Tony's house is almost an Indian restaurant exclusively owned by Zhejiang University, originally opened in the Moon Moon Apartment next to the Zijingang Campus of Zhejiang University, converted from a garage, and named itself "GARAGE CAFE". After moving to the Lantian dormitory, Manulife Food City was named "Tony's house" and had a high reputation among the surrounding student groups.
Tony's house has a simple menu of Indian, Thai and Western food, with curry-based dishes ranging from 20 to 40 yuan per serving with naan. Among the non-vegetarian curries, grilled chicken masala is the most popular, Tony's house's recipe is mild, not spicy or greasy, the taste is refreshing, the flavor is soft, there is a rich creamy aroma, the chicken inside is salty and fragrant, the meat is soft and tender, but the curry aroma is not enough, and the taste is sweet. There are two other chicken curry dishes, the "Chicken Curry" and the "Butter Chicken Masala", the former is spicy and not as soft as the grilled chicken masala, and the latter has more butter and cream for a more mellow taste. In addition to chicken curry dishes, Polaiya potato beef, potato mutton and other dishes are also favored by many diners, with a spicy flavor and a solid portion. Vegetarian curries include chicken bean masala, vegetable curry, curry potato cauliflower, etc., and the dishes are affordable, only 20 to 25 yuan per course.
Curry is generally eaten with naan, Tony's house provides two kinds of naan cakes: roti and butter naan. Rye crepes are more crunchy, and both types of naan are small and thin, so you can order more sheets to accompany curry.
In addition to Indian cuisine, Tony's house also offers light Western dishes. Roast Chicken Masala, Naan and Roast Spring Chicken are called the "old three" of the restaurant, and the popularity of roasted spring chicken is not inferior to that of Indian curry, and the three pieces of skinless and boneless chicken thighs are grilled until charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat is juicy and salty. Roast spring chicken is accompanied by French fries and salad, the side dishes are of good standard, the fries are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is sweet and sour, which is very close to the taste of Chinese people. Western snacks such as chicken cheese pies, mozzarella cheese sticks, and pizza are decent, as well as plenty of Thai curries.
Tony's house, which has moved into the new location, retains the original blue and white signboard, and the environment is much more spacious and bright, with a table for four people, and the decoration is full of atmosphere. The restaurant has a high attendance rate on weekdays, and there are many foreign diners. Restaurants generally serve food quickly, and occasionally have to wait for a table during popular times, and the serving speed drops significantly when there is a lot of traffic. The number of waiters is small, there is little service to speak of, and the waiters basically do not move around the restaurant except for serving, and the diners need to go to the front desk by themselves to order.
