Morgans Harbour March 15, 2011

What a view. Apart from the idiot with the wave runner, the view, the sights and the sounds of this deck are unbelievable. The eclectic furniture and the impecable service are as fresh as that North Sound Breeze that comes through. You have to look a little closer to find some faults at this restaurant.
Predominantly seafood, Morgans’ menu has the range of food that all islanders, be it local or tourist, would crave. Ceviche to daily catches presented on a chalkboard. Seriously, nearly every type of fish is covered – event though the menu is pretty small.
There is even a Jerk burger – homemade – how it should be – to appease all those who are fussy. The bartender is the driest thing in this place. He needs to move on or realise that this is the customer service industry. Come on… Come on… Smile… I dare you.

There is a great atmosphere on the deck outside which is where we moved to. We are glad we did. Being told to take our time, we have all day. I finally appreciated island time for what is was worth. the knowledge of the server, you could tell, was extensive and I appreciated the small things like, we dont have deep fat fryers, our Chef refuses. The ‘fried’ potatoes were to die for.

Careful at the prices. They can run you a little high. Nothing too unfamiliar in Cayman though.
It’s refreshing. It isn’t Seven Mile. You are not churned in and out. You are ‘welcomed’. You are told that you should be here. I wish I could stay.
Stick to it Morgan’s. I know many people that enjoy going there. I am now one of the converted.

Finally!!! An Indian int he Cayman Islands that allows you to taste the real and authentic food that is associated with a good Indian. Before we get ahead of ourselves though, we need to make sure that all the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed. 

A good Indian needs to travel well and needs to be virtually as fresh as it would be in the restaurant if you were to do take out. Also, if you are eating in, does the food do the talking, or does the cool music and the gitchy walls try to distract you from the food.

When I called, the employee didn’t know much about the menu (obviously I ordered food to go). “What do you mean you don’t know what a Dopiaza is?”. Anyways, we got through it and I went for a Vindaloo (text-book) a Madras (bigger text-book) and a Chicken Korma made slightly spicy. Ok… so off I went to pick it up and there was this non-descript room from the outside and i walked into a great little room that wasnt too far ahead of itself and was warmly welcomed. The girl behind the bar had little English and should not have been there. Still, start-up restaurant has to save money wherever it can right? When the Indian gentleman started looking after us. All was great. we got complimentary chic pea salsa whilst we were waiting for the food. We sat at the bar and the area was cool. There were a few tables, but as thought, there were bags and bags of to-go food lining up.

Weird Indian Techno music accompanied us as we waited, but, whatever, the food was ready and off we went. Oh wait. I forgot to mention that I should have mortgaged my house before i decided to pay for the bill. $17.00 a dish. Not my ideal price, it better be worth it.

The food was excellent and was almost worth the price tag. Almost. I would recommend it. When can we start the typical lads night out and crawl into the Indian restaurant afterwards? Ah the old days. If they only delivered. Thanks Southern Spice – very well done. I will be back. Oh, and there was enough for lunch the next day as well. So, it was worth the $17.00 then (?).
