Last week we went to the Glencoe Club on a team building excursion. We played bowling and then headed to their pub for dinner. Our waitress was nice and there was a wide array of foods to select.
I picked the butter chicken because I was talking about it with my coworker a couple days prior and had been craving it ever since. Yup, I picked an Indian dish at a pub, so smart. Especially since after I ordered, my boss asked the waitress how is the butter chicken and her response was some people like it, some don't. Oh well. I already made my choice.
Our food took a while to arrive, especially mine. Everyone got their dishes and begun to eat before they noticed I haven't got mine yet. Everyone had to stop and watched the kitchen doors for my dish to arrive. I felt bad and told them to eat but they wanted to wait so we can all eat at the same time. Finally my food arrive, and it didn't seem too bad.
The naan bread was soft and chewy, just the way I like it. The butter chicken was big chunks of chicken, it was also so tender that it was easy to break apart. Normally at Indian buffets, the chicken are in small chunks and they tend to be overcooked. I found the sauce is in desperate need of salt. I usually prefer light salt on my dishes, but this was too bland, even for me. The sauce also seemed to be lacking in some spices. Though having my boss saying the sauces just comes in packs and they just warm it up in hot water doesn't help. What he said may or may not be true, but that is what I get for ordering Indian food at a pub.
Overall, I liked the naan bread and the big pieces of chicken. But for the price, it would be better to go get it from an Indian restaurant, it would be more authentic.
Side note, I love that they give rock sugar sticks for coffees. It was pretty cute. I was going to steal my coworker's but she had to turn it around to stir in her sugar so I didn't want to bring home a sticky stick. Also, I have no use for it... Oh well. I will find it somewhere some day.
