How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
The decor is contemporary and comfortable. A bit more ventilation and more lighting would be good. It's hard to read the menu in the dark! Warning: You really do come out of there smelling heavily scented with the spices... but not in a good way.... unless you like wearing Eau De La India afterwards. So, onto the food: Veggie Samosas: The skin was a bit thick. Not puffy & airy like I'm used to. Sambar Vada: The fried lentil donut had a very thick texture. I've never this before, but I would've enjoyed it more if it tasted less dense. The sambar had a nice flavor. I don't think I could've eaten the donut without it. Mom ordered the Tandoori Chicken dinner: The chicken is less smoky and had less tandoori seasoning than other places. (Those of you used to smoky & lots of seasoning will be disappointed.) The white meat was cooked perfectly, but the dark meat was a bit underdone near the bones. The dinner came with saag paneer (good), mixed veggies (spices didn't agree with me... something with a ginseng taste in it & I don't think they pulled the sinewy parts off the snap peas), and soup (flavorless). The mango custard never came & we didn't bother to ask because we were too full. I ordered the Chicken Sagwala. Well, for $14.95, you would expect to get more than just a few chunks of chicken. The bowl was just slightly a bit larger than the side dish of saag paneer my Mom received with her dinner. Garlic Naan: good Overall, it was ok. I would go back again to try the buffet just to see if they had a dish that could out do the dinner I had....Pick your answer from:
