"Would you like some naan to go with that proselytizing?"
I have been in the Bombay Grill on several occasions and have always found the food and the experience to be pleasant, though not outstanding. Since it is closer to me than Saffron Patch, I found it to be a decent substitute. Today, I ordered the Aloo Gobi which I have ordered many times at both the Bombay Grill and other Indian restaurants. When it arrived, I found it to be very dry and except for the "heat", possessing little flavor.
However, as poor as it was, it is not the food about which I am writing, When I came in and sat down I immediately ordered, knowing in advance what dish I wanted. As I sat waiting for my food I was struck by the awful music playing over the speakers instead of the usual appropriate Indian music. I listened closer and soon realized that they were playing the local "Jesus-rock" station ("The Fish"). Unbelievable. I requested of the waitress that she put on something else and she told me the owner liked to listen to it while he was working.
I was just about ready to walk out when she brought me my food and fortunately she finally changed it to Indian music. But what could possibly dispose someone to think that pushing your religious views on the public is a good business practice? I don't go out to eat to be preached to and I found it highly offensive.
Needless to say, I won't be returning to this establishment. I'll drive the extra miles to Saffron Patch.....the food is better anyway!
