Keep calm and curry on

These glorious dishes are going to come in 3 angles | Angle 1
One our our biggest life struggles is choosing whether to try a cool new restaurant or to revisit an old favourite. Yes, this decision pains us more than it should….we are working on it. After a few days of debating on where to satisfy our Indian craving, we decided to stick with a (new) old favourite.  Mia’s Indian Cuisine (http://www.miaindiancuisine.com) is by far the best Indian food we have EVER tried.  We like to refer to this as “legit Indian”.  We have eaten our fair share of Indian food and we both agree this is what we would consider to be authentic Indian food.  Nothing we have tasted elsewhere compares. Discovering Mia's has converted us into Indian food snobs.  We will now rank Indian food on a scale of 1 to Mia's.  

Our first visit, we ate in and started with the appetizer platter for two. This includes a mixed plate of samosa, onion bhaji, pakura, shish kebab, chicken tikka, salad and tamarind sauce. Great to get a taste of each app and perfect for sharing. There was nothing on this platter that we didn’t enjoy.  This time we also got the Tandoori chicken special and Masalla chicken, with rice and naan.  We probably over ordered and definitely over ate this time. But hey, not the first or last time that will happen.  It's also worth noting that this was one of the first restaurants we tried as a duo. It was over this meal that we decided to create Foodizens as a place to review local restaurants and post fun recipes. So not only is Mia's delicious but also a key player in our Foodizens story.  So that's a cute story.  

As you can see, we both accidentally snuck a taste | Angle 2

Our second visit, we got take-out. Vinadaloo chicken and Dansak chicken, with the obvious side of rice and naan.  Both dishes were perfectly spicy. We like it hot, but they offer mild versions of most dishes. The portion sizes are great and each meal could easily be stretched into two.  We like the challenge of stuffing ourselves beyond capacity (don’t judge, you know you do it too).  Honestly there are tons of Indian restaurants closer by yet Mia's is SO GOOD that we  drive a half hour there and back just for the food.  We have accepted that we will be getting Mia’s on the regular and can’t wait to try more. We seriously doubt we will try something we don’t like…guess that just means we need to try it all to support our theory….all in the name of science, right?  


Overall we give Mia’s Indian cuisine five out of five stars. Curry on making great Indian, Mia's.
