Having only eaten Indian food one other time, years ago, I consider this my first real experience with Indian food. We went on a weekday night and there was only one other table seated, so service was good.
My lack of experience with Indian food meant I was relying on the menu for guidance. The menu seemed fairly descriptive and I was able to get a pretty good idea of what I was ordering. I was a little confused as to which items were spicy and which ones weren't. It turned out pretty much anything could be spicy (on the ol' 1-5 scale). However, since I wasn't aware of this at the time and wanted something spicy, I decided to go with the chicken vindaloo (which had the word "HOT" in the description). I went with a 3 on the spiciness. The dish was quite delicious and it was certainly spicy. In retrospect, I may have actually been okay with a 2 on the spiciness since this left me with sweat dripping off my brow. My chief complaint was with the portion sizes. I thought all the portions we had at our table were on the small side, especially for the price.
Though the food was at least 4 stars in my book, the price and small portion sizes of the entrees mean I can't go above a 3. However, I do look forward to going back and trying some of the other dishes soon.
