| - Everyone, please help save this restaurant!!
My wife and I eat Indian food often, and we can tell you the food here is good, really good. But the place was EMPTY. It needs, and DESERVES, lots of customers So, come on in soon. You will be glad that you did.
Back to the food. First, a couple of comments about what other reviewers have said. 1. We received free papadam with condiments. 2. We had beers, so they must have a liquor license.
Next, we had the lamb saag and the chicken korma. All of the lamb in the lamb saag was flavorful and tender. Not like the gristle and tough pieces you sometimes get elsewhere. It was excellent. The chicken korma was also excellent, Flavorful and tender. And both dishes were served hot, not "luke-cold" like so many restaurants.
Next, the bread was also served hot. It hadn't been sitting on a shelf for 15 minutes waiting for the entrees to get ready. Really tasty.
So, any nits?? Well, okay. Three small nits. First, as one reviewer mentioned, the spice level seemed high. We like a lower spice level, so we asked for a "3" on a scale of "10." It seemed more like a "3" on a scale of "5." Too hot for us. But our wonderful server Marisa was quick with a solution. She brought us a cupful of raita (yogurt and cucumber sauce) that when mixed with the rice really cooled things down. Thanks, Marisa.
But speaking of rice, there was an extra charge for it. I know it was only $1.99, but it strikes us as nickel and diming for a Scottsdale restaurant. It's not as though the entrees were extra cheap.
Finally, and this is just personal taste, I like my beer to be cold, not luke-warm. Maybe the Brits who ruled India for a century like warm beer, but I'm guessing an American crowd in Scottsdale wants their beer cold. AT least the mug was cold.
But those are nits. The message here is that the food was terrific and we will be back You should go, too.
