| - Tried OM for the first time today. Placed an order through Yelp and had it delivered to my work. Overall, I was pretty pleased.
One of the items we ordered wasn't available. They called me to let me know and offered a similar substitution so that was fine. The flaw with ordering online, though, was that it allowed me to choose what time I wanted the food delivered, however, the restaurant couldn't meet that time so it ended up being close to an hour later than I had originally hoped for. I selected 11:35 for delivery, however they said since they don't open until 11:30 it wouldn't be ready until 12-12:30. I didn't check the hours before ordering, but it really shouldn't have given that option if it wasn't actually a feasible time. Oh well. Glitch in the system.
The food itself was quite tasty. I am still an Indian food novice, so ordering from a menu tends to be a bit of a crap shoot. What I chose was great though, and what my coworker ordered was DELICIOUS. I'll be ordering what she got next. I chose the Makhani. It was very similar to Tikka Masala, which I love, but the spices and flavors seemed a bit muted. My coworker got the Keema Dosa. First of all, it was gigantic. Easily two meals. It was a basically a crepe rolled and filled with ground meat (she had chicken) that was amazingly seasoned and flavorful. They offer this dish with lamb which I can't wait to try. We also ordered a couple Naans, one which was baked with fruit and nuts, very yummy! I tried the Phulka bread which I wasn't really impressed with, but at least now I know what it is! I'm sure it was made properly, it just wasn't my thing.
I definitely plan to try more items and hope to check out their lunch buffet asap!
