First experience with an Indian restaurant in Belgium

This Saturday we went to an Indian restaurant (Himalaya) - the first time since we are in Belgium.

I found it on the web, it looked cozy, I made a reservation.

When we got there, the entire restaurant was very full, so it must be good, no?

We ordered:
- sweet lassi
- rum coke (this, they didn't understand - rum AND coke???)
- glas of red wine (which never showed up, except on the bill)
- vegetable pokora (shouldn't it be pakora - and no - it was nothing like in the States, more like a vegetable rosti, very greasy and just not Indian tasting whatsoever)
- Vegetable Mixed Vindaloo (a spicy dish which was good, but again, I missed the Indian taste but maybe this is a Nepalese dish)
- Chicken korma (just chicken in a coconut sauce, no carrots or peas, and very very sweet)

Can you tell we were disappointed?

Not giving up though - we'll just have to try another restaurant next time.
