"GastroGuide Getötter in advance (for criticism, as always just scroll down a little.... The Monday of the last week should begin as every week start in the last few months: Before the agile home worker Mr. Shaneymac started his laptop and among other things with the well-dosed whip and whip more or less willing programmers, there was a morning routine with a careful part of pseudo-yoga – favorite exercise: “The rest of the bear” – followed by a beautiful cup. The person then also initiated the planning of the working week to start, among other things well motivated by my slightly overcrowded target agreement for the past financial year and its favorable financial impact, I sent invitations and agreed various topics in Microsoft teams. About half eleven, the moment came when I chose the coveted “Workers Fail of the Month” Award, because I noticed a small but not inconspicuous entry in my Outlook calendar, a full-day appointment – that brings Outlook to the day view, you want to overlook it – with the exciting title “Vacation Peter”. I have actually looked at one, two seconds that is the new name cuvette in our team – the holidays of the closest colleagues are in all calendars – before I suddenly arrived that I was meant for myself. In the Heimwerker working world, which is now finished with a great routine, I had simply shifted this holiday day completely strategically between annual holidays and Christmas, absolute world premiere for me in more than 20 years of work. Well, while I was still somewhat unbelievable if my stupidity had an appointment in the afternoon and set up my automatic holiday reaction in Outlook, I thought about how to live the unrepealed leisure time in the proven mix of contemplation and hedonism. The means of choice was once again referred to as “going to eat” which, however, sounds lighter on a Monday afternoon in my country line than it is done, all that I have opened its doors when at all the evening, but most only on Tuesday. But after a slightly resigned quarter of an hour rum on the side of a well-known global “GG competitors” the rescue should be obvious: the Royal Punjab, my Indian favorite from Cologne and Leverkusen had opened a new deposit in Langenfeld some time ago and the opinions and photos on the net I promised the same happy level as the other place I had already remembered. For a long time, we were no longer there, and Madame, who liked this kitchen, was happy about my proposal and so we went on the way to the friendly neighboring city, which, thanks to the improved location in Landwehr around the A3 motorway, also no longer represented a car anxiety, the lasting thawing of the past was an interpretation. The restaurant was reached soon after a short walk and already the rumors that woke up from the open entrance door brought one into the very inexhaustible variety of the culinary world of the Indian subcontinent already there, we knew that it was really not a bad idea to be a guest overdue today... Parking can be called relaxed here, in the immediate vicinity there are several parking spaces where I decided today because of the pretty good weather for the parking lot of the Sparkasse, so a few welcome minutes walk were needed before we arrived at the destination of our vows. From the outside, the restaurant makes a latent gloomy impression that could be at glazing, inside there can be no speech of a dark cave, but also a touch of nude with a dash folklore can be held here. But even if a background music suitable for us through the spice fragrances in the air, the Bollywood and the corresponding phenotype of the young man, who welcomes us after entering something bloody, is already offered a good part of the “Indian immersion”: a little more India in the ambience should still be without naturally falling into hysterical Decowahn à la “golden dragon in the foyer” as in the 80. However, there is a certain parallel to those already for years, namely that the similar epic cards that we will soon be handed over are supplemented with a lunch offer that is aligned in the price and part of the guest wishes at this time. Otherwise, when scrolling through the fully laminated A5 “books” I quickly realized that one offers exactly the same as in the other houses. This should make it easier to find out how fish and meat split up on appetizers and main food: we ordered and as usual the desired degree of sharpness for the curry dishes from service was asked, there are five levels from mild to strong. A mango Lassi (3,90€ in a beautiful copper cup, well cooled, but slightly thinner in the consistency than I used it by Leverkusen, which could be due to the fact that it is held here with constant stirring in a corresponding machine that I do not know from the other industry – tastefully still very nice. Mango Lassi I find a herbes beer very suitable for these dishes and with Kingfisher and Cobra there are two Indian barley juices to offer here, but as I had to drink unmatched alcohol at noon and still drive, I was nothing but dissatisfied with my soon-beating copper cup with a hammer beat look – perhaps he is also a new incarnated golf ball. Madame received a Bionade, the 0.33l bottle to Fair €2.90. Since it should be almost 2 pm, the place was hardly visited, besides us still a gentleman in the middle of fifty and a very interested lady similar ages of the type "Oberstudierätin mit Hippie Past", who was constantly merciful to the pitiful, rather latent inconsistent waiter with exalted pre-exposed questions to eat: (from below she comes to her glasses) – “Is it actually green? I would like Gernot Hassknecht to show up and had her usual charming speech and answer.... Since a few dishes pre-ordered in the outdoor area for picking up by phone and was preferred by the supposedly economical kitchen at that time, the serving of our appetizers should take almost half an hour that I felt like too long, especially since we had nothing really elaborately ordered: appetizers Onion Bhaji – 5,50€ Tandoori Seekh€ Kebab Onion Bhaji Onhaji I chose Imli Ki, a Tamarind Chutney, who perfectly matched the onions with his slightly herbal sweets. I believe you cook here with Jaggery, the unprocessed sugar has a very typical taste of my own, as an Indian cook told me on a India trip in early 2017 when it was a similar bath. mint sauce (left and chilisauce) (top Imli Ki (right and right) The second dive was a chili sauce that deserved its name and I, like the others, already knew from Opladen. In terms of sharpness, she fulfilled her purpose, only a little deeper I would still wish her. The very thin mint sauce is actually one of the kebabs, but her freshness made Madame not only excellent among the delicious onions. The Seekh Kebabs should bring a current coal-grilled notes and also with the ground lamb Kebabs at the spit was a pronounced topic. Tandoori Seech Kebab The nose should not have led the palate around them, a small fireworks of garlic, ginger, coriander, mint, chili and onions, due to the juice, I could well imagine working with melted butter in the mass. In Leverkusen these were always sharpened so that my constant accompaniment after the first probation at this time about half a day, that would have beaten them all food, today everything was good for them and from the other side of the table was also great satisfaction to hear after they had tasted a bite. Due to the huge Onion Bhaji share, we asked to pack the rest as there were more than half on the plate. This was done by our otherwise rather inconspicuous waiter who otherwise worked with his phone at the bar with preference, very happy and in the evening we realized that even the dives individually packed and freshly filled, very nice. After this ideal waiting time it went with the most important dishes, a tealight-fired small bowl of warmer found on the table and kissed from their close arrival... Main dishes Chicken Curry (daily card – 8,90€ Fish Goan Curry – 14,90€ Madame had opted for a offer of lunch card with Butter Naan, I chose one of my favorite currys with Basmati rice, again hanging a beguiling scent bell above the table. Before I devoted myself to my court, I liked to try out the chicken cure, whose sauce describes the card in general. Chicken Curry (Meeing Card) And that had nothing to do with the fact that you usually imagine in this country when you read “Curry Sauce”. A whole symphony of various impressions is available: laurel, carnations, ginger, garlic, onion, tomatoes, coriander, masala paste and a hint of cinnamon I have heard. The meat had not fallen dry as it seemed to originate from the throats, imho for such dishes much more harmonious than breast meat, very satisfied with their butter Nan hanting my companion to work. Butter Naan The Naan may be more than in Leverkusen, but these are insignificant nuances, especially since my last visit three years. My curry creation from the favorite goal of hippie was certainly four or five times in the past, it just tastes too good. Fish Curry I do not want to mention the same spices that form the basis for the curry and together with coconut milk and mango lead to a very balanced taste. In addition, a heart-shaped, aromatic fish, whose pleasant bite fits perfectly with a curry dish, I was very satisfied. The accompanying basmatiry was typically aromatized with cloves, laurels and star anise and, as expected, was the ideal typical country – at least after the cliché, India is so huge that the term itself forbids – supplement. Both portions can be called "generös" again, after about one third we both looked at and decided that it was a very good idea to pack the rest against our other habits and have an extremely comfortable dinner together with the onions. Also this wish was only too much fulfilled by the really very nice waiter after I made it with gestures that remind the nautical flag alphabet to increase the view of his smartphone. By the way: dinner in the evening should be great, the onions were washed again nice in the oven and the currys tasted almost better than at noon, plus a nice cold Chardonnay Weißburgunder, great. I could, as it is almost everywhere today, pay at the table by phone, the adoption was friendly, although sometimes a little bloody, perhaps also a mentality question in the sense of the lived courtesy, the operetta appearance of the Greeks, where you come as a stranger and after three minutes the feeling of being lost decades ago, beloved acquaintances, you don't need every day, or almost never. It was noticeable that there was no Pan Mukhwas for refreshment after meal, a cereal mixture of fennel, anise and sesame, which can be baked sparingly to refresh the mouth and which was always served in Leverkusen after meal, can of course also have pandemic reasons. We went through the surrounding shops and made ourselves happy on the way back to Solingen, the small way around was a good idea, we agreed. Conclusion I rated the Leverkusen house here in 2015 with four stars for the kitchen and I also want to treat it. For local conditions a good, recommended Indian restaurant without whether or not. Only that there is a little more I in India and my many professional abtechists in Great Britain between 2014 and 18, but I don't want the Royal Punjab. Despite all the basic kindness, I would like to rate the service only with three stars in the packaging of food, quite wordcarg was the phone ever more interesting than the guest and it took several minutes until he noticed me, but the satisfaction was asked. Three stars. The ambience that I perceived as something cool, which can also lie on corona and lack of decoration, in the overall picture good 3.5 stars. Cleanliness without tadel, a corona form per table that was moved immediately after filling, large table intervals, 5 stars to the counter. I see the PLV with good four stars, you get a good counter value for your money and depending on what you choose, you can really call it cheap. In the overall picture it comes to smooth four stars and references, especially on my conclusion on the kitchen: It is very easy to eat in Germany badly and at the “better” it should be very thin at least in my region. Last but not least a word for the new lockdown: It is tragic for gastronomy and I do not want to miss what could make sense and what could not be, because no one seems to be clear at the moment when we consider the obvious arbitration procedures behind some measures. Therefore, the title of this criticism, this examination can be quickly directed to us, to the gastronomy in relation to our guests and, despite all this, the view can always be directed forward without constant, humble look into the mirror. In this sense, despite all GG, learning a good and healthy time, now the Take Away Festival begins again, I am excited...."
