| - Excited, but confused. Checked their online menu as well as their in-store advertisement, and the prices didn't exactly correlate with their in-store specials.
Had:
Chicken biryani ($5.45) - Comes with 2 pieces of chicken, hardboiled egg, and some kind of yogurt salad. Biryani was flavorful. Portion was very generous (lasted me lunch and dinner). Chicken needs more flavor in order to stand up to the rice.
Lunch special ($5.99) - So online, they say that the lunch special is all day and it's $4.99. It is supposed to come with plain rice, 1 meat curry and 3 veggie curries. On their specials board, it was listed at $4.99 before 3pm, and after 3pm, it costs $5.99. It also comes with 2 veggie curries, and not 3. I was allowed to choose biryani rice though. Also a good portion. Butter chicken is tender and flavorful, and it's got a nice BBQ smokey taste to it. Mutter paneer could have used more paneer, but it was also tasty. Daal was not bad, but I prefered the paneer.
Fish patice (3/$1) - This is almost like a crossbreed between a samosa and a dumpling. It's deep fried and quite tasty. A worthwhile treat. Slightly spicy.
Mutton samosa (4/$1) - Also quite tasty. Does have a mutton taste, but no actual meat texture. Curried mashed potato paste inside. Also slightly spicy.
Mutton roll ($3) - Quite similar to the mutton samosa, except with a few chunks of potato and a few pieces of actual mutton. Also in a roll that is presumably not deep fried. This one is also quite a bit spicier than the patice or the samosa.
The food was quite good. The portions were quite good. The prices were quite good. However, they need to work on their service. It was my first time there, and one of the servers accompanied me as I walked around the restaurant ordering things. Towards the end, when we were about to pay, another server told us to follow him to the cash register to pay. He had mistaken us (myself and my parents) for another couple that he had been serving. We ended up paying for their order, and we were almost given their food. Our original server then told us to follow him and he would sort it out. He berated us for not following him to pay. There is no visible system in place as to how to pay. He was there when the other server told us to follow him, but did not stop us. Not a fan of being berated for something I don't think was entirely my fault.
This location is a tad far for me, but there's a closer one, so I'll go there next time. Hopefully, their service issues get worked out.
