A special lady friend and I came here for dinner once. On *my* recommendation. I'd been here many years prior and it was good. So, off we went.
On myyyyy recommendation.
I was really hungry and wanted something filling. I ordered biryani.
Serves me right for ordering an Indian dish..........in a NON-INDIAN RESTAURANT.
I got a small, pathetic bowl of what was mostly...rice.
Flavourless rice.
For $12.
It had about 5 very pathetically small pieces of beef. I counted that shit. And some veg, but not much.
I was mad. I was really hungry, and this was sad. I sent it back.
I waited around 20 minutes for my meal to come back. I thought they were making me a fresh meal, which I was told they were. When it came back, I was told they just reheated it and added some more beef.
...
MAYBE 7 - 8 PIECES, TOPS. Was someone having a bad day? Did the chef need to take some Advil? Was it too much to ask for a proper BEEF STEW with my RICE?
"It's mostly a rice dish".
That's what the waiter said.
IT'S MOSTLY A RICE DISH FOR 12 FUCKING DOLLARS?
He offered dessert. We passed. I kind of felt bad for him, but not really. He heavily discounted my meal. It didn't save their reputation or quality of food for me. I will never return.
