After an extensive walk through Yorkville taking some pictures of the lovely holiday decorations, we ended up walking around this area and decided to get dinner here. We figured there would be something to please everyone at a decent price. The closer to the holidays, the cheaper I get. We got lucky and were seated in the bar area so no wait! Until the table they gave us was pushed up against the wall (right where the fire hose thing-y was). Certainly hope no fires break out because no way can you access that thing (which I think may be illegal, but who am I to say..lol). After we squeezed in (I am a petite person and I had trouble getting into the area/seat. I almost was going to go under the table, but with a lot of stomach sucking in I managed to just barely fit in).
My order of butter chicken (why do I get Indian food from non Indian restaurants??) came with some pieces of chicken with half decent sauce and some little burnt up bits on the rice that was not fresh. I later realized those burnt bits were cauliflower. I also got about 2 pieces of small naan with it...but hard. It actually cracked when I tried to break off a piece to sop up the sauce. Not the fresh, pillowy naan breads that I am familiar with.
The only redeeming part was that the drinks were decent (don't bother super sizing it because it is an extra $3 for that privilege and that my friend got the steak with the lobster/mash potato mash up. I tried a piece of the steak and it was pretty good! Damn, so ordered the wrong dish.
The menu is pretty extensive so lots of choices, the service is ok..although since we were sitting in the front we could see about 4 servers just congregating at that front. If 2 of them were on the floor getting orders out or getting bills to the table service would have been faster.
There is an outdoor area but since it was where are my gloves freaking ass cold, obviously it was not open.
At least they don't give you crayons and that brown craft paper on the table anymore!
