A most enjoyable dinner for my wife and I at Pink Garlic indian restaurant in Bugibba on Wednesday evening. On arrival we were greeted by Mr. Nazmul Istiak, the restaurant owner, who gave us a good table for two persons inside the restaurant. I can say that this is a nice restaurant, with an aquarium near the entrance and also a good bar area. A blue parakeet parrot is let to roam freely at the back of the restaurant. Ms. Annemarie Cordina, the front of house manager presented the menus to us and the wine list. This is essentially a UK style curry house, with other Pink Garlic restaurants operated by the owner, in England and Ireland.
We chose some poppadums with three types of dips to start with and also an assorted chef mix. The dips consisted of mango chutney, mint and saffron sauce, and homemade mixed spices sauce. The assorted platter contained lamb koftas, tandoori chicken, prawns marinated with aromatic herbs and ajwain seeds, filo pastry samosas filled with pork mince, and grilled mixed vegetables.
For main course we then shared some dishes - lamb mon-passand with garlic, ginger, fenugreek seeds and coriander, chicken murgh tikka masala in a coconut based sauce with tomatoes and spices, and palok paneer cottage cheese with diced potatoes and spinach. The main courses were accompanied with pilau rice and peshwari naan bread filled with mixed nuts.
We complimented our dinner with a bottle of local Hauteville Voigner white wine and two bottles of still water. We did not have space for dessert at the end but settled for a shot of baby guinness each - baileys on tia maria.
The cost of the dinner at the end came to Eur97 and included Eur32 for the wine and after dinner shots. A good Indian restaurant with authentic food served in abundant portions. Friendly and experienced service and a beautiful newly refurbished restaurant. Got to have a photo with the parakeet parrot at the end too. Will definitely visit again soon.
