Review from Alfonso L.
8/16/2009
We had just arrived in Kamloops, kinda in the middle of the BC valley. We wanted something a little different. We were recommended to try Maurya's. We don't know if it was the only Indian spot in town. But if it was, then Kamloopians need to aim a little higher in their pursuits.
Clearly this is a family run business, and from the looks of things on a late Sunday night, many other Indian families were also there, chatting, serving themselves from a buffet counter. So far, so good.
The problem with Maurya's is that it's so regular. The sauces were bland and not the expected "hot", as the menu billed. The Chicken Tikka Masala was something I could have made in a few minutes --no real kick, nothing distinctive, the pieces of chicken also not too moist. The Samosas were a little too dense and had no appeal to them, even when you dipped them in sauce. The cucumber salad with carrots was underdressed, with jutting chunks of carrots pretty much taking over the whole dish.
I actually had the feeling that were we in a Mexican restaurant, the mixture for a couple of our chicken dishes really would not have been that much different from a burrito filling. It was that uneventful. There was little if any zip or freshness or even herbs in any of our dishes. Sure we ate a lot and there was plenty to go around, but honestly, this almost was Indian-lite, and had none of the zest and tang I came to expect from Indian cuisine.
