Craving Indian Food or want to try it for the first time?



When ever my hubby and I can sneak away for a few minutes to get a bite to eat with out any kids along our favorite stop in Lakewood may well be Great Cuisine of India.

The menu is varied and authentic and well priced. From what I can tell from the dishes we have ordered they are pretty accurate when it comes to mild, med, and spicy. I have not had the experience of anything being way spicier than I would like any time I have ordered there. My favoite is the Lamb Saag, This dish is made with spinach, lamb, onino, garlic, ginger and tomatoes.

The Daals ( dishes with lentils) are wonderful as well just in a soup or as an entire entree.

For those of you who are vegetarian, you will be happy, a large selection awaits you. 15 full entrees that are vegetarian grace their menu, 4 of the appetizers are vegetarian as well.as 3 selections under soups and salads.

If you have not eaten Indian food before you may not have tried Naan. Naan is a mildly leavened bread with a soft chewy texture. My hubby's favorite is the plain Naan, which couples well with any of the dishes. The great thing is at no matter what your tastes are there is a Naan there you will like and maybe you will like several, there are 10 to choose from. Can't decide? Just order the bread basket with an assortment of Naans.

You have even more choices with your entr'ees, choose from plentiful choices made with Chicken, Lamb or Seafood in addition to the many vegetarian choices. Want something a little sweet to top it off. Here you will not be bored nor disappointed either. Choices include Coconut Walnut Ice Cream, Rose Coconut Ice Cream and Mango Custard and more, most of which you have likely never heard of.

On a budget? Not sure what to order? Show up between 11am and 2:30pm week days and Noon to 3pm on the weekend and have the $8.99 Lunch buffet. Try a little of everything and if you don't order a drink you can have lunch for 2 for under $20.

Want dinner instead? Great Cuisine of India is open again from 4pm on week days and on 3pm on the weekend for dinner, just be sure to get them before it's too late, Great Cuisine is open til 9pm Mon-Thursday and til 9:30 Fri-Sunday.

See you there!
