Indian Masala Restaurant in Las Vegas

Hi All,
    Hope u all doin fine. Just came back from d Las Vegas trip. Had a blast. Stayed there for three full nights. Loved d rides, casino, esp. the infectious excitement inbound crowd. However there was one thing that we missed most. Home food!!!! Yeah I now it sounds bizarre, its just 3 days. But thats the thing bout Indian cuisine. The flavors are real strong. Keeps u addicted. We enjoyed Panda Express, Chipotle, Mc D, Subway et al. A person's got to eat three times a day, come on, after a day or two its bound to bore you.  We by chance happen to spot 'Indian Masala' restaurant, in Riviera food court, located at d end of the strip, opposite to Mc D. It was close to 1, not all items on the menu were available. We ordered Naan (Indian bread) with Chole (Chick Peas masala) and a Veg combo which had Rice, Naan, Chole again, Palak Paneer & Dal Makhani. OMG!!!!! Even at that wee hour, the freshly prepared Naan was a delight. We just gobbled on the food till we could eat no more. There are very few Indian Restaurants in the US, which have the authentic taste, although cent percent of em claim they are the best!!! Trust me, this restaurant was like the holy grail for our taste buds. We thought that since we were exhausted, our hunger could b playing mind games, but all of us were bowled over by the taste and craving to return back to this restaurant at least once more before we head home. We did make it to the restaurant a second time. All of us had our finger crossed, since we all wanted to have The King of Tiffins - 'Masala Dosa'. Things that our cravings make us do!!!! I even prayed to GOD that we had to have Masala Dosa before we leave, else his trip would b incomplete. Lo and Behold, GOD had answered our prayers. There it was, gleaming golden, roasted to the right level. Thin and crispy yet soft enough to melt in your mouth, with the perfect combination of Potato Masala.  But the winner definitely was Sambar, Yummy Yummyyyyyyyy.... The masala Dosa, chutneys and the sambar was all licked clean off the plate. Then we ordered Chai / Tea. Perfect with a hint of Cinnamon, a great kick start to our day. Hmmmm..... If this place was this good, then why didn't any of our friends discover this sooner???? Don't know, but felt like having a word with the Chef out of curiosity. We spoke to one of the Chefs, he hails from Hosur. This restaurant 's been there for three years now and response has been good too. Most of the Chefs were from Tamil Nadu, no wonder the breakfast was so yummy. And the owner was a Punjabi, the combination couldn't have been more lethal!!! :)  All said and done, we enjoyed our food a lot. If you are foodie like us, and happen to visit Las Vegas, do visit this place, it won't disappoint you. No, I did not get any compensation or free Meal for recommending this place!!!!! Its just out of love towards food. Have a great day. :)
