| - I absolutely love this place! It's delicious, but a little bit pricey for what you get (hence one star off).
They offer spice levels from 1-10, and from 10-100 if you're brave. I'm stupid brave.
I've eaten here many times. I've had a 5. Nothing.
9? No challenge.
15. Waiters are asking me if I'm sure. Still, nothing for me.
25. I guess there's a kick? Come at me again.
Tired of asking for more and more spice, I ask for 50. The waiter looks at me, trying to talk me out of it. I swear, at one point he ran over to ask if everything was okay. I'll be honest, 50 gave me sweats.... wiping my brow and running nose. Finally spicy enough for me!
Unfortunately, it tasted like garbage. Instead of a deliciously smooth and flavorful curry, it tasted like chalk. Moral of the story, even if you can handle a 50, don't get it! There's more powder than curry. It would probably be really tasty if they used a spicier pepper instead of more and more of their standard spice.
That's not their fault though, Zen is delicious if you're sane and order a regular level of spice ;)
