| - First of all, an emphasis that the food by itself is 5-star quality. I have no idea what magical ingredients or spices they put in their soup/curry/noodles, but it's absolutely delicious. I also really enjoyed the vibe of the place - the decorations were on the hippie side, down to the tables and chairs and the washrooms. Reservations can be made easily online, a huge plus in my opinion (especially downtown...).
The stars I took off were for service alone. We went there on a Monday afternoon at 2pm, and the restaurant was half empty. So I really cannot understand why our waitress seemed to be in such a hurry to get us out of the place. 5 minutes after I received the menu, she came up to ask for orders - of course, we said that we needed more time. She gave us another 5 minutes, then came again! We asked for more time.
On the other hand, it took us multiple tries to get our water glasses refilled. Please understand that this was pretty annoying since the food could get quite spicy and water is sort of a necessity. Then, as soon as my bowl was empty, the waitress (the same waitress who disappeared throughout the rest of our meal), materialized and asked if we would like our bills. Needless to say, we were not greeted on our way out.
Damnit, Pai! I really wanted to give you a high rating after salivating over all the pictures here.
