We have ordered from North of Bombay at least 5 times. Usually it was okay, maybe a little bland, not complex. Also not expensive and reasonably fast.
This time it was dreadful. Every dish was watery. Channa Masala medium was wet. Literally wet, as in when you put it on the flavourless basmatic rice, there was a pool of water. It was also bland and we'd ordered medium.
Beef curry had no vegetables. Usually has some onion or something. Beef was quite dry in the middle and was in a very thin sauce. We picked the beef out and sawed the chunks up with a knife to eat them rather than chewing and chewing. Then threw out the container which as full of a sauce that was soupy and thin. Mr. Patak's sauce would have improved it.
Palak paneer was basically pureed spinach, cooked long enough to displace any flavour or texture. Very few cubes of cheese. We counted eight. Threw most of that out too. Could also have used salt.
Aloo gobi was a welcome change. It was dry, and tough! Cauliflower not cooked enough and was more rubbed with spice, couldn't distinguish which ones, so also a disappointment.
Naan was okay. What can you do to charred bread?
Don't know if we blew it by not adding the tip to our debit bill (we tipped in cash later although I always wonder what I'm tipping for on take out since none of the money makes it to back of house where all the work is done), and that earned us bad food. Or if they were just having a terribly off night.
We won't be going back. $65 on virtually inedible food and an unfriendly attitude on the part of staff too.
