Virasat Indian Cuisine

Pretty nice restaurant in the UC area, they were able to accommodate my group of 12 though the restaurant is a bit smaller. The service was good, unlike the other reviews servers came to take our order, and food was good as well. Started off with lamb seekh kabobs which were really good, and chicken malai was ok as well. Got the chilli chicken, I think it def could have been spicier, and had more veggies than meat, but meat was good. Mango Lassi was actually nice and thick! For entrees, we got the kadai chicken, chicken curry, and goat curry, all pretty good. And I absolutely LOVED the gulab jamun with ice cream at the end.

The atmosphere was really nice calm and relaxing, with music low enough to enjoy a good conversation. We started with the fish pakora, which ended up being our favorite dish of the night. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The spicy, tangy chutney complemented it beautifully. For mains, we ordered Butter Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh, Goat Biryani, and a mixed basket of bread. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, the meats were tender, and the breads were fresh and not too hard. I’d rate the taste a solid 8/10. For drinks, we had tea and a mango lassi. The mango lassi was just right — not too sweet or too yogurty, with a nice mango flavor shining through. The tea was hot, aromatic, and tasted authentically Indian without any one spice overpowering the rest. Overall, great food, pleasant atmosphere, and friendly service. I’d definitely come back!
