| - So spicy I almost peed myself.
No really, I was tearing up as I ate my chicken madras and I had to take several breaks to gather myself enough to continue. I'm not a hot sauce drinker or anything, but I'm not a spicy food lightweight, either.
It was 3pm on a Saturday and I wanted to try the butter chicken roti at Gandhi. Sadly, they wete closed. So I headed over to India Palace to try out their special ($15 for a samosa, main dish, side, and dessert!) but apparently it wasn't available until 5pm. Feeling desperate and very sad at this point, I ended up going to Everest because I saw a sign outside advertising a special - chicken madras and rice and naan for $8.95 (great deal!) - so I went in, because I wanted any Indian food I could get.
Turned out it was rice OR naan. Oh well. The interior was trendy and cool, and the service was friendly enough. But it took a LONG time to get my food, especially since the place was pretty empty and the meat tasted like leftovers!
The food quality was poor. The chicken had that refrigerated taste that's not very nice - luckily, it was partly masked by the curry and its overwhelming heat. The rice was poor quality but well cooked. The sauce was actually quite good when I was able to taste it.
I feel like the chef probably knew what (s)he was doing but the raw materials were low quality and serving refrigerated chicken is just unacceptable. Combined with the suuuper slooow service - nope, nope, nope!
