| - I went with four other co-workers to try this place out at lunch. We arrived at around 12:30. First off, when we arrived, the lady at the front was working on ringing up some checks she looked up & told us she would be right with us.
We thought it was a bit odd that she left us all standing there awkardly while she continued to ring up at least 5 checks. Tick-tock, tick-tock... we felt our lunch hour creeping by as we waited to be seated. There were plently of available tables, so that wasn't the problem... but, finally we got seated.
I tried the tomato-coconut soup, which was good... but as Todd points out, if you end up getting the chicken tikka masla, the flavors are much the same. It would have been good to have another selection for the soup.
I did order the chicken tikka masala which comes with a little side serving of vegetables (in a separate bowl) that looked a little mushy and over-cooked, but actually tasted good.
The basmati rice was served in big bowls for everyone to share. I thought the chicken tikka masla was average - not the best I have ever had, but not the worst either.
They didn't bring the naan out until our entrees were served. It would have actually been nice to get that up front along with the soup/salad course. The naan was delicious - hot,fresh, and tasty.
At the end of our meal, they brought out a rice pudding for everyone. It was tasty but by this time, I think everyone was really too full to enjoy it.
The biggest problem during our entire visit was the slow and sluggish service. Also, we were not pleased that our waiter brought out one check. When we asked for separate checks, he was too lazy to do it properly and asked if he could just split it 5 ways. I didn't really appreciate that, but went along with it just to get out of there.
Overall, I thought the food was pretty good but found the service to be sub-par.
