| - I accidentally discovered this place yesterday, my plan was to have a late lunch at Tasty Kabob which is next door to this very new restaurant. Tasty Kabob is closed on Mondays, I had no idea so I decided to have lunch here instead.
I ended up leaving and having my lunch at Curry Corner up the street for the following reason.
The gent working was highly professional and very friendly. I ordered Samosa as appetizer and Haleem (goat) as my main dish. The gent presented a hand-written menu on a piece of paper with no prices which I though was very strange. Why would you officially open a restaurant if you haven't even printed menus??? Very strange...
So my main dish arrives while I'm still eating the Samosa. I've had Haleem at many Indian and Pakistani restaurant but had never ever seen a PINK colored Haleem in my life! I tasted it and smelled something strange, almost like burned plastic! And, the worse part, the gent brings me PITA bread!!! I couldn't believe it! This is a South Asian joint so why the heck are you serving me pita, that's Mediterranean/Arab/Mid Eastern! I wanted fresh Naan from the brick clay oven! When I pointed this out, the gent apologized and said sorry no Naan yet!!! Again, why did you even open this place when you're not ready??? And, he was allegedly working on preparing a "big order for 200 people"! Yeah alright! And serve the pita instead of Naan???
I politely declined to eat, was very angry but didn't express my anger, and offered to pay so I could get the hell out and find a real place. He refused to take my none but I still left $2 for the bottle of water on the table.
Avoid this place at least until they are fully prepared and truly open, don't be fooled by the 'Grand Opening' sign! And, DO NOT order the Goat Haleem you will regret it!
