Shami (349 Sembawang Road, tel : +65 6754 3898) is a local Indian eatery of a small fame up in the northern parts of this country that makes a mean fiery red chicken masala with a spicy nutty paste. They used to be just a stall in the food court at Northpoint with a history for long queues. The food in recent times has become somewhat inconsistent. The same might be said for their queues. Not too long back, they set up shop along Sembawang somewhere across the road from Khatib Camp.
The quality of the food I was told, is better here these days compared to the stall in the food court. It's something that I cannot deny or confirm. If this is an up in quality, does that mean that the one from the food court stall has truly fallen?
fish cutlet
These balls of minced fish and potato were pretty tasty. As much as I'm avoiding comparison here, Samy's uglier looking ones were much better than these.
butter chicken
No complains about the butter chicken, but this will like never beat Jaggi's.
Chennai cabbage?
lentils and beans
briyani
Orders of rice came with two choices of vegetables. The rice didn't seem to be as good as I remember them. Those vegetables were apparently nothing much to write home about neither.
mutton masala
Kashmiri and cheese naan
Naans were rather small serving and lacked fluffiness. Felt somewhat run of the mill. I suppose that's how they do these here.
deep fried fish roe
We loved those freshly fried fish roe. So much that after dinner, we did a portion for take away as after dinner snacks! Sadly, these seem to come by uncommonly these days.
gobi manchurian
These stir fried cauliflowers were not the most memorable.
