I can't say enough good about the pearl of india. Just the kind of place I need to wind down from a busy week. Food is fantastic, sauces are thick and the meat is always prepared right. Love it and highly recommend it to anyone in search of a nice quiet evening. The owners smile is more than enough to make me want to go back again and again.
Pearl of India is our favorite Indian restaurant in the national capital region. The sauces are exceptional! We often get their take-out, but also enjoy eating in the restaurant. The staff are very friendly and we have always had great service. Highly recommended!
This was the first Indian restaurant I went to when I moved to Orleans. At the time I thought it was just okay and really overpriced for what little you get. As time went on, the food seemed to get worse. I always order chicken korma, and the first time I went it was pretty good, then after that, each visit the korma sauce was really runny and watered down. Korma is NOT supposed to be thin and watery. The nan is delicious and the staff are all really nice, but they are overpriced and you can get better Indian food at a better price down the street at Rangoli's.
Perhaps this restaurant has changed hands since all those positive reviews? I could hardly believe that previous reviewers were writing about the same restaurant I visited on July 18. The "mulligatawny" soup tasted overpoweringly of chicken boullion cube and reminded me of cup-a-soup. The entrées were not unlike those Indian meals that come in foil packets and are meant to be heated in boiling water over a camp stove. The only flavour I could detect in the butter chicken, which contained four 1-inch cubes of mushy chicken, was sweet. Maybe the cook mixed in a handful of sugar and some pink food colouring by mistake? The aloo peas was grayish-yellow, overcooked and salty, with a dusty turmeric and MSG aftertaste. The rice served with the entrees was about the only redeeming factor. It was...not overcooked. And finally, I suspect the naan was made with Bisquick. Yep, lunch was cheap, and there can be no doubt why. I rarely leave food on my plate, but I did here.
My first visit a few days ago. Was very disappointed with the service and the meals. I ordered three vegetarian dishes and a meat dish. The vegetarian dishes were hastily prepared without any regard to presentation. The sauces were the same. Both dishes contained peas that were simply emptied out of the freezer - hardly flavorful at all. The meat dish was overcooked and seemed to have been prepared long before. Service was quite poor. i will not be going back to this restaurant again. Very disappointing.
