  • 12/28/12 DINNER Our experience was more like 3.5 stars, but I'll give the nice attentive staff an extra half star for effort. First off, I'm thinking, what's "Jainism"? This was the first time I've ever encountered an Indian restaurant that had dishes for those who observe Jain as a religion, and as a cuisine. Or at least identified as Jain on a menu. Quickly and secretly reading Wiki, I find that their cuisine consists of a refusal to eat "bulbs", meaning no garlic, onions, potatoes or such. Fascinating read, Jainism. But back to the meal. We had a LOT of food, cuz we had a GROUPON, but also cuz we love so much about Indian cuisine, and simply don't go enough. - Cuminium: A cocktail containing gin, absinthe, cumin and other things! It was actually quite interesting, and enjoyable. - Vegetable samosas: Not the best we've had, but quite good. - AndhraSpicy Masala Dosa: Under the "southern Indian" column in the menu, this was quite good. Kinda like having the samosa again, except in a crepe, dusted with a spicy powder that, like szechuan pepper, built up spice in the mouth. Great dipping sauces, including one akin to a minestrone soup? Highly recommended, and in fact, I think the "southern" column, or vegetarian selections, is the way to go here. (Keep reading.) - Flying Horse lager: Split a tall Indian beer, this one we had never before encountered, it was light but worked with the main courses. - Shrimp Chettinadu: Billed as a 21-spice concoction (again, something we'd never before encountered), unfortunately the shrimp were overcooked. But the sauce, very dry for a sauce, was interesting enough. - Lamb Pepper Fry: Again the protein, this time lamb, was overcooked. Tough. But the onions, grilled and raw (NOT A JAIN ITEM!) and other things made it overall tasty. So overall we thought India Masala was about mid-way in this town for its quality of Indian cuisine. We've had worse, we've had better. I want to eventually return for the lunch buffet . (I have found that some places which aren't quite successful at dinner do quite well with their buffet.) But as for dinner, I might go back if friends insist, and only go vegetarian. Or maybe be Jain, for an evening. ADDENDUM Oops. Forgot to mention. I had brought a bottle of Gewurztraminer to have with dinner. Corkage was quoted as TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS! And they're not even on the Strip! So don't bother bringing your own, just order a cocktail and split a beer, as we did.
