Shut it Down Hizzy this place is too good! Our theme: eating in seedy areas. We like our food spiced with a touch of DANGER!
Some would consider the Hillcroft area risky. However, this place may be worth the risk. London Sizzler, off the Southwest Freeway, is far from seedy. Our culinary tour guide and part-time waiter, Billy, was more than happy to explain the ins and outs of each Indian dish. For serious! He knows all the ingredients and preparation of everything on the menu! A true first for us.
The dinning room is really small: no more than 15 tables. And we were definitely part of the early crowd at 7pm. It quickly filled up with actuall Indian people. A sure sign of authentic deliciousness. It's considered British Indian but there was more Indian than Brit in our tummies. Although they have fried rice, stick to the Indian dishes.
We ordered the Chili Manchurian, little vegetable dumplings in a really delicious sauce. Upon our further inspection, we found entire jalapeno slices in there which deathly caught up with us in the end. The Chicken Boom Masala Platter was absolutely scrumptious and very spicy. Not like OMG my mouth is burning hot. More like an explosion of different spices on your taste buds.
They put green chili and tamarind on the table to go with your meal. The tamarind was sweet and sour(YUM) but the green stuff was deadly. Seriously, wait for it to hit you 20 seconds after. The tandoori naan was a delectable compliment to the meal but the pilau rice was a leave out option.
I recommend London Sizzler to all our Maharajahs. So jump in your tut-tut and strap on your bullet proof vest and journey to Hillcroft.

how many times do you eat out each week? Where do you go for comfort food?
ReplyDeleteWell, we try not to eat out more than once a week 'cause we have to watch our waistlines and tend to get carried away with over eatig. Our comfort food is definitely Mexican. Los Cucos, Taco Cabana (on a cheap day), Pappasito's, Guadalajara, Los Tios. We've made the rounds. We usually order Nachos or Beef Fajitas with Chili con Queso.
ReplyDeleteDo not distress about the lack of new posts. We are eating out tonight and will write promptly of the yummies in our tummies!
