called at 5:22), is was very tasty.
