East is East

Went to East is East with some friends to celebrate a birthday. Before we arrived, we got a call saying they discourage bringing your own cake because there'll be a $10-$20 surcharge and there's also a $2 surcharge per person for entertainment. That was not a good way to start a dinner.

BUT

We had a great time. We ordered the Mango Prawns, Tibetan Mantu, Lamb Kebab, double vegetarian roti rolls (Ghandara Blues & Ghandi's Breakfast), and double non vegetarian roti rolls (Persia's Favourite & one other)- displayed below in order.

The Mango Prawns were pretty good. Prawns were sweet and the rice were well seasoned.

The Tibetan Mantu was also good, but a little too rich.

The lamb kebabs were the best dish of the night. The sauce was really good, but I found the dried fruit in the rice a little too sweet.

The lamb kebabs came with a side of naan and vegetables. There's also enough naan for all five of us.

The vegetarian rotis were better than the non vegetarian ones because they're not as dry.

The lamb in the Persia's Favourite was a little dry.

They also gave us soy milk chai to sample when we first arrived. I liked it so much I ordered one.

Overall, the food was "good," but like my friends said, it's okay to eat just once a year - just a little too rich, I think.
