There are some places that you can walk into and determine how good the food is going to be, just by the smells you experience. When I first stepped into Marigold Maison I knew that I was in for a complete sensory experience.I admit that I have not fully delved into Indian food and that my experiences have been, sadly, limited. After my lunch I felt as though I had been cheating myself. I left enamored by the food, culture and customs. I had the pleasure of being led through the menu by Executive Chef Sunil Kumar. My lunch was peppered with explanations of dishes, their origins along with personal stories and it was the perfect way to immerse myself into all aspects of the food.The restaurant space is open, bright and cheerful. The kitchen is visible while still being tucked out o the way, allowing for all of those great smells to waft through the entire space. The large front windows allow for a lot of light to come in, which warms up the space and makes it seem a but larger than it it.Their full menu features dishes from all regions of India, so no matter what you are looking for, you are bound to find it. Youll find a variety of street foods, Southern Indian specialties as well as Tandoori specials. Chef Sunil has incorporated some of his family dishes as well as others that he has encountered from his many travels all over India. He shared with me that he has created this menu out of a desire for restaurant guests to be wowed by the complete experience to the point where they go home and dream about their meal and rave to their friends. He has succeeded in crafting a base for all of those things to happen.In order to ensure that they are providing the best possible dishes to their guests, Chef Sunil will order dishes from other Indian spots and have the staff compare presentation and taste to that of their menu items. This is a testament to the dedication he has to guests experiences.And then theres the food. All that glorious food, waiting to be explored. Like I said, the menu explores every corner of India and you would be doing yourself a disservice to miss any of those corners. I started my meal with the Dosa and a variety of dipping sauces. I took my time meandering through the sauces to ensure that I reveled in each and every flavor. I was presented with tamarind, mint, raita and vindaloo sauces. While all of the sauces were outstanding, my favorite would have to be the vindaloo. There was a strong heat, but not the kind that blows your face off disabling your taste buds all together. There is heat, without a doubt, but its a heat that allows you to feel a slight burn while also experiencing all the flavor it imparts. There are so many spices that make up vindaloo and in looking at the list you might think that the specific flavors would get muddled, but they join together to create a whole new flavor with that same sense of familiarity.Up next came some house-made Naan. I was served a special creation, half garlic and half spice. The combination provided an opportunity to try two separate varieties and to test which paired best with the sampling of entrees that I received. The Saag Spinach (my overall favorite) is a flavorful blend of mustard greens, broccoli, spinach, ginger, garlic and fenugreek. The texture is perfection and the naan is the perfect delivery system, ensure that you can dig into every nook ad cranny to get every last bit. The Tikka Masala is a classic with Tandoori roasted chicken cooked in tomato sauce, a little cream, cashew paste and fenugreek. The flavor will remind you of everything that you ever learned about India in school. The Goan Vindaloo combines wine, red chilis, curry leaves and mustard seeds to create a smooth and slightly spicy soup like base that infuses into your selected protein. The Dal Makhani is a rich and comforting combination of black urda lentils, chana lentis, red kidney beans simmered with ginger, garlic, tomato, cream and cumin seed creating, basically, the best vegetarian chili youve never had.I also had the opportunity to try out their Mango Salad, Lamb Chops, Masala Dosa, Paneer and Shrimp Tikka and the required Mango Lassi. All of the dishes here are worth your time and deserve to be explored. Even if you have never tried Indian cuisine, you will find all of the dishes here prepared with love and attention to the traditions from which they came.
Strange thing is Though it is Desi restaurant( of course owners are Desi people) , americans are the staff here. They are well aware about our dishes and spices. Items tastes good. You wont get dum biryani here, it will come like biryani mixed with curry. But it tastes nice. For a change to dum biryani, we can taste this biryani for a while. No regrets
The gol gaps/lani puri and mango lassi was so yummy! I also ordered the vege tikka Masala and the panjabi bharta which were only okay…they needed more reasoning. The service was good and our waiter was really nice! Will go back.
Excellent food with good service. Enjoyed lunch on a Friday afternoon. Ordered a lunch platter with chicken. The platter had several flavorful selections. Just the right portions. Thoroughly enjoyed lunch.
Everything we ordered was delicious. Especially the chicken tikka masala. Highly recommended.
Heavenly food, good service. Indian food must be as close to what they eat in heaven. I have been making it at home and eating it at restaurants for over three decades. I seldom find anything that comes up to my favorite homemade dishes, but Marigold Maison surpasses. I have been there twice, once for dinner and once for lunch, both were fabulous. Lunch includes everything from salad to rice pudding. I ordered the lamb vinaloo and curry. The salad was original and tasty, the vinaloo and curry just the right spice, I ordered it hot and they delivered it with just the right amount of heat. My husband asked for his dinner to be spicy and when it wasn’t enough, they gave him a sauce to mix in, which was perfect. Everything was wonderful. The lentil soup needs a little more substance, but I love lentil soup anyway it is fixed. For dinner I had tandoori chicken, and it was the best I have ever had. Go, go, you will find nirvana! I love this little place.
Lentil soup was bland. I thought it was over priced for lunch. The chicken curry was good, but they asked if we wanted to add vegetables for an extra $2. The service was good.
