“I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to Indian food, so I did the basic thing and ordered what I saw everyone else on the internet get: Buttered Chicken and garlic Naan. Honestly, it was delicious. I ordered it with a level 3 spice, should have gone hotter, but I'm not a complete rookie and know there's a difference between Asian hot and American hot. It came with like some source of herb-sauce... not sure what I was supposed to do with it, but it was great. There's no seating, so that can be a bit of a challenge (we went across the street to Down to Earth). The service was great, the guy there was very sweet. It looks like they're still trying to get on their feet, but overall, I'd go back & try other menu items!“
“I heard that it was delicious, so I finally went there♪It seems like you can't make a reservation.Fill out your name and contact information and wait at the entrance.Please contact me when it's my turn. I askedWait in the car ?Since there were only two of us, we couldn't order a lot of different kinds ?For the curry, try Spice Up Special's Chicken Tikka Masala curry with medium spiciness.Curry comes with rice, soThe two of us also ordered naan.For the side, I ordered a cauliflower called Lasuni Gobi, which I didn't really understand. (by husband)The cauliflower was a poisonous color, but it was sour and had a ketchup-like (?) flavor that was delicious.The curry is moderately spicy and delicious✨Is naan also saffron? The rice was also delicious?I think I'd like to go with a larger group next time...The one mistake was the Salted Lassi that my husband ordered! ! !It's not just salt but also spices, making it quite addictive ?I thought I could drink it with curry, but I tried my best to finish it, but I don't think I can...Mango lassi is peaceful and delicious?“
“It's cool when you have colleagues who are foodies. You see, I work in a large office where you get to witness and smell the various foods that colleagues have during lunch time. Several weeks ago, a colleague mentioned Indian curry which piqued my interest as I do enjoy Indian food. The mentioning of eggplant and boiled egg curry really got my attention and I just had to investigate. Luckily, several colleagues were going to Lasoon, that specializes in Indian and Nepali cuisine, so I jumped on the bandwagon and ordered what was well liked amongst my colleagues. I have never been to Lasoon but found out they are located inside the University of Hawaii inside the Paradise Palms Food Court. They opened in Aug 2018 that also offers vegetarian options. One of my colleagues just raves over the boiled egg curry which I've never had before. To be frank, I've never heard of boiled eggs in curry dishes before, so I just had to give this a try. Follow them on IG for their daily specials, which lists their proteins and sides options. After submitting my order, I waited patiently for my colleague to return. THE VERDICT: I do understand the "Curry in a hurry." concept as this business is in the university and this grab-and-go carryout food exceeded my expectations. I'm no expert in Indian cuisine but I do appreciate the various spices used for their curries. Although this dish sounded odd to me, the boiled egg curry (Thursday special) works. Your mouth is familiar with the texture of boiled eggs, which are sliced in half lengthwise and cooked in a powerful curry sauce. For my palate, I didn't find the heat powerful, and this dish was just right for me. For those who know me, I'm not a fan of long grain rice but do like Basmati rice with curries. Solid dish. I also ordered the butter chicken which was okay but nothing to write home about. Chicken thighs are cut in large chunks and cooked prior before adding them into the curry sauce. I did appreciate the amount of food served but the flavors didn't really seep into the chicken. For the sides I sampled the cabbage, chickpea, and okra (also Thursday special) and I enjoyed both the cabbage and okra. Food was tasty and good volume served here. I also got their samosas, and I reheated them in the toaster oven and work and it was pretty good for fast food. I also got extra plates to surprise my family and they really enjoyed the food. Favorite niece by default and favorite nephew by default both commented on the tasty food from Lasoon and gave thumbs up. I did another attempt with Lasoon and sure didn't disappoint. This round we tried the lamb curry that was a winner. Most pieces were tender and flavorful. Loved the okra so it's a plus to order on Thursdays. I also got the spicy boiled egg curry that satisfied my tummy. Tip: reheat the roti and samosa for optimal quality. Absolutely satisfying. Overall, pleasant experiences at Lasoon where I'm game on getting their food again. I don't go to the University but luckily work with colleagues who appreciate good food and patronize Lasoon regularly where I get to submit my food order and have it delivered to my desk.“
“I am definitely a big fan of Indian food since my first taste of homemade Indian curry and freshly baked naan bread while in college. It was a great way to start the holiday season now that I think about it since my first time happened during Christmas break. A little nest in Ala Moana Center called Himalayan Kitchen is serving Nepalese-Indian fused dishes. In all honestly, I am not familiar with Nepalese food but according to my research. They use a lot more vegetables.If you are going to eat here, you have to start your journey with the appetizers like the Himalayan spring rolls and samosas which are similar to dim sum but lightly fried with a balanced filling of chicken and vegetables.The shrimp salad is healthy, delicious and highly recommended for it compliments any meal with fresh vegetables and wonderfully sauteed shrimp.The garlic naan bread and rice matched the hearty flavor of the lamb vindaloo equally. Follow this up with a mango-yogurt smoothie drink known as a lassi as your dessert or beverage, you won't be disappointed.If you want something different, I recommend this place for food that warms the soul.“
“I had originally ordered a delivery through DoorDash, but some of my order was missing. I called them and he was so kind and willing to help make sure I was happy.He helped me think of ways to make the problem right, even if it had been on DoorDash, and not on their restaurant. I went to pick up a replacement item and he was very understanding and totally wanting to help make me satisfied. Very friendly staff. And amazing food!“
