I got a Groupon and it was about to expire, so I decided to head there tonight. There were many factors that contributed to this negative review.
When my friend and I arrived we were greeted warmly and seated. The service was good and the server was attentive.
Groupon was $10 for $20. We decided to try the Sizzling Tandoori Grill ($23) to hit the price and try different meats and seafood. Would have been perfect but he said they'd be closing soon and it'd take 20 minutes. We opted for King Prawns ($20) and Aloo Gobhi ($12) instead, which ended up taking longer than 20 minutes.
Food was hot and smelled great. The King Prawns was okay, but nothing special. If you're not a fan of spicy food or can't handle it, then I strongly recommend not coming here. I downed 2 glasses of water and took a break - but I don't have a high tolerance for spice. Be warned. The portions were adequate and I wasn't as wow-ed as I should be for how much it cost.
Moreover, my friend went up to pay and was informed that there was a $6 'surcharge' for our $35 meal. That should have been agreed on earlier. Before we left, I asked what the fee was about and he said it was gratuity. Before knowing this, my friend had went ahead and paid for the meal, 'surcharge', and an additional 15% tip.
I understand this is a business but I feel like they're playing their customers. I don't say this about a lot of places, but I definitely won't be going back.
