I dined here last night with my friend, with no expectations we thought we would try something different than our usual Indian restaurant. We purchased a voucher from Living Social worth 50$ so when we arrived for our 8PM reservation the restaurant had a fair amount of people.
We ordered the non-vegetarian platter as an appetizer, the curry special which consisted of chicken chettinad and beef kadhai and the mushroom makini. It took 40 minutes for us to receive the appetizer. We both thought the appetizer was average but nothing relatively special. We received our meals at 9PM, one hour after our arrival. The curry dish my friend ordered was warm but not fresh, the mushroom makini was fresh but the flavour was too much like I was eating butter. I ate about 1/4 of the mushroom makini because the butter taste was overwhelming.
The service was below average, we had ordered water and when we wanted more there was no one to ask. Upon arrival the table clothes were dirty and the next table was not cleaned. I noticed there were only 2 chefs in the kitchen, 2 waiters and a manager on a Friday evening.
When we received our bill, usually when we have a voucher worth 50$ and we did not spend our maximum we would not need to pay tip or the taxes. But in this situation the waiter told us we had to and it was not included with the voucher. So I had to pay the taxes when the voucher would have covered the overall amount, this has never occurred to me as I have used vouchers in the past and if I have not used over the amount given it would be counted as tip. SO I gave the waiter 10$ and on top of that the remainder of the voucher which is 8$ equals 18$ tip which is completely ridiculous for the service we received. I was overall disappointed in this experience, I would never go back to this place again. I cannot explain the disappointment but we learned not to go back to this place for Indian food.
