Disappointing. This has long been one of our favorite restaurants as we love Indian food; we've eaten here over a dozen times.. THhs was our second visit after returning from a three week visit to India.
Everything tasted a bit flat. The Dal Makhani was not as smooth or spicy as that in country. The Massala and Korma were watery and WAY under spiced.
The Tandoori chicken was a disaster: Covered with a gooey something. The accompanying onions were actual cooked limp, not raw as with authentic.
It is my firm conviction, based on 40 years experience eating all over the world, that ethnic restaurants, to retain authenticity, must have a large clientele of first generation natives. Otherwise, the food becomes dumbed down to American tastes. [That' s why, for example, it is almost impossible to find the good German food in the US I experienced living in Germany for three years.] I hope this is not happening to Marigold Maison.
