| - Above average Indian food with nice decor hidden in a little strip mall.
I came in for lunch today to see at not-so-busy restaurant with beautiful decor. I was quickly seated and handed lunch and dinner menu's. I think my waiter was new as he was a little nervous but highly attentive. I asked him if he was new and he said he was normally bus boy but they had him giving this a shot(nice guy). As far as the lunch menu goes, there were many choices, but what looked like the best deal was the 3 course special. $9 for vegetarian, $10 for chicken, and $15 for seafood. Came with a soup or salad, entree with dal, and a desert. I was told that tikka masala would be the sauce/style for the day.
I should have gone chicken(tikka), because their vegetarian should just say tofu, not vegetarian. I hoped for mixed veggies or at least some chick peas, but it was basically sauce with 4 or 5 chunks of tofu in it. I'm not a hate'r of tofu, i just didn't know it was that common in Indian food that it would be considered a main course without mention. Ironically, this "vegetarian" meal was served with a chicken soup. A little grainy but flavor was good overall. My waiter was spot on, I'd say almost overly attentive if I wasn't always in need of something.
I took a brief look at entrees and they sounded great. $12-18ish range. Not too bad for being that close to the peninsula and Lake Norman.
When I walked in the door, I was hoping for 5 stars, beautiful layout, great smell, nice people. But the food is 3-4 stars with promise. I hope they advertise well or do something for attention because this isn't the best location for walk-ins. I'll be back when in the area at lunch, nice diversion from my local go to's for lunch specials(Sushi at the Lake or China Bistro.)
