Cocina de La India

Always a satisfying meal when you dine in Cocina de La India. Today for lunch I tried three new dishes. All three were great.Gobhi Pakora and the Fish Tiki were the starters and the Thai Chicken Curry was the main dish. Real man size portions for a reasonable price.

Cocina de La India is just plain delicious. So far I must have eaten there at least 7 times and each time has been extremely enjoyable. I tried the paneer pakora for the first time and it had a creamy interior with a nice crunch on the outside. The sauces are also great with the appetizers. Butter Chicken, Chicken Masala and Onion Naan are must haves. The peas paluo is a delicious version of a rice dish.

This meal was surprisingly disappointing. I ordered the Red Chicken Curry but the chicken was inedible. Overcooked to the point a knife couldn't get through it. I sent it back and ask for a regular chicken curry that was acceptable but not up to their usual standard. Trying something different, I ordered the paneer paratha, which may have been what it should be, but really was not to my liking. I hope the kitchen takes note of the flaws and that this is just a one time glitch.

I've been to Cocina de La India many times, but I think today's meal was the best yet. This time I had the Chicken Masala and it was perfect. The flavors were on point with just enough heat that I didn't need to request additional picante. The chicken was cooked well and not dry. The Onion Naan was better than usual. Seriously, way too good.

Cocina de la India is the place to go to for consistent quality good Indian Food. In fact, it's just good food! Nothing is bad. The butter chicken is always great. The samosas are delicious. We tried the onion pakora, and we're all pleased. The Naan is a perfect companion to the sauces. Chicken Tiki Masala is another go to choice. Cocina de la India never fails.
