The second establishment I've been to under the Davao Food Trip was Taj Minar. It's an Indian Restaurant in Damosa. The food is good. You know they're not scrimping on the ingredients. And the quality of said ingredients is also not bad. It's not that spicy for an Indian restaurant, but if one is trying to reach a wider audience, I think the spiciness of their food is just fine: not too hot but still unmistakably Indian. The ambiance is also very good, but the best thing about it is our friendly host. The owner of Taj Minar, Mr. Zafar, I believe, was a really accommodating host. He explained to us the various herbs used and how the different dishes were prepared.
We had this spicy crunchy unleavened bread for appetizers, and seafood curry for our main course. Oh, and we had chicken curry, too. Very good. Interesting thing about the seafood curry is they put cinnamon sticks and cardamom in it, which gave the dish a hint of something exotic and different about it. We had a really sinful dessert, which was very misleading. You'd think it was an ordinary fudge bar with pumpkin seeds and cherries, but no, it was actually a really rich pudding-like dessert with cardamom and other spices. We topped the meal off with a cup of Chai. My only complaint is the iced tea. It tasted like ice pop.
Well, I like the resto. The prices are actually good.
