Indian curry night with live music [Gaylord Indian Restaurant]

Indian curry is a meal that I must have each week but there are not many good ones on the kowloon side because most of it is localized.
After trying Gaylord, it is another curry haunt. They have been in HK for decades, they used to be in Central but now they are in TST.
There was live Indian music too which is good, and sounds better than Chinese opera whcih sounds like cats screeching.
We had an Indian feast that night and here was what we had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Vegetable samosas:


Inside these crispy pyramid morsels were fluffy mashed potatoes and peas, there were soft cashew nuts too.
The spiciness was light, which made it a good warm up before the spicy dishes ahead.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Sev Poori:

These were crispy bites that were appetizing drizzled with tamarind sauce, yoghurt and mint sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Paneer Tikka lajawab:


Indian cheese is different because it does not melt or smell and has a rubbery texture with a mild taste.
I liked the way it was smothered in mustard because the mustard made the cheese tasty and moreish.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Tandoori jumbo prawns:

The prawns were huge and springy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Lamb seekh kebab:


These kebabs were juicy with a strong cumin taste and other aromatic spices which was delicious with the mint sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Saag paneer:

One of my favourite curries of spinach and cheese, a light non spicy dish that is great with rice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Dal Makhani:

Another good vegetarian dish of lentils and kidney beans that is recommended for vegetarians and it is also non spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Baingan Bharta:

As well as the saag paneer, this vegetarian curry was tasty because it has a strong tomato taste and pureed aubergines.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Saffron rice:

Fluffy rice is a must with curries!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
naan with cheese:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Assorted naan:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Since the curries were quite good I think I will be back for the lunch buffets during the weekends.
