Reviews Carrot Indo-chinese Restaurant

HAPPY FRIED-DAY! I had to get something fried on this most beautiful day of the work week to celebrate the approaching weekend! I pass Carrot all the time and wanted to give it a try today. I decided on the Chili Chicken since I'm not shy around hot and spicy foods. I used Grub Hub to order online and the order tracker was way off so the restaurant was kind enough to try calling me to say the food had been ready for a long time. Next time, I'll just call my order in. That doesn't factor into my review because it's not, to my knowledge, the restaurant's fault. The food was still hot (temperature-wise) when I picked it up so I am not sure if they kept it warm for me but if so, that is very much appreciated. The dish is actually an appetizer but the portion was enough for a more than modest lunch. I wish I'd known about the lunch specials because I'd have probably ordered that instead (you get more bang for your buck- all lunches are served with flavored basmati rice and include a bottled water or soda for $9.99...not a bad deal!) Anyhow, back to the Chili Chicken, which is deep fried chicken sautéed with onions, bell peppers and green chilies. If you like it hot and spicy, this is your appetizer. I wasn't quite aware of just how spicy it would be. My tolerance is pretty high, but just be warned it's close to five alarm, in my tastebuds' opinion. The flavor is great though and as I said, it's a sizeable dish! The fact that the restaurant is very small and bare bones somehow gives it more authenticity, maybe because to me, it means they are more focused on the quality of their food than the frills. For you vegetarians out there (I was veg for nearly 8 years) they have a nice selection of menu items! I look forward to my next visit. There are many items on the menu that appeal to me. Just make sure you call instead of ordering online or just order at the counter window when you get there, and you'll be set. This place is definitely more of a takeout joint. Cool little spot here!

I would give this place 5 stars just for the food ambience does not disappoint! Plenty of vegetarian options and the chefs are open to amending dishes as we please. #Tandoori Fish is my new dish here. Noodles/fried Rice loaded with ample veggies and meat.

This is a small place, not fancy.. but the food is AMAZING! I also love the staff here, they are all very friendly and upbeat even at 10pm! This is my favorite place to eat Indian food, sometimes we drive to just to get their food.

First off, this is one of the best decorated take-out style restaurants I have ever seen. With faux brick walls and laminated, rich wood tables, it is as cozy as a pizza tavern and very clean. The mountain of schezwan style chicken fried rice I'm mining away at is equally fresh - not oily or salty or burdened with fatty meat. The rice is delicate long grain, the dry seasoning is peppery and satisfying, with enough veggies to hydrate the dish. And I don't know what the orange smoothie had in it (papaya, mango?) but it was earthy, fragrant, and fresh. I'm glad this is on the way to work right off 287. I will Make this a ritual for (and then dinner) here often. Awesome!

Friendly owner and chef. It's a quaint take out place with some great indo Chinese and tandoori food. Must haves include bacardi chicken, chicken lollipop, butter naan with egg dry masala, mutton pepper fry, chicken 65/majestic, noodles and fried rice. Not a great fan of the masala rice and biriyani. Definitely try the chickoo shake.
