In Short – The interior may not be pretty, but in-the-know diners flock here for mouthwatering, authentic fare. The menu is packed with tandoori dishes, a generous selection of vegetarian eats, and several different kinds of naan. The chicken tiki masala comes smothered in a rich, creamy sauce, while the mutter paneer--peas in curry sauce with hunks of cheese--offers a subtle kick. Top off your meal with a sweet mango lassi or masala tea.

Our delivery never showed up

by potrerochick

I heard this place was good but... We placed an order on 8/7/06 and it never showed up. We waited an hour and 15 minutes before calling. I called for another 1/2 hour and it was busy each time. Then I finally heard a ring, but there was no answer. After 2 hours, we just microwave a dinner, because we were too hungry to do anything else. They NEVER showed up or even called to say they weren't coming. I'm glad we didn't pay with a credit card. I'm also glad there were just two of us and not a big group because you can't have guests waiting 2 hours for food that doesn't show.

Pros: I HEARD the food was good.
Cons: But since the food never showed up, I wouldn't know.

Authentic, inexpensive Indian fare - a hidden gem!

by annapurnafoodie

Most Indian places flavor their food using heavy cream and butter, but Alhamra flavors its delicious fare with authentic Indian spices. Therefore, their food is spicy and tasty, but not as heavy as most other Indian restaurants. This is how food is cooked in a traditional North Indian or Pakistani home. Try the matter paneer, it's delicious! Also, the lunch special is a steal at around $5. Enjoy a cup of freshly made (and complimentary) masala chai tea at the end of your meal. This chai is the typical tea served in most Indian homes. Although the service is less-than-friendly, this type of service is what is found in typical restaurants in India. It's a reflection of cultural differences. The service is just as authentic as the food.
