| - Stopped in for lunch today based on the raving reviews of the place. Can't say I was disappointed necessarily, but I wasn't blown away either.
They brought out Naan which was pretty good, and I ordered a "Diet Coke" after asking if they had it (and they said yes) but come to find out it was actually Diet Pepsi... this is a real pet peeve of mine. They are absolutely not the same and when someone specifically asks if you have Diet Coke, the answer should only be yes if in fact you have it. Would Diet RC Cola or Diet Shasta have been ok? Why then is Diet Pepsi ok to substitute?
Alright, I'm done with that...
Had the lunch buffet which honestly didn't have a whole lot of selections. The typical fare... sag paneer, dal lentils (?), some delicious potato thing, and my fave, chicken tikka masala. There was another chicken dish (which I don't remember the name) but I did NOT like the flavor at all... something was just off with it. I'm hoping it was just some spice that I hadn't had before (although I've had my fair share of Indian cuisine).
Anyway, overall not bad, but I wasn't too thrilled to get the bill and see that the lunch buffet is $10 (considering it was kinda limited, and after all, it's LUNCH, how much can one person eat). I think there should be a blanket rule that lunch buffets do not cost more than 8 bucks max (and $7 would make me happy). Maybe that's just me. My fave Indian place in Mesa is $10 for dinner and you get WAY more selection.
So, bottom line, the food was good but not spectacular. If I happen to be in the area and really craving Indian, I won't say no, but I'm not driving out of my way to go here.
