| - When I heard a new Indian restaurant was opening up in the Southwest, I was over the moon! Alas, this place just isn't very good at all.
We came here for the lunch buffet and were immediately greeted and seated. A bus boy (I guess) brought over a bottle of water and left it along with 2 glasses at the table. My boyfriend (starving) got up and already headed over to the buffet while i waited for the waiter. After about 5 minutes, the hostess who greeted us told me I should go up and grab some food, that they would bring naan to the table (I just wanted to tell our waitress we wanted a diet coke and iced tea... and we were both having the buffet... but OK).
So I head over to the buffet and there are no plates. No biggie... I'm sure it happens everywhere, so I just stand there awkwardly waiting for plates. I see the hostess again and ask her for plates and she told me I could have a seat and they would be out in about 5 minutes.
Finally, the plates are out! Yey! I head over to the buffet and the floors are so dirty my shoes are literally sticking to the floor ~ like the floor had been coated with a thin layer of honey. I'm too hungry to care, so I dig in... After noticing that most of the dishes were almost gone (like just the swill at the bottom of the bin), I mixed and matched some white rice, masala rice, chicken tikka masala, paneer tikka masala, a mushroom vegan dish and a weird yellow pepper dish I'd never heard of or seen before (there were no spinach dishes, which was really disappointing-- love me some saag!)
*Also, some of the dishes had printed pieces of paper next to them that said whet they were... printed and just laid out on the table with no stand or anything, and others were written on torn scratch pieces of paper next to the food. They need to invest in some cheap acrylic display stands or something. A torn up piece of paper lying on the table next to a dish is kind of weird and lacks a professional touch imho.
Sadly, the rice was really hard and was either under-cooked, or old and dried out. The vegan dishes were inedible (just not good) the chicken tikka was A-OK and passable, but very much tomato based and not nearly creamy enough-- same as the paneer masala.
There were 2 gulab jamun left in the bin... which I helped myself to for dessert, and I put khir over top of them. The gulab were very dense and not light balls of sugary goodness-- again like they'd been sitting there for a really long time, and the khir was 90% sugary milk and 10% rice. Not the correct consistency at all.
All things considered, the hostess was nice. The waitstaff... non-existent, the food, mediocre at best. We won't be returning.
(The waiter or waitress never did come to the table-- we went up and paid for our water and 2 buffets at the hostess counter-- $32 plus tip... for who knows).
