| - Food 2.5/5 (50% of final grade)
From my experience with South-Asian restaurants (although limited), this restaurant didn't stick out as anything particularly special. If anything, the portions were small (perhaps due to Summerlicious?)... They had free refills of the rice though, so I guess the concentration was to fill our stomachs with the rice smeared with the gravies they drowned their entrees in.
Ambiance 3.5/5 (15% of final grade)
My party of four was seated at a high table, and placed delicately on our table was a candle in a glass holder. The general lighting was a cozy burgundy, giving the place a rustic glow that was both upscale yet casual.
Service 3/5 (15% of final grade)
Our glasses were always filled, they ordered our food promptly (as if they wanted us to order ASAP), and the food came fast. The appetizer came really fast and the entree came only after quite some time though. Also, it almost seemed as if they wanted to shoo us off, and although there wasn't anything impolite about what was said, their tone of voice was of annoyance-- we didn't even make any requests except to refill our rice once! I still give it a slightly above par mark for attentiveness though -- glasses filled, chums!
Cost 2/5 (10% of final grade)
I think for the taste aspect of the food I could easily find it for a much more affordable price elsewhere. That extra $20 bucks or so you're paying is for the atmosphere and the atmosphere only.
Brownie Points 2.5/5 (10% of final grade)
The placement of the food was nice. Made for some picture worthy Yelp photos!
Final Grade = 53.5/100 = 3 Stars
TLDR: I guess it's an appropriate location to try out for Summerlicious, but not for its regular price.
