Lagan Tapas – Indian – Nottingham
Lagan Tapas marks the twentieth Indian restaurant I’ve reviewed since beginning to write about meals in Nottingham. They haven’t all been good however we’re fairly spoilt for alternative as a metropolis. This Lagan is a sister restaurant to their different website in Beeston and opened on the finish of final yr reverse Pitcher and Piano. It’s a big, trendy area that’s cut up into fairly just a few smaller areas which makes for a pleasant environment though could trigger some points, extra on that later.
As per the identify the Tapas theme exists though in fact they may name the tapas starters and or not it’s another Indian restaurant menu. In addition to the small plates they provide; many curries, a number of biryani choices, wraps and thalis. I used to be excited to see Meantime IPA on the drinks checklist, alas it had been disconnected so I used to be left with the usual Kingfisher and Cobra. I made a decision to go for ‘tapas’ given the theme of the restaurant.

Every thing arrived collectively, a vibrant array of dishes. I feel it’s arduous to beat a chaat and the samosa model right here was a beneficiant portion for £6.95. Loads of tangy tamarind reduce by way of the wealthy casing and potato contents with crunchy uncooked onion and sev noodles. Fried momo have been additionally good, notably the smoky, buttery sauce that accompanied them. Chilli paneer (£6.95) might have performed with slightly extra warmth however the peppers and onions have been pleasingly charred, a traditional mixture with the agency cheese.

I’m not sure if rooster tacos have been a latest version to the menu however I struggled to search out them on the one which seems on-line. It appears a relative discount at £6.95, for some individuals they is likely to be sufficient for a meal! It most likely was amount of high quality. The final flavour was okay however I might have performed with out a budget cheese. The accompanying sauce was actually acidic and ugly and my taco shells have been stale. One other new addition was gobi manchurian which I used to be happy to see as a perennial favorite of mine. This was most likely a fair larger disappointment. A reasonably imply portion managed to endure from soggy batter AND undercooked cauliflower. I’d a lot quite pay £2 extra for the scrumptious and constant cauliflower mountain you get at Bar Iberico.

Service had already been fairly poor however sitting with our completed plates for over 15 minutes, in addition to having to hunt somebody right down to pay the invoice, was inexcusable. The aforementioned format could have been a cause for slowness, even on this quiet midweek night? Making an attempt to look previous this the meals was usually good and I used to be impressed with the worth for cash. Bigger dishes included butter rooster at £13.95 and Biryani at £14.95. An honest chunk cheaper than its Maid Marian approach counterparts however with the inconsistencies I can’t advocate it too extremely.
