There are a few restaurants that I frequent based on the selection, service, and atmosphere. I am a creature of habit and incredibly loyal. Once I find a place that I love, I continue to eat there. Most of which can be seen on my instagram (@ashleybasla) account, but I will now include formal reviews. It is important to find establishments that offer quality meals to save us home cooks from the kitchen every once in a while.
Also, important to note that the restaurants we will include offer menus for vegetarians, celiacs, vegans and those with special dietary restrictions. In the same way that it feels comforting being a part of a club, it is comforting to visit an establishment where the people know you, your order and the fact that you love the cooking!
For authentic, delicious Indian cuisine, try Shagun Fine Indian Restaurant in Collegeville, PA- only an hour outside of Philadelphia. Each time I either order takeout or sit down, I have the Aloo Gobi (cauliflower and potatoes), Baingan Bharta (eggplant and tomatoes) and fluffy Coconut Rice. The dishes are hearty, flavorful and ultimately scrumptious, each packed with spices that are sure to satisfy your craving.
As for the service and atmosphere. Each employee is sweet and friendly, genuinely interested in the quality of each dish brought before you. Families are welcome and encouraged with long tables for large parties. Special events can be hosted in the warm and comfortable space. This Valentine’s Day, Shagun is hosting a romantic candlelight dinner from 5-10 pm where each table will receive complimentary wine and delicious specials!
Please leave a comment after you visit Shagun and let me know what you think!
