I love Indian food!!! In my recent trip to Alaska, I had to have
some, I was in withdrawal. Problem was, I couldn't find any such
restaurant until I went to Anchorage. I was informed that the
Bombay Deluxe was the only Indian restaurant in all of Alaska.
I wasn't disappointed.We were the only anglos in the restaurant
-- a good sign. While a little hard to find, Bombay Deluxe is located
in the Valhalla Center, home of a few Korean shops. Not a great
area of town, but it was worth the trip. This restaurant exceeds
your normal Indian menu. Sure, there are the pakoras (both chicken
and two vegetable types), but there are 10, yes 10 different varieties
of fresh indian breads. We tried the raita, a refreshing yogurt
dip with tomato and cucumber. Outstanding! There were different
tandoori dishes all cooked in an authentic tandoor (clay oven).
The curries were too numerous to count. I enjoyed a mild lamb curry
and mattar paneer (homemade indian cheese and peas in a tomato
curry). Combination dinners are available for $16 -- way too
much food for one individual, each dish was excellent. Try the
dal, a lentil and kidney bean soup. It was hearty and filling.
I could have made a meal on just dal and one of the stuffed breads.
I also had Gulab Jaman for dessert. It was a deep fried sweet cheese
ball in a sugar, honey and rosewater syrup. Again, an outstanding
dish. Confused as to what to order? (There are more than 50 dishes
on the menu). Just walk around and look at others food, like I did,
or ask the knowledgeable waitstaff. They will help you select
a variety of authentic dishes and cook them to your heat/spice
tolerance. Now I know why there is only one Indian restaurant
in AK -- nobody can compete!
