Malabar Hill Elmsford,NY

Vindaloo Vindication
After a two year hiatus from this Indian eatery-reason:my friend found two live roaches in his nan-I was able to overcome my reservations(pun) and give this place another try. The new management has made great improvements to the decor and the new menu was inventive and enticing. They also have interesting vegetarian selections, and vegan choices which don't use ghee. The spicy Chicken Vindaloo and the Tandoori basket were both great, with none of the Indian food hangover typical of so many places. A full page beer menu includes choices from Belgium, Germany, and some interesting choices from Asia. I tried the Indian Taj Mahal, a good pilsener which was able to calm the gentle fire unfolding from the Vindaloo. Service was excellent as well.
