| - Passage to India is solid from start to finish. The food is delicious, I've been back a few times now to satisfy the craving for Indian food. I've tried several items off the menu, and they were all pretty tasty. In addition to that, Passage to India definitely doesn't skimp on the protein. Portions are huge, and come with a ton of meat. My biggest pet peeve with a lot of the nearby places is ordering something like Lamb Saag and getting only two or three pieces of lamb. But, you definitely won't have that problem here. The vegetarian dishes I've had are also quite good, and the spices and herbs they put on the various naan they serve are always fresh and fragrant.
Service is fairly no frills - don't expect much more than drink refills and order taking, but, that's all I'm looking for personally. The waitresses are polite and get the job done. My only real complaint is that they weren't particularly good at fielding questions about the menu and what not when I brought some friends who were less familiar with Indian food than myself. Indian food can definitely be a bit intimidating so I think it's important for staff at these sorts of restaurants to be able to do a good job helping people who haven't had it before. But, that's not too big of a deal. It's not like they were rude, they just weren't super good at explaining what certain dishes were like.
In general, I don't understand the series of negative reviews this restaurant has. I've had better and I've had a lot worse. But, again, this place is solid. I haven't had a single thing here that wasn't delicious. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
