Smrat Pure Veg Chungking Ground Floor

The samosa costs 8 HK$. A standard cooked dish costs 40 HK$. I passed the time at the restaurant while the nearby laundromat was busy working.

Given the price, I found the food to be decent. It wasn't outstanding, but suitable for a fast, affordable, and satisfying lunch. I particularly enjoyed the Samosas. However, the hygiene standards could be improved.

If you can handle the atmosphere, you can enjoy a good meal here. The dish had decent flavor and was served in a generous portion. The samosa was affordable and quite tasty.

I ate at their 5th floor restaurant last time I was in HK and it's hard to believe they are the same place. I asked for the menu but was told there was no menu and to pick from the counter instead. I chose rice, lentils and paneer pea gravy then sat down... and saw my dinner being put on a plastic plate and warmed up in the microwave. Not quite what I was expecting. The food tasted ok, not as good as the other Indian food I've had in HK but I guess for $40 it wasn't bad. It was full of local customers which they often say is a good sign, but I wouldn't eat here again. Updated from previous review on 2017-07-24

Once sat in the back (unfortunately after already ordering) we could see the place was dirty. 50 Hong Kong Dollars for two small portions of curry and a couple of chapati 's. We had 4 curries between the 2 of us. They were mediocre to we aren 't eating the rest of this. We only finished about 1/2 the food served even though we were both hungry. Cooked in a microwave on a Styrofoam plate and saturated with oil. We sat at a table that was dirty expecting it to be cleaned before they would bring the food. They brought over napkins and sat them on the table with no intention of cleaning the table. We had to ask for it to be cleaned. The floor below us had food spilled on it that was never cleaned up. I went to move the sauce bottle on the table and was left with sticky, gooey hands from the uncleaned bottle. That dirty of a place at 9am I would hate to see the mess accumulated later in the day. Would I or my girlfriend eat there again? Take a wild guess!
