| - First time dining here, thanks to a great deal on Restaurant.com. Overall, really nice decor (trendy, hip, fancy but no muisic), our food was very good but our service wasn't. Overall value (even without the gift certificate) was good.
For about $50, we got an appetizer (recommended by the waitress), two entrees (Chicken Tikka Masala & Lamb Rogan Josh), a generous portion of Saffron Rice, 3 orders of Garlic Naan (get at least one per person, we got an adtl for the leftovers) and 2 Mango Lassi (sweet drink to balance out the spicy foods). Everything tasted great.
We ordered a spice level of 3 out of 5...we both like it medium spicy - mine was a bit too tame for my tastes, so I asked for the hot pepper paste on the side...a few dabs and I could dial in my desired heat.
Our food tasted fresh, well prepared and rich. But Cafe Tandoor (Aurora location) is tough to beat, and Cuisine of India (Parma Heights) isn't far behind.
My only real complaint was that our service was incredibly slow, and kitchen service seemed slow as well (even for Indian food)...had the waitress been back to check on us, refill our drinks, etc. the wait may not have seemed like anything at all.
That said, I would come back, possibly for the lunch buffet, and at ca. $15 a dinner entree, we could split a good meal, add some naan and lassi and still come out around $25! Not bad for a place that nice.
