| - After ordering Jaipur Grille several times and enjoying it, we decided to finally check out the place in-person during Summerlicious.
The place was almost empty when we arrived on a Friday night, and we were quickly shown to a nice table by the window. Shortly after placing our order, however, a party of three and a baby were seated at the table right next to ours -- despite the fact that there were many, many other empty tables in the joint.
Now, here's what I've struggled with. Do I make this review all about our experience next to this table of inconsiderate diners? Or do I focus on the food alone? I've decided to go with the former, since the staff felt it was okay to place a small infant at a table *right next to another one* despite ample space in the restaurant.
My appetizer, the Chicken Ginger Tikka (Chicken breast marinated in lemon juice, crushed ginger & garlic, cooked over charcoal), was actually pretty good and I did enjoy it quite a bit. It was only after I'd finished eating it that the aforementioned baby really started to express its displeasure at being out of the house.
The baby wailed for a solid half hour (and probably kept going long after we'd left). Nobody at the table made any effort to shut the baby up, and in fact, they all just started talking louder. The staff not only didn't do anything about this, but basically ignored our table for the rest of our meal. I would've ordered another alcoholic beverage, but nobody asked if I wanted one. Worse still, our water stayed empty right up until it was time to pay the bill.
My main was the Shrimp Masala (Tiger shrimp sautéed with peppers & garlic in tomato & onion masala) and my dessert was the Gulab Jamun (Dumplings cooked in light syrup with saffron & pistachios), but because of the absolutely intolerable ambiance, I was forced to wolf them down in an attempt to get the hell out of there. (I should note, however, that the shrimps were not peeled. The laziness of the chef meant that I was forced to spend a few minutes attempting to peel each of the four or five shrimps, with the endeavor made all-the-more difficult by the sauce that they were soaked in.)
All in all, this was one of the worst, most annoying meals I've had in a very, very long time. Neither of us enjoyed our meals, since we raced through the entree and dessert portions. The fact that we paid about $100 for such an experience is something I won't forget for a long, long time.
