Where is the Best Martini in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania?
At first, the atmosphere really draws you in. After sneaking a peak at a few plates, you can’t help get excited to eat here. Then your food comes. I got the vegetable samosas and while they came out warm, regardless if they were not piping hot, they still were a bit disappointing. This is coming from someone who had real samosas in India. The filling was nicely whipped, but in terms of kick and flavor it failed. At the price you pay, you should expect something that would come at least close to what real Indian fair should be.

Our food was delicious, nicely presented, fresh, mostly authentic, fairly priced and plentiful. But the wine and mojitos were grossly overpriced and the place became excessively noisy. Following the complimentary freshly baked tiny rolls with herbed olive oil, we shared the Alma sampler (for two) as an appetizer. Everything on it was excellent. Our Cuban companion confirmed that the Vaca…
