Tasting Indie Blue

Ellie, Kelli and I were out on the town Saturday night and couldn't decide on what to eat or where to go. A bottle of Cab later we decided to trek down to Collingswood ( hotbed of culinary action) to try for a table at Indie Blue which happens to be very popular in our neck of the woods. The girls suddenly developed a taste for hot and spicy, so off we went. Recently relocated to a larger space across the road from it's earlier location, Indie Blue proved to be quite chaotic while we waited for a table. Harried busboys and waiters navigated their way skillfully through throngs of waiting customers with heavily loaded trays. The hostess ( also the owner) graciously allowed us to drink our bottle of wine while we waited leaning up against the cash register. It was good to finally be seated at our reserved table a half hour later.
The menu was interesting, each description headed up by cheesy adjectives like " scrumptious" and " delicious ", but overall it was quite extensive and featured primarily North Indian dishes with a Vindaloo thrown in for good measure. I left the girls to do the ordering since they know enough about Indian food to handle it and they did pretty well. The appetizers were the best part of the meal starting with the vegetarian samosa which came with a very well made Chole( chick peas) and Tandoori Paneer in a hot and spicy sauce accompanied by mixed greens in a light dressing.
The Naans were hot, as was the saffron rice. The entrees were Sag Lamb ( read goat in a spinach sauce) Rogan Josh ( again goat in a spicy curry )and Chicken tikka in a creamy sauce. The food was fresh and well seasoned and the waitstaff polite. It was money well spent and if were to be asked for an Indian Restaurant recommendation I would not hesitate to point them in the direction of Indie Blue.
