Question: While my experience was not as appalling as the previous reviewer's, I, too, can hardly recommend a meal at The Bayou. But I did (after some thought) choose to give it two stars, rather than one, so let me explain why:

The food wasn't terrible. It was bland and uncreative. I ordered the red beans and rice with andouille sausage. The hearty portion of it that I was served was pretty good, but under-salted and perhaps under-seasoned, in general. The highlight of the meal might have been our appetizer of Bourbon Hot Wings, which were nice and meaty with a good, spicy sauce coating them.

What was really more atrocious than the food at The Bayou was the decor and the service. Michael R. noted that the murals on the inside walls of the restaurant are tacky and touristy. I'll give him that, but my bigger complaint was the furniture. The restaurant is entirely indoors, and yet the only table/chair options are metal ""grate"" patio furniture! Great for an evening outdoors (and necessary, I understand, if you need weather resistant pieces), but uncomfortable and unnecessary indoors.

And the service was slow. It took our server a long time to seat us, and to bring us our drinks. The appetizer was slow coming out, as was the main course. The time in between service and the obligatory check-in (""how is everything?"") was long, as well, which was unfortunate because it meant that we didn't even get salt on our table until we were halfway through our main course. The slow service also meant that when I was unsatisfied with my drink (I ordered an Old Fashioned. What they served me was a watery glass of whiskey with seemingly no other flavoring), it took a while to exchange it (for the Nola Cola, which was actually quite good).

Two stars or one, the bottom line on The Bayou is probably still: don't bother.

Answer: NEGATIVE

Question: Caveat: my parents were in the restaurant business in Los Angeles when I was a kid. In the Indian food restaurant business. I know my Indian food. I know what's good, what's not so good. Years ago (like 5), I went to Origin India and was blown away by the food. It set the bar for Indian food in Las Vegas.

I took my daughters (7 years old) to Origin India a few weeks ago. Figured it's time they're exposed to their peoples' food. The place still looks the same (which is quite nice, actually). The gentleman who waited on us was very friendly. He even brought my daughters out free Mango Lassi's. The lassi's were delicious. Reminded me exactly of those served in my parents' place in LA (now long gone).

For the kiddos, I ordered plain Naan, tandoori chicken and plain rice. For myself, the vegetable biryani and lamb vindaloo (my favorite dish in the world when done right). And a Kingfisher, which if you haven't tried it, it's a fantastic beer!

Overall, I was pretty underwhelmed by the food.

The naan seemed flatter than it should be but tasted good. The tandoori chicken was a little on the dry side. Not unlike that you'd find at an Indian food buffet.

The vegetable biryani was a complete disappointment: mushy rice, too wet, soft and flavorless (probably canned) vegetables.

The lamb vindaloo was not good. It kind of tasted like vindaloo but mostly didn't. It's hard to explain but the flavors just didn't seem developed enough. You could tell there were spices and flavors in there but they just weren't coming through. The funny thing is, when I took the leftovers out of the fridge to eat the next day, the sauce tasted a 100 times better. I'm guessing the vindaloo sauce wasn't allowed to mix and marry for some time like it needs before being served.

Despite really friendly service, we won't be back.

Question: My mother was placed here at age 79 after being hospitalized for 3 days for dehydration. She was very weak and could not walk. She also was on a fluid pill and had to be taken to the bathroom frequently. When she pushed the call button no one shows up for at least 10 minutes. I was there and pushed the call button and no one shows up so I had to end up taking her to the bathroom and I have a bad back. The food is no good. No one there cares about you. We tried the Chandler location and that was even worse. She ended up falling trying to get to the bathroom because no one showed up to take her and they moved her wheel chair away from the bed. I'm not sure why. So she now has a fractured wrist. I took her out of there and got her a private caregiver in her own home. THE PT was a young girl and didn't seem to be very knowledgable either.

Answer:
NEGATIVE
