| - This was our second visit to the Indian Curry Bowl. We ate there shortly after it opened, and decided then never to go back. It was very expensive, especially for the no-frills location and decor. There was no-one in the place at 6PM except us, and they still got our order completely wrong.
But it's been awhile, and there is a sign that says Best of Las Vegas 2011 (is there a restaurant that isn't on the Best of Las Vegas list?), so we went in for the lunch buffet. The troll that owns the place is almost enough to make you flee in fright, but we suffered through him anyway. There were about 10 different things on the buffet table, two chicken dishes, meatballs and the rest vegetarian dishes. Naan at the beginning of the table should have been enough to make us change our mind. It was charred, flat and dry, but we took a piece anyway. The chicken curry was okay, and the "butter" chicken, whatever that is, wasn't too bad either. However, most of the rest of the dishes were less than good. Naan, usually one of our guilty pleasures, was awful.
We have eaten in many, many Indian restaurants here and around the world and are very familiar with Indian food, bad and good. Origin India in Las Vegas, in our opinion, is the very best in town, and India Oven is pretty good too.
There were only two other tables of people in the restaurant while we were there, at the noon hour, and one of them was eating the food with gusto. I don't want to question their taste, because this place has been open for a couple of years, so there must be some people who like it. However, we don't, and won't be going back.
