Back to the good old days in East London

Tulsi Indian Restaurant (North Point)
Everytime I walked past this restaurant, I have always wanted to try it because it reminds me of the Indian restaurants in East London.

I finally went there and tried their set meal for two.
Usually I am skeptical about sets because the choices are not that good and it is basically cheap items put together as a set.

There are two sets, one at $188 which includes a snack, 2 curries, a BBQ item and drinks, for $218 it has an extra item from the Special selection.

Although it sounds like a lot, the portions are not really that big.
It is pretty clear on the menu.

Tomato soup:
The soup was slightly too salty to start off with, but I liked the richness and umami taste of the tomato.

Aloo tikki, Tandoori squid, oyster masala

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Aloo tikki:

This was my favourite because there were lots of potato in it and it was slightly chewy because flour was added to it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tandoori squid

The squid was soft and tender with delicious spices.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
oyster masala

The oyster was covered in rich thick masala sauce, and it was surprising the pairing of oyster and masala sauce was good.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pilau rice

Delicious fluffy Indian rice.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetable curry

The vegetable curry was ok, but the beef curry was even better.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef curry

Although it was quite spicy, the beef was amazing, it was soft with some gelatinous membranes attached.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Naan

The naan was awesome, it was served hot and the texture of the naan was non oily, soft and chewy in the centre with some crispy surfaces.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tea

To finish off the tea was surprisingly good!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Overall, 99% of the food was delicious but not very filling.
