ok confession .... my friend Susan L drags me places to try new things... and I go willingly.
She took me to Pyaar and I shrugged and said "roh-k"
So we get their and the first thing I thought was "I am so thankful for air conditioning cuz it is freaking hot outside"
We sat down and it was nice the booth was really roomy and, our hostess (and I am thinking one of the owners) brought us ice water right away.
I ordered a strawberry lasse (i think that is the spelling) I thought it was a soda ... Susan informed me it was a yogurt drink and I wrinkled up my nose, and thought "oh crud I ordered wrong"
Not being a connoissieur of Indian food, I really have a limited idea of what to order.
We ended up ordering Biryani (beef), and chicken Tandoori sizzler, which was a little like fajitas... and Garlic Nan Bread.
the server /hostess/owner brought me my strawberry drink , and it was GOOD. Bonus!
Then she brought the Biryani, which was served a little differently than I had ever tried before. It had cucumber, onion and fresh tomato sliced around it. It was very good and SPICY!! So that yogurt drink was perfect, it totally cut the heat IMMEDIATELY.
I was NOT crazy about the Tandoori ... not my favorite at all. Susan enjoyed it alot (she took the left overs) but this is not a reflection on the whole review , but it is not the best I have tried.
The other thing I was not crazy about... is the buffet ended at 3pm and the food was still in the trays after 4 pm. (just kind of ... sitting there)
However the service was REALLY great. Very accomodating. The tandoori usually comes on one plate and she made sure it came on two plates since she knew we would be sharing. I thought that was really cool. She also made sure that our water never got too empty.
I thought it was really a good experience.
But it is really far away and it isn't a place that I would go to on a regular basis.
I gave it three stars because it was good food ... and good service.
