text: It is not that India Garden is actively bad but there is not much to recommend it either The food is your typical Americanized grub the Indian equivalent of Chinese TakeoutnnThe service is pretty unfriendly The waiter mumbled unintelligibly over the blaring music then he looked impatient and put out when I asked him to repeat what he said No one from the waitstaff looked like he wanted to be therennThe only highlight was that the vegetarian and some of the chicken dishes are half off after pm My order of chicken saag at probably does qualify as a bargain but the watery saag and the stingy bits of chicken make the regular price kind of a rip off So after normalizing for the overpriced menu I consider the discount to be more like nnConclusion there are better options unless you are trapped in Oakland past pm and starvingnn stars
