Tiffin Restaurant

Tiffin has a very homely atmosphere, the decor is very simple but sufficient. I did not have a good camera with me this time so the pictures didn't turn out that well, wasn't sitting at a place with a lot of possible angles to cover the whole restaurant either.

Unlike the last time I ate at a restaurant place, this one did not have a lunch buffet. The menu did not have too many variety, and prices are around $3.99-$5.99 for appetizers and $6.99-$8.99+ for main dishes. There was also a lunch menu ranging from $3.99 - $5.99 which I heard had very small portions.
This 3 piece vegetable samosa (comes in beef/chicken/veg $3.99) tasted really good. I would definitely recommend this, I wanted to get some more after I finished the meal.

+ Unexpectedly good, really spicy





Sorry for the dark pictures, but seen here is the mutton curry and mutton korma with naan. Each dish came with 2 pieces of naan at $7.99. Let me just say that this is some of the best lamb that I have ever had, the regular curry and korma tasted very rich and its aroma was heavenly. The portions are really small though, at $7.99 I would have expected to get at least a bit more.


We ordered half a tandoori chicken($10.99) after the curry and naan because we weren't even close to being full. We weren't big fans of this dish, I didn't really find anything spectacular but one thing worth noting was that the chicken was still very moist, a good thing.



To the left is something called the Faluda drink($4.99) and to the right is the Mango lassi($3.99). The mango lassi paled in comparison to the faluda drink had a flowery aroma and tasted pretty amazing and distinct.


There is also a section when you enter the restaurant with all sorts of different Indian sweets, I did not try them out but they looked pretty good! The service was really excellent too, the waitress was very young and inexperienced but very eager to please!

Spent $25/person for lunch (I left $50 including tips) I expected to be a lot fuller or maybe the food could be less expensive.

+ Great food
- Portions are way too small
- Kind of expensive due to small portions

*I checked what Tiffin meant and it looks like the portions were small on purpose?
