Tulsi Indian Restaurant

I’ll be honest — I’m not the biggest fan of Indian food. I don’t have much of a tolerance for spicy food, so while I would love to devour all the curry in the world, I can’t. That being said, my friends and I went to Tulsi after purchasing a deal on Groupon for it, and it was pretty good, if I say so myself!
Located a stone’s throw from North Point MTR exit B3, Tulsi is by no means a big and fancy restaurant. It’s not much — it’s a small little thing, no more than fifteen tables or so, but the food is stellar. The restaurant itself is owned by Indians and the waiters are all Indian too, so you know you’re getting all the right information if you have any questions about your dish.
As part of the Groupon deal, we got a couple of appetizers to start. Our favorites were the fried oysters, which even my ew-I-don’t-eat-oysters friends liked, and the king prawns — nice and juicy. The chicken skewers on the other hand were a little dry and not very tender.
And then came the curry! There were three different types — the vegetable curry, beef and chicken curry. If I’m not wrong, it was the vegetable curry that was the least spicy of them all. There was free flow naan and papadum to go with the curries — yum! There was both black truffle naan and regular naan, and I actually preferred the regular one, as with the other one the black truffle kind of interfered with the taste of the curry. Both types of naan were served piping hot, and they’re really soft and doughy. Their papadum is great too, crispy and with just the right amount of spice!
We didn’t really like the dessert though — the Indian pudding called phirni. It didn’t look or taste very good, and had a very watery consistency for a pudding. We all loved the hot masala tea — this was free flow too and I reckon I must have drank three or four of it!
I would recommend checking out Tulsi if you’re on the hunt for a nice Indian restaurant, or if you’re just a fan of Indian food. Service is great and so’s the food — what’s not to love?
