| - I have spent nearly every birthday, some valentines days, and some anniversaries for the past 6 years eating at Indian restaurants. i was excited to try a new place right across the street while here in TO on vacation. I was totally drawn in by the sign outside offering 35 items for a lunch buffet.
I don't know where to start once we got inside.
The place needs a complete overhaul of look inside. Yes, you expect indian restaurants, by and large, to look very tacky. But tacky is one thing. Completely gross is another. And oh yea, fix the air conditioner, it was hot and sticky inside. I have included photos of the floors, just in case you were wondering.
Our server: well, almost immediately after he sat us, besides one other couple, we were the ONLY people there, i believe he chose to forget we were there. There was no service. Getting a water refill was like pulling teeth. Getting his attention to get the check? Yea, good thing we weren't in a rush to get anywhere. And in the 10 seconds it takes to look at the bill to make sure it's right and to put the credit card in the billfold, he disappeared. Don't think we saw him again for another 10-15 minutes. Took longer to get the bill paid (requesting it, receiving it, paying for it) than it did to eat lunch.
The food: eh, just eh. There were only a few main dishes. butter chicken (in the US, it's commonly called Makhani), which i had thought would be tandoori chicken in sauce, but instead was bone-in chicken. good sauce, decent cuts of chicken, though mostly legs, very little white meat. there was a beef dish, but the beef was so tough to cut and chew, that we didn't even eat it. there was a goat dish, which we did not try. A tandoori chicken with no sauce (again, mostly legs). And some veggie options.
Then were was a small little bar behind it with some small bowls of things that had flies all over them, so we didn't eat those. I would guess only about 15 total items, including the ones that the flies liked.
I mean, it was ok, but I wouldn't ever go back.
