Yesterday I ate at Amrutham, a South Indian Restaurant with my father. We were there quite early and the location was empty. The location is ok, not too great but not extremely bad either. We got two different menu-cards. In general, there are four menus, lamb-, chicken-, vegetarian- and beef-curries with dessert and a starter. We got a small glass of mango lassi followed by one Samosa, both not too bad, but not really special either. The curry was slightly hot but the quality of the meat was bad, cheapest meat one probably could get. The rice was uninspired and the portions were small. The dessert was a glob of mango ice which we had to ask the waiter for because he seemed to have forgotten. The menu cost CHF 31.00. Out for five stars, I probably would give one and a half. The food was not bad, but the portions were too small and the Indian food tasted too common, too European and had no special Indian flavour. I don’t think, that I ever will return there…
