| - Oh wow. We went to this place Tuesday, November 17th 2015. The grocery store looked average, and the environment smelled very authentic. Upon entering, I noticed that out of the 20 or so tables in the restaurant, only one was occupied. This was a little surprising considering it was right around 5-6pm; perhaps that was during their dinner lull in business.
My friend and I were told by a gentleman there to have any seat. As we walked towards a table, the hostess (I'm guessing) told us to sit at a specific table, near the end, right next to the other occupied table. I would have preferred to have some space, and there was plenty of it in the restaurant. Oh well, no problems.
After being seated, and looking over the menu, I placed my order for Chicken Tikka Masala, with the option of their Thali dinner. I don't remember everything that was listed on the menu the the dinner contained, but I do remember being excited about the pickle in particular. My friend went to order, and the waitress just gave her a death stare, and suggested she tried something else.
Anyhow, an amount of time passes and the waitress brings out our food. We each ordered the full dinner, and it was delivered on what appeared to be a stainless steel dinner tray, more commonly used in the Army or in prison. There was no pickle to be found, but a strange assortment of extra items. Some mysterious white sauce (pudding?), which tasted strange. Some type of sweet potatoes, which was alright. A very very sparse, generic "salad" consisting of one slice of cucumber, one cherry tomato, a couple rings of onion and a few pieces of lettuce. There was also something I'm not sure what it was, some sort of nut thing with a vinegar-type sauce? Tasted awful. But my main order, the chicken tikka masala was acceptable, and the naan was very good.
When we asked what the mysterious foods were, the hostess completely ignored our question. I asked for the check, and the hostess asked why I wasn't going to eat the rest of my food. I told her I needed to get on the road and I had eaten everything I wanted, and the food was very good. She then told me I should try to buffet then, and pointed over towards an empty buffet that closed a number of hours earlier. I was confused by this. The hostess brings out the check for my friend and I (Separate checks). My friend puts cash in hers, and I put my credit card in mine, and we wait for a while for the hostess to come collect these and finish our business. Some time passes, and the hostess brings my friend's book back with change in it, but we notice she is also palming a $20 - the same $20 my friend originally was paying with. My check was MIA, perhaps the credit card machine is taking a while to process? The hostess just wandered past us to the back of the store, where the $20 in her hand disappeared, and she just continued hovering around us giving us bad looks.
Perhaps 5 minutes later the hostess finally brings my card and receipt back, and then proceeds to stand there (With her hands full of our used dishes) and waits for me to fill out the credit card slip. I was not going to fill it out in front of her, and I've never had such odd service in my life. After waiting and realizing she isn't going to leave, I just scribble in a small tip, close the book, make sure to grab my receipt and we get ready to leave.
As we proceed out, we noticed two cockroaches (live) on the floor under the table next to us. They most likely watched us eat our entire meal. All in all, the food was alright for what I ordered, the vibe and atmosphere was terrible (although the chair was not uncomfortable), the hostess was the center of my review though - she spent more time sending hateful gazes at us than anything. And then ignoring our questions, and just saying odd things, coupled with the overall odd feel of the place (no one else came into the restaurant in the over hour we were there), I would absolutely not recommend going here unless you want a story to tell. The service took a while, especially considering the other table had their food by the time we were seated. It took us over an hour overall for the entire dining experience, and it did not take us but a minute to figure out what we were going to order.
TL, DR: main course was alright; super weird and slow service, weird vibe, and lack of cleanliness = an experience to remember.
